Name 1 thing you can do now, that you couldn't do pre-op

[Pookiedoodle]

For me, it has to be that I'm so much more flexible, I can sit in positions that I couldn't sit in for years. I can cross my legs comfortably, sit on the floor with my legs crossed, or knees up to my chest - and I can get up of the floor again too!!! :8855:

Ok, who's next?

 

[Sambucca]

Great idea for a thread...

Now I can leave food on my plate, without feeling guilty, or trying to shovel it in to "save waste".

I have to admit that did take some time to get used to that though.

That's something I still struggle with Sambucca, I hate waste & it drives me crazy having to throw my food away all the time, hopefully I'll get used to it one day.

this is more than one but; I don't need a seat belt extension on an aeroplane and I dont have to shop in Evans and has anyone else noticed that their bath is definitely much bigger

 

[Pookiedoodle]

I haven't been in Evans in months, & plan to NEVER EVER go there again!!!!!

I do still shop in Evans, but am a size 14 now and only continue to shop there as they always have tonnes of stuff on the sale rail in size 14. Last time I went in I got 3 tops, all size 14 and it cost £13 in total!

I think its natural that for most of us, as soon as we are in size 16 or below we vow never to set foot in there again as the big wide world of shopping opens up to us, but if you are a size 14, dont rule out Evans next time you are shopping. You might find some bargains.

I'm with you on this! I will never ever set foot in the place. After the longest time where I couldn't really shop anywhere else I'm just not going back.

 

[Pookiedoodle]

Sorry Sam, I'm with Porpo on this one, lol.

After being limited to only Evans for years, I vowed never to set foot in the place again once I could get clothes from 'normal' shops.

I can't say I miss it, haha.

Walk between 3 and 5 miles a day

 

[candie]

I can go out at night, and not feel self conscious about getting any fat comments
Like Sam I also trawl through the sales rails in EVANS, even though I can shop anywhere now

As I am only 5 weeks post op for me at the moment it is not having the arms of a cinema chair cut into my thighs.

 

[tiarasandtantrums]

Walk without a walking stick! xx

 

[gaelic girl]

In general the confidence to do anything i want to without worrying about " the fat risk assesment" beforehand that ruled my life pre op x

 

[galm37]

I can now paint & remove my toe nail polish without getting a stitch in my side from bending over!

 

[Mixman]

Just 1? Crikey! I have soooooooo many!!!

Are we allowed rude ones

 

[Brunetteandred]

I agree with Mixman!

Cut my toenails, do up the lap strap on an aircraft seat , get up from a garden chair without taking it with me (having it wedged around my lardy ar*e was so not a good look... or feeling), wear decent shoes, run... the list goes on.
