------I can bend over to put on my socks and shoes without thinking i'm going to pass out from lack
of oxygen.
------Clothes that were hanging in my closet for years (thank God I didn't get rid of
them) now fit again!!!
------I gave 2 big bags of clothes away to some people that just got banded and
really needed the larger sized clothes while they were losing!
------I am losing all my x's!! My shirts now only have 1 X on them and one doesn't have any X's
on it!!! There use to be 3 or 4 X's! I keep thinking about that song...."All my X's live in Texas"
------I FIT IN BOOTHS IN RESTAURANTS!!! I can't eat most food in a restaurant but I can at least
sit in a booth.
------I no longer have a built in table around my stomach. I use to use my big ol' stomach to rest
my plate on when sitting in front of tv. I now have to use a real table!!!
------Here is a big on for me. I CAN TAKE ABOUT 10 STEPS WITHOUT MY CRUTCHES OR WALKER!!!!
------The other day when I went outside I ZIPPED MY JACKET!! Just like that, without even a second
thought. ZZZZZIP up it went. Then it hit me, OMG I Zipped! My! Jacket!!!!! No wiggling, no struggling no thought!
------I put the seat up in my car. I no longer have to use my big toe to push on the gas or break.
(thank God for power brakes) I also fit under the steering wheel. It doesn't rub on my stomach any longer!!
The seat belt is SO much more comfortable now! So many times I couldn't use a seat belt in
back seats because they were to small. They all fit just fine now, thank you very much!!
------Here is an embarrissing one, but a great one. I can make it to the bathroom without having
an accident. I use to have to wear pads everyday for fear of weting myself. NO MORE!! No more pills for urinary urgency!!!
