What are the things you took for granted pre op that you now find difficult to do?
I laughed (painfully  ) today with my hubby at the fact that he was able to sit up straight on our bed with the computer in his lap.. So easy to do pre op yet I wondered how long it will be till I can do that painlessly again..
My little list I took for granted:
Brushing teeth.. Now swelly belly jiggles while I brush
Stairs.. Obvious
Toilet.. Had to buy a seat raiser
Putting on my bathrobe.. It is amazing just how many stomach muscles we actually use daily
Showering.. A 45 minute date with the hubby helping
Post your list sisters

I was just thinking that I used to be able to make it through the day without a nap. Now there is not a day that goes by that I am not taking a huge nap in the evening. I couldn't stay awake if I wanted to.
