Not worrying about fitting into chairs

Not worrying if the toilets are too low or if there's a rail

Not being stared at

Walking long distances

Going to the beach freely

Walking up a flight of stairs or 2 quickly

Being free of pain

Flying and traveling

Doing different things with my children

No more shopping in the plus size department.

Feeling confident.

People staring at me for a good reason!

Shocking people at my 20 year class reunion!

SHOPPING! (And enjoying it. And not for jewelry and shoes - because they don't depend on my size.)

Working out without pain.

Wearing shorts.

Feeling like people are seeing ME and not my weight.

Not having to rush past all mirrors for the fear of accidentally seeing myself and being horrified.

Pretty much all of what nrdgrl said. And I will add:

Hiking and running with my husband.

Going out to eat and not feeling judged.

Reducing the risk of heart problems (runs in the family).

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
