 How about
Not being able to shave your legs properly because you can't reach or get winded. 

Scared of getting stuck in the MRI machine while it is burning your skin   Oh wow do many of these bring back memories!!

Having your husband return the oversized "BIG GUY" lawn chair to Superstore because it broke under your weight and you were to embarrassed to return it yourself.

Asking the lifeguard at the YMCA what the weight restriction on the diving board is because you're afraid you'll break it.

 having to tell your kids that you can't swing with them at the park, because your a$$ doesn't fit on a swing

not being able to trampoline with your kids because you might break it

Being terrified of missing grad because the looks you get are almost enough to make you stay indoors

Your flower gardens going to weed because you can no longer get down to take care of them

Seeing the cutest shirt you have ever seen and having to put it back because it doesn't come in size I am a fatty

 Oh yeah!  We've come a long way baby!  As Erica said, it's good to look back and remember so that we don't ever end up there again.

I keep a pre-op picture in my purse just in case I need a reminder to continue to make smart, healthy choices.

It truly is an amazing journey and I wish everyone awaiting surgery and may still be dealing with some of these issues know that there truly is a light at the end of the tunnel.  You too can have your life back.
