What are you enjoying most?

I am really enjoying some things I have not enjoyed in years. I've lost 50 lbs since the start of my dieting a few months ago, most of which after I got the sleeve Dec 6th.

  • Getting out of the van without having to put the seat all the way back - and not forcing my belly past the steering wheel.
  • Not getting winded putting on my socks!
  • Not brushing against the shower door when I am exiting the shower.
  • Not strangling my junk when I sit - my pant legs aren't tight any more.
  • Sitting with the dog, he actually lies on the recliners cushion rather than half on my leg.
  • The actual TASTE of food rather than the AFTER taste of what's left after I half chew it and swallow as much as possible.
  • Actually seeing Mr Peter without having to hunch forward and crane my neck.
  • Being able to tuck in my shirt and not have it come out and let my muffin top show
  • My boxer / briefs actually have length in the legs now! They go down my thigh rather than bunch up against my crotch and hips.
  • SAD FACT - being able to wipe properly
  • My skin is actually clearing up! Nasty little bumps along my forehead and crusty scales are gone on my back!

So what are your little pleasures that are coming back?

I can say we all have the same enjoyments hahaha, well here are mine:

- As stated being able to wipe the rear end is super duper easier, even peeing is so not a pain anymore

- getting compliments from people that havent seen me since before my surgery

- all my neighbors look at me with amazement, and that feeling is GREATTTT!

- being able to get out the car w/o my belling hitting the damn horn, after seeing the movie norbit I was totally embarrassed with that

- Sex is definitely better, its now a workout and what I mean workout, able to be in more positions and enjoying it so much I dont want to be done so fast hahahaha

- not being looked at like an E.T of some sort like I fell out from the sky

- little kids not looking at me and them whispering to their parents "mom why is he so big?"

- I notice women actually notice me walking by now, im cracking necks hahahaha

- not being scared to get into anyones car anymore, whenever me and friends would take rides I never wanted to go in, b/c I didnt want to be the factor of anyone else not fitting or looking like im stuck in the seat.

- love the fact I no longer have to sit in the front seat of a car

- when going out to a club, I never let any female dance on me b/c Mr Peter was very hidden and I didnt want the female to look at me and say "hey where is Mr Peter at?" al thought now its not that bad for i do have that little fat pouch on top of it that I hate.

- Mr Peter has a few more inches on him which is a huge plus!

- now I know I wont die of a heart attack in 2-3 years

- I can actually taste my food and eat AND feel great after that meal

- not being diabetes prone

- i can see my collar bone now

- ability to cross my legs when I want to

- putting on my socks and sneakers with ease

- shopping for clothing is amazing, I can actually say I enjoy it now

- best of all is meeting new people at the seminars I attend, theyre all awesome and all you guys here are truly amazing<<< this for me is the best of all!

brol1k (hope that's correct) you are kickin' supreme A** with the sleeve. Do what you do homie and keep that up!!

I most enjoy the attention that people are giving me. The WOW factor, and I am only half way there. Going to a resturant and telling the hostess it doesn't matter when she ask table or booth!! Having to get clothes every three to four weeks. Making it to 90 pounds in less than 90 days! Feeling great! Knowing that I can go anywhere and do anything!!! No more avoiding things!!!! I LOVE IT ALL!!!!!!!

I forgot a couple. I look forward to going to the gym every morning. My feet tell me thankyou everyday!! Watching the biggest loser and not crying because it makes me miserable that I can't do what they are doing!! I play golf without feeling wore out at the end of a round(I can probably play 36 holes now)!!!
