Having sex with them light on and walking around naked at home without being self conscious.

My husband would be doing me all day if I walk around nude all day.

Mines all ready tries but at least soon enough I'll let him

Wow you have more stamina than I have! Once a day would have to be enough for my hubby

Were both gonna have more stamina once we get in better shape.

Good ones! I also forgot a big one: Fit in a airplane seat comfortably as possible!

Looks like your getting close to your surgery, when do you think it will be?

I'm thinking May 30th :) I am getting really excited. Once the psych eval is done we'll be submitting to insurance.

I haven't been on an airplane in years and have been terrified of doing so. Soon I won't have to worry anymore about all these things that most people don't give a second thought! Have you already had your surgery?

I fly from Little Rock to Miami in June, hope to be about 20 more down and fit decently and not have the person next to me be avoiding my over flowing flab!

May 3rd for me.. I am so excited, nervous, anxious...excited. Kinda all over the place. I started this process last July, so it has been a long time coming.. Wishing you a speedy process through your eval. and insurance!
