Were any of you afraid to do things because you were MO? Has it changed after WLS?

Ok, I am a big chicken. Whenever my friends want to do something like climbing down a cliff to the beach, or mountain biking, etc., I find myself begging out. I have always been so unsure of myself. If anyone is going to get hurt doing something like that, it will be me. It always is. I am just wondering recently if maybe I am so unsure of my movements because I weigh so much more than other people. Example: I was at a park with my boyfriend last weekend, and he jumps off the side of the bank to a rock in the river, and proceeds to jump from rock to rock. Then he tells me to come with! No way would I do that, I would fall in, I know it! I am just thinking maybe I am like this because things like that are harder for me, since I weigh a whole extra person. Did any of you feel like this post-op, and did it change once the weight was gone? I would like to be more daring like that, and I hope that maybe I will gain confidence in my physical skills as the weight drops. Thanks!
