We need a game of S.M.E.T.
We haven't played S.M.E.T. in a long time! Lets remember why we had this surgery!!
For newbies to the game it stands for So Much Easier To...and you list things you can do now as opposed to pre WLS.
sooo....So Much Easier To...
go up and down stairs
run across the parking lot to get out of the rain
fit in a public bathroom stall
rock a pair of size 6 black leather pants
have a fun and/or sexy halloween costume
sit anywhere and not only fit but not worry about the seat breaking
make whooopie!!!!!
now, what is your S.M.E.T.????

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

Easier to walk long periods of time
Manuever myself around "tight" corners when moving things around, like for instance having to reach behind an armoir for extension cords.
Play with my dog.

Don't say anything unkind, untrue, or unnecessary.
Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith ...
it is the price of love.

sit in an airplane and maneuver through airports
be happy with what I see in the mirror
be a runner
not dread dr.'s app't.'s
eat in public and not feel everyone's eyes on me
sit in theaters without spilling over into my DH's seat
find really cute clothes
live life fully without the 'invisibility" cloak of my obesity making me think I am hiding from the world
SMET:
Buy clothes I like vs. ones that simply fit. And single digit size!
Wear non-granny jeans that zip with NO elastic waist.
Look in the mirror (although the fat girl still shows up sometimes....sigh!).
Do my job which requires a lot of standing, crouching, walking.
Buckle an airplane seat belt without closing my eyes and praying.
I need to remind myself of these victories. Thanks, Meggie, for helping me focus on the good!

Bend over and tie my shoes or get something out of the bottom cabinets
Take the stairs
To walk between the tables at a crowded restuarant
Get in an out of the car
Not worrying about spilling over into some elses space.

S.M.E.T. LOVE IT....except I have to really think about it~being 7 years out I have taken my new life for granted...
Its soooo much easier to;
Breathe while walking, running, swimming
To Stand for long periods of time
To play with my kids
To cross my legs,
To put on nylons (when I have too)
I'll stop here cause I want to see more S.M.E.T. in my future....
love & hugs
