I've just had my first bath since surgery and the water squeezed past my thighs and all round the back without me doing the flipper (dolphin) flip....

How lovely when i topped up not to have to flip to swirl the water.....

[StephieAck]

I am soooooooo thrilled that you are experiencing these things, so many people see these things as every day events and do see how great these things are. Eight months down the line and I still have a little giggle to myself when I cross my legs comfortably and can move around comfortably in the bath hehe
Thrilled for you honey xx

As others have said its all the little things that make such a difference! Well done

wait until you can lean forward and turn the taps on for more hot water, or pull the plug out without having to get off your bum! Doing side buckles on your shoes is another one of many! Well done Julie, you are doing fab.

A few month from now and you well have to watch the plug hole and where you stand
Well done Hope you are feeling ok

It's such a great feeling isn't it! I actually painted my toe nails this weekend for the first time in years!!

Hehe, I know exactly what you mean by dolphin flip. Fab!

Bryan, i could never see me going down the plug hole lol but it's a very lovely thought

You are all so very right! It's great to see the numbers going down but it's little things that change our lives and if we blink we might miss them....

People without a weight problem don't realise the joys of being able to bend down and pick up something off the floor without feeling like your innards are coming up through your chest feels like..

 

[SCOOBYDOOBYDOO]

Julie, you describe things so well. I think many of us know exactly what you mean by the dolphin flip!
Well done hun x

 

[Pookiedoodle]

Oh I love posts like this one.

There are so many things that normal sized people take for granted that they have always been able to do, yet for us it's a massive milestone.

I bet it was a fantastic feeling Julie, get used to it, there's lots more to come.
