That's awesome! I look forward to doing my toes again without huffing and puffing. lol

It's those little nsvs that keep us going sometimes, isn't it? Keep up the great work!

LOVE THIS POST!! That had to be one of the best things about losing weight. I can also tie my sneakers and put on nylons. I could NOT do any of those things before the Lap Band.

Thanks for posting this. You are right, it is the small things we should commend ourselves on--not the number on the scale but things that make our life better. :smile:

After I lost 70 pounds I could tie my sneakers. Now, after another 35 pound loss, I can tie them so the bow is on top of the sneaker and not off to the side fat lady style. :smile:

It used to such an effort to paint my toes, now it's easy. Isn't it a great feeling?!!

Fitting into arena seats (comfortably), your feet not hurting anymore when you wear heels, being able to stand or walk for hours without effort, no more swollen ©ankles, joints hurting less, being able to shop anywhere, the list is endless! Skinny people may not get it, but you all do.

Leg-crossing rocks! I like wrapping a regular sized bath towel around me--and having nothing protrude. (Actually, there's an 11-inch overlap--yes, I measured LOL).

And being in the bathtub---with everything submerged. That's fun.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
