TOP 3 THINGS...

[mysleevemylife 158]

Hello all! What are the TOP 3 THINGS that you've "reeped", experienced, enjoyed, after your WLS that you DID NOT even think about pre-op?

For example, you may say for #1 that "I can now bend my legs behind my head & I never thought I'd want to do that". (I couldn't think of a better example, sorry! lol!)

The challenge here will be to only list 3 things, but if you just can't hold it in...go for it & list away! I can't wait to see what the responses will be. :-)

I decided to help coach my daughters softball team- I would have NEVER done that at my pre-op weight. I love being able to help her and not be winded and embarassed.

1. No longer have to wear poise pads

2. Feel full with so little food even when I am so hungry

3. Keep up with my friend when walking

[Sassygirl06 962]

1) no longer have to cross my legs when I sneeze or cough!

2) I can have sex in any position instead of just doggy.

3) I get hit on again by men ( sometimes even women )

Sorry for tmi....but it's the truth!

1) Freedom from the drive for food

2) I can squat without feeling like my eyeballs are going to fly out of my head

3) Tons more energy

1) There's extra room to move and cross my legs in the movie theatre seats.

2) Planning a parasailing adventure on spring break in a few weeks. Never dreamed that would happen.

3) I enjoy taking long hot baths again, now that my hips aren't hugging the sides of the tub.

These are just the top 3 things I noticed today...because almost everyday I realize additional perks I never dreamed of.

1. Today my husband said my size 10 "skinny" jeans look way to big! I never thought I'd wear skinny jeans in the first place!

2. When I was rolling around sweating on my purple mat doing (yes actually doing) p90X today I noticed I have really nice knees.

3. That I can do this again tomorrow and have the power and the tools to sustain all the yummy thoughts and feelings I felt today!

Okay so #3 is pretty much a constant for the last 7 months... I Love My Sleeve!

1. I love the fact that im comfortable tucking in shirts again

2. I love that i don't think about food 24/7

3. I love that I'm in size 6 jeans this weekend

I love this surgery!

That is so precious. It brought tears to my eyes.
