One little thing I look forward to is being able to sit down on the floor or crossing my legs without my feet falling asleep within 2 minutes.

What are some little things you look forward to after the weight is gone?

I'm just twelve weeks post-surgery but I am looking forward to going to a restaurant and not having to worry ahead of time what the seating arrangements will be. I think that I could comfortably fit in a booth now but I've been hesitant to try. Gotta sneak a booth trial in soon.

My surgery isn't until June 30th...but I can't wait to have all of the energy everyone talks about and not be so tired all of the time. I'm not sure if I've ever told anyone, but I've always wanted to wear the little black dress..without the spanx. There are so many things I want to accomplish.

I agree with all the comments. Here are just a few things, I look forward to. I want to feel comfortable getting my picture taken. Not shying away or getting out of the picture. Not having to buy Plus Size clothes. Oh the booth, I can relate. Also, being able to sit comfortably in a seat on an airplane. Feeling confident in a swimsuit in front of the public. Not having anxiety, when getting on the scale, at a doctors appointment. Oh, I could go on.

I can identify with every comment in this thread! I am nearing the end of my 4th month after surgery. Have lost 37 lbs including the prep week. Have lost a total of 100 lbs when including on my own before surgery. Here are the things I have been experiencing and loving! I can fasten the car seatbelt without moving by hips over or lifting my thigh to find the clasp! I can fly coach without asking for an extension belt or worrying that I'm crowding the person sitting next to me! I can ride a bike again! My husband can get his arms all the way around me! I have to keep sewing bigger seams in my clothes to make them fit. I can find clothes to fit me in the stores and in the regular sizes, not having to order the plus sizes from the BIG catalogs. When I sit next to someone, I'm no longer higher than they are-I'm actually sitting lower than they -not sitting on so much bulky fat! (However, I do feel those sits bones on the hard chairs. - That's a new feeling!) No swollen ankles when I'm on my feet a lot. In fact, my feet, ankles, fingers, hands and wrists are considerably smaller! Going from a pant size of 28-30 to now 16-18 is so totally a high! I'm so happy! And look forward to getting to 12-14s! Sorry, going on and on.......you can tell I'm loving my "little things" because they truly are BIG things!

I'm coming up on my 4 year surgiversary, but I still remember the moment on a date when I looked down at my legs only to realize I was sitting there with them crossed effortlessly AT THE KNEE!!!...in the passenger seat of a Prius!!
Side note: ended up marrying my date, and years later the memory of that simple act floods back to me every time I get into that Prius to go for a ride with my husband

Couple of the little things I'm looking forward to.
I travel for work weekly not having to worry about airplane seats and being squat next to someone, being able to Walt in a beach with my **** off and not feel uncomfortable ( or feel like everyone is staring at me) and being able to wear a suit 41 years old and never worn a suit
