After having surgery, what was the one or even many things you accomplished or did, that you couldn't do being your heaviest?\

Example, a friend of mine is so excited that she can cross her legs without any trouble.

Only 1 thing?!?!?  5 months post-op I was able to go kayaking.

BTW, I ALWAYS cross my legs now!  Never could do that before!

I can't wait to wear heels.....I love shoes.

I also want to fit into my old cheerleading uniform from high school. I have a cheer reunion in the fall.

ONE thing?!?  Seriously?  I couldn't possibly just identify only one thing unless you wanted the first thing that came to mind (in which case, the answer would be "wear high heels".. even though I actually do it fairly rarely because of my knees).  The other things that immediately pop into my head without having to even think about it are being able to touch my toes, put shoes on without sitting on the couch with my leg up on it, fit in any chair or booth, walk up a flight of stairs without being winded, and ride amusement park rides.

If I thought about it, there are HUNDREDS of things...
