glitter eyes 1,398 Posted October 16, 2015 I went zip-lining today and loved it!! It was a blast. There was also an ariel obstacle course which was super challenging but fun too!! It is so amazing to do things now without all my weight holding me back. I have been setting mini non weight related goals and zip lining was one of mine!! Every time I do something out of my comfort zone I am amazed at the freedom this surgery has given me!!! Then to top the day off I had a wonderful dinner with friends and family, then a trip to Ulta, Sephora, and Bare Minerals- scored some free stuff!! It was my birthday and it was oh so happy!! What else has everyone else done that they never thought they would do prior to surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glitter eyes 1,398 Posted October 16, 2015 @elode- I had a birthday email from those stores. Got a free bare minerals eyeliner, a free lipgloss, and a nars lip pencil. But those stores are money sucking pits... Of course I had to slip I some eyeshadow and more nail polish in too. Had to pay for those. I am a product junkie.

pink dahlia 2,513 Posted October 16, 2015 1-Happy birthday ! 2- Zip lining AND free stuff at the makeup stores ? Next time count me in ! And what have I done after surgery versus before surgery ? Where do I start ? Ran 2 miles without stopping, walked ( and played !) an 18 hole golf course almost the whole way. Push ups ! Pilates classes. And in the next year or 2 ? A 3 day pack trip on horses, up and down a mountain. Bucket list !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheProfessor 378 Posted October 16, 2015 I love being able to effortlessly get up after sitting on the floor having a discussion with my students. What else... I love being able to paint my toes! What else... buying clothes at regular stores rather than plus size stores. What a thrill! Oh... Being able to walk down the aisle of an airplane without having to turn sideways. Feel like Twiggy over here and I'm "only" 64 pounds down...! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
