Here's some things I'm looking forward to after surgery. Please add yours too!

• Buying clothes that don't have an X or W in the size
  
• Not stressing about seatbelts on airplanes
  
• Crossing my legs!!
  
• Buying cute bras and matching panties
  
• Not struggling to get socks and undies on
  
• Working out at gym like i used to
  
• Participating in 5K (or more) again
  
• Not huffing and puffing from car to work
  
• Seeing my neck again
  
• Painting my own toenails (well I do like a good pedi but to have the option to do it myself would be nice)
  
• No longer unintentionally knocking things off the table, etc. with my butt
  
• Feeling good!
  

All of the above plus...

Not having to worry about fitting in booths

Being able to have a laptop on my lap

Being able to comfortably move down aisles in an airplane

Weighing less than my husband!

Getting rid of some of my joint pain

those are two very good lists

i will add to those

hold my grandchildren on my lap (you know the one that doesn't see, to be there right now)

carry my youngest grandchild more than a couple of feet without having to put him down.

taking a nice long walk and enjoying it

have motivation to paint again

accept more invitations to things instead of being such a homebody.

Riding the Slush Cup race with my daughter

Wearing a pencil skirt with knee high boots

Running my first 5k

Going out in public in a bathing suit

Rollar coaster.

Water park rides.

tights or nylons NOT from Lane Giant.

anything BUT fragrances from Victoria Secret.

boots.

a belt.

i dream of a columbia jacket size “L"

wearing my husbands sweatshirt and having it too big

wearing a pair of stilettos and not looking like a beer keg on stilts.

LOL I know exactly what you mean!!

"Lane Giant"

I love it! LOL

All of the above ladies, plus the not getting overlooked at an interview even though I have better credentials.

Ugg boots that fit my calf

Northface coat

heck a winter coat for that matter

A necklace 18"

Whoohoooo. I did not really comprehend how far I've come until I realized I have or can do almost everything on the above lists, except cute bras and panties and the 5 K run! Wow. I remember posting on what I wanted on a post just like this, wondering at the time if it would ever happen! Here it is 5 months later and just wow! I should go find they list and see how I'm doing.

I look forward to being able to carry my daughter without my ankles giving out. She has CP and cannot walk. I have fallen with her in my arms 3 times due to my ankles or a knee giving out. Thankfully she has never been hurt. She is only 34lbs and I worry about what I will do when she gets older and heavier.

And all of the above that everyone else wrote.

Oh and not looking weird in lingerie with thigh high hose!!!

"Oh and not looking weird in lingerie with thigh high hose!!! "

for the record - even the tiny girls look like sausages stuffed into thigh highs - the secret is getting a large enough size - they sell those at Torrid and I’ve been known to put a size 6 in a 2x torrid thigh high.

I still need to do it standing up. Buy cute bra. Everything else thanks god I manage to do.

I agree but I got a big booty naturally so that won't change. I wanna add getting on roller coasters..... and I just don't like having huge arms and a big belly.

ooooo i keep thinking of more -

a thong - and not the kind that you wonder why the hell did that girl just wear a triangle in the front....

Wearing a cute dress and heels! Without the dress looking like a moo moo
