what "little" things are you looking forward to post-surgery?

[artisticmindRN 13]

What are the "little," somewhat trivial, things that you look forward to once thinner?

-Being able to lean in to my washing machine and reach clothes straight on versus having to have my side against it to reach to the bottom or use a steps tool.

-Being able to lean over the bathroom counter to get a drink of Water to swish wash my mouth out post-brushing/mouthwash (i'm too cheap to use cups LOL).

-Tucking my legs in better when at the movies/sporting events where people can pass by easier.
