Some Thoughts

Been thinking alot lately on what the past year or so has meant in my life here in 13 days I come up to my year mark on the surgery and as it has bee na while since I have done strictly band related post decided it was time for one so here goes...

What are some of the cool things that I have noticed changed/ing in the past year or so....
I can move my car seat to a more comfortable position because the seat belt fits me better
I can walk upstairs and talk on the phone at the same time and not be winded
heck I can walk upstairs and not be winded!
Clothes shopping really is FUN!
Dancing for hours is not only fun but I can do it!
walking no matter the weather is great fun! Actually it is even more fun in a sudden shower
Going to a public restroom doesn't scare me anymore I can fit in whatever stall is out there!
Boothes in Restuarants are fine now.
I have a neck! and collar bones! and ribs are starting to appear...
I CAN do it!

Things I miss about my past life...
Not much and really this should be titled FOODS I miss
Pizza bread are biggest ones I miss still but for a long while I really missed Chicken but not anymore. Sodas, I do occassionally indulge this one but not often. Pie and cake I miss too though depending on the type and dryness of it I can do a little every now and then it just normally isn't worth testing it to see. cereal with milk

things I don't miss
100+ pounds
Trying on a million things that don't fit and look horrible if they do
ankel/foot pain
back pain
tables at restuarants
worrying if I will fit or break something due to my size
lack of energy

Part 2 on this tomorrow...there is more but the hour is late...
