Here is a great WOW moment: Yesterday, I went shopping, and had the reverse happen: MOST OF THE CLOTHES WERE TOO BIG FOR ME!!! I am now officially a size 4, and a size S... instead of size 4XL and or 30/32 In addition, my wedding ring went in for sizing...finally. My old size was a size 10. The new size....size 5 1/2 !!!!!!!!!!! I USED TO WEIGH 327 POUNDS.... Thank goodness for this surgery. I now weigh 120 pounds! My old BMI was 56. Currently, it is 21. I am eternally grateful! Now, that's reason for yelling WOW!

Hi Michelle! I have noticed this winter that i am cold most of the time, with my hands and feet being exceptionally cold. Yesterday i was outside with coat AND gloves and when i got inside and took my gloves off it felt like i had frost bite! Even right now, in my toasty warm house, my fingers and toes are very cold! I hope we both warm up soon!! Rachel 270/144

Michelle, It might be worth checking with your doctor. I do get colder than before. My hands and my feet can feel like ice cubes at times. Mary

Isn't it great!!!!! Congratulations. Mary

Mary - That's a great "Wow" moment. I am so happy for everyone. I've had two "WOW" moments. The first one happened recently when a friend and I were at a party and the only seat available was a flimsy, collapsable chair. I hesistated and stood, not taking the chair. My friend --reading my mind -- said, "Lynn, you're one of my SMALL friends now. You're not going to break the chair." It was such a revelation to me. The other WOW moment happened at the same party. I greeted an acquaintance that I hadn't seen in about a year. She was polite, but blew me off. Five minutes later -- after asking who I was -- she came running up to me apologizing and saying, "I didn't recognize you! You look great!" It was a lot of fun. Thanks for such a great post... ~Lynn
