Oh man, there's no way I can choose just three.  Here's a bunch as they come to me:

Not sweating at the slightest exertion.

Being off almost all of my medications.

Being able to do push-ups for literally the first time in my life.

Fitting into school desks.

Ride roller coasters without worrying about being kicked off.

Buy clothes in any store, not just overpriced big and tall shops.

Sit in any patio furniture and not worry about breaking it.

Being able to use lightweight hiking gear.

Walk with confidence wherever I go.

And many, many others.

Love this post!  Here are mine!

1. No more panic about the plane seatbelt fitting.  Also I recently sat in the middle seat on a 5 hr flight, and was perfectly comfortable.  Seriously...who knew?!?!

2.  Fitting in a restaurant booth

3.  I can wear shoes/sandals w side buckles (couldn't twist and turn to buckle my own shoes pre-surgery)

4. Sleeveless shirts!!!!

5.  Bracelets fit!

6.  Going to the gym without feeling like I don't belong 

7.  Wearing mini- dresses (pre-surgery I gave up on dresses because my legs looked so fat and my thighs would rub together...ow!)

8.  Scootering on my 7 yo's scooter (the first time I did that, she was in AWE...I'd never played outside with her like that)

we are planning on going to Hershey Park at the end of the summer.  I'm still debating on whether I'm going to try rides.  I get motion sickness, but may suck it up...we'll see!

Banded 12/18/08.  Band removed and revision to RNY on 12/15/14.
