WOW Moments!
November 12, 2012WOW moments! Congratulations to each of these amazing OH members who have shared some of their favorite WOW moments with us. You have worked so hard to lose and maintain your weight loss. You deserve these Wow moments and many more in the years to come. We’re so proud of you!
I expect to have many Wow moments over the next couple years. My Wow moment happened on July 1st when I was approved for the surgery and realized, Wow, this is really happening in just a couple of weeks.–Alana
I’ve had many Wow moments along the way, but one does stand out. About a
year ago, I was sitting in an audience holding some papers. When it was time to applaud I set my papers down so I could clap. I looked down and noticed I’d put my papers IN MY LAP and suddenly realized I HAVE A LAP! My eyes popped open and I grinned from ear to ear. It’s been a long time since I was able to put anything in my lap!–Meredith Inserra
The first Wow moment was a shared victory. For years, when hugging my husband, I wasn’t able to even touch my fingers behind his back. (We were both morbidly obese.) The first tearful Wow moment was when I was able to actually TOUCH my fingers together while hugging him. That became (and still is) a way for us to measure the pounds/inches lost. (We both had RNY in April 09.) I love the feeling of being able to wrap my arms ALL the way around him now – and to have his all the way around me!-Paula Johnson
I was sitting with my family last weekend and my daughter said to me “Wow Mom, you are sitting cross-legged!” I haven’t been able to do that in YEARS! –aimee14580
