I interrupted my bath to write you this post!

I am exactly 1 week from surgery and I have been making a list of goals and rewards; like ... tying my shoes straight and not at the side because I can't been over to tie them correctly. You know what I mean; I got that sideways bow that looks as if someone standing next to me tied my shoes!

Well, It wasn't until just now that I realized that I have yet another goal I want to achieve after WLS: I want to take a bath and have my WHOLE body under Water at the same time. No more visions of my stomach sticking out of the water like Gilligan's Island!

Well, I hope this put a smile on someone's face today. It made me chuckle thinking about the little things that are going to means so much!

I could go on but I'd rather hear your goals too. Please share.

I had no idea that my sideways bows on my shoes were because I can't lean properly!!! Omg I can't believe I never realized this.

I want to improve my spinal stenosis and be able to walk without pain. To be able to just walk 500 feet. Then imagine a mile.
