CJ_Redux 137 Posted June 14, 2012 Awesome list. The only thing i'll add: having to shift my weight from one hip to the next (in order to give my knees a break) when standing for any amount of time. 6 Beanzilla, babygirl_sandy, justmeandmysleeve and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StrangelyNormal 182 Posted June 14, 2012 Omg....especially the part about being smothered by your boobs. I swear it is like that for me in every single way but the boob smothering is my #1. I dread lying down for bed every single night BC of that 1 justmeandmysleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Addison 13 Posted June 14, 2012 Funny, sad, but true!!! I am printing this list and placing on my mirror. Having my wls on June 29th. Getting very excited.....and staying calm about it because the benefits out weigh the risks!!!!! 2 tonibugg and justmeandmysleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterthebean 8,146 Posted June 14, 2012 I've had more than one "shallow Hal" moment with cheap lawn furniture, sometimes not so cheap furniture....I won't miss that. I've already noticed the "going to the bathroom" part is easier after losing 50 pounds. Not so much the going, but the .....uh....cleaning afterward. 7 kmbrlycool, CJ_Redux, justmeandmysleeve and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thehappycat 91 Posted June 14, 2012 I am totally with you! About two years ago we went to the amusement park where my parents live and I couldn't fit on my favorite roller coaster. I was so embarrassed. That is definitely going to be a non-scale victory for me when I start losing weight. 2 tonibugg and justmeandmysleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillowsKnot 71 Posted June 14, 2012 Yup, I no longer am smothered by my boobs. Down 78 pounds since I had my first pre-op visit. Down 41 since April 9. Surgery was so worth it. Best of luck to all of you. See you on the losers bench!!! 1 justmeandmysleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
