Often the simplest things make me glad I had WLS.

Feb 20, 2011

This past weekend, my wife and I went to movie.  I couldn't fit into the seat two years ago.
I went shopping at five different stores.  I could barely go to two stores without being exhausted two years ago.
I rode my bicycle fifty miles over the past few days.  The spokes would have been crushed when I weighed 500 pounds.

But I'm getting used to doing those things. I love to do all that.. But sometimes I even forget that my weight loss surgery really helped get me to where I am today.

Do you know what reminded me to be grateful  for my weight loss?

I was getting ready to shower this morning and slipped my briefs off and let them fall to the bathroom floor.
Then i grabbed them with my toes and flipped the underwear into the air and caught them in my hand.

I smiled to myself remembering that I could barely lift my leg up to get into the bathtub, much less use that leg to flip my underwear into the air.

Silly huh?
