WOW Moment

Hey guys! I have 3 WOW moments to share with you guys! I went about two weeks without weighing myself and recently joined my partner at her doctors visit and decided to step on the scale. I was FLOORED!! I was down to 203 - 4 POUNDS from ONDERLAND!! I couldn't contain my excitement! I only have 53 lbs to goal and I am over the halfway mark! Holy Cow!! Then, I went shopping and ALL the 18s fit! (for a while it was only the ones that ran big)I am wearing size XL shirts too! Not 1X, 2X or 3X!! How freakin' great is that! I can now begin to shop at Old Navy again and some of the "regular" stores and I am beyond excited about that!! Lastly, my partner told me today how great I look and that even if I didn't lose one more pound, I look fantastic! Holy Crap! Really???? That was such a wonderful thing to hear! I am blessed ot have such a supportive family! I just wanted to share with you guys! I cannot express how grateful I am for this surgery and the new life it has afforded me. It is like I get a second chance at life! Let's here your WOW moments & celebrate together!! ((Hugs)) & Shelley J.

Ive had similar moments. I just hit 209 and like you am SOOOO looking forward to when that scale says 1-something! I am down 54 and am wearing some 14's - WOW, that was huge. I was in a 22 pre-op. I have done some shopping at Old Navy, and other regular (aka: not big girl) stores and it feels good. I also bought a new bathing suit and when I tried it on, I didnt cry or gag - that was nice. AND I am willing to wear it in public, without a shirt over it. These little things are really adding up to make me feel better about myself than I ever have. Keep up the good work. Its nice to hear about other people's moments too. Michelle

That is completely awsome!!! I too am just moments away from onederland! I cannot wait ! I'm sure you can't either... It is so nice to have the support of your family, I too have the support of my family and I don't know what I would do without them! Here's to more WOW moments headed your way! Hopefully the next one will be you posting you've made it to onederland! Brooke 265/200.5/130 surg/now/goal
