Who had a WOW moment(s) this week?

Who had a WOW moment(s) this week? We love to hear from you so, come on out and share. Whether you are pre-op, post-o*****n-op we all love to hear the WOW moment(s) and applaud you on your success. My WOW moment this week was seeing a lady I work with. She told me I was out of control. She said, "When I grow up, I wanna be just like you." I thought that was very nice as she is not overweight. That just made my day. I had several this week but, this one in particular sticks out in my head. So, what was your WOW moment(s) this week? Gina (half way to goal)

I'm sitting here in size XL sweatpants and sweater. Real and regular XL, not 3X or 26/28W! Amazing after only 20 weeks since WLS!!

Hello Gina, My Wow moment was when I went to my surgeon's support group meeting on Friday and my surgeon had to do a second look he did not recongize me, and he gave me a big hug! that felt so awesome! I guess I have another one , I walked 4 blockes to the shopping mall from the bus station and then took a break and went shopping thru the mall for 3 hours with my gf. I surprised myself and her. Life is getting to be so much more enjoyable since WLS. Tom I am losing about a pound a week -120 lbs.

My husband said that I was developing really nice legs!! I was so happy!

I had another WOW moment yesterday. I placed an order from Old Navy and was able to fit into size 12 pants!!! I figured out that it's been 9 years since I was that size. So now I'm down four pants sizes, two bra band sizes and three bra cups sizes!! It's been a good week!!

I had two WOW moments this week. 1. I went to the movies w/ my best friend and didn't have to put the arm rest up. I've been able to do that before, but never comfortably... this time, I was COMFORTABLE!!! YAY 2. Going to an engagement party for a guy I've known for 15 years, and he took time out of running around being host to tell me how proud he is of me and how amazing I am His mom never saw me anywere near my heaviest and even she commented on how I look I love wow moments!

My wow moments are the following. A lady that knows me and sees me a couple of times a week walked by me at Walmart looked at me and kept walking. In a few minutes I walked to her and she said was that you over on that other side. She couldn't believe it was me. Also my doctor came in and asked my husband who this woman was he had with him Another wow moment is I am 100 pounds lost as of today. YIPPEEEEE!!!!! I love this feeling now if I could lose the other weight I will be very proud! Christy

I had a wonderful WOW moment yesterday. I have a digital scale in my house, but NEVER been able to use it because my weight was too high. it always gave me an error message readout. well i keep trying every so often, waiting for the day it will actually give me my weight. Last night, i stepped on the scale not expecting any miracles, but OMG it told me what I weighed. im down to 325lbs...YEAHHHHHHHH. thats 95 lbs since surgery. I am soooo happy. congrats to all of you on your wonderful weight loss stories and i love reading your wow moments...and even love reading when your having troubles because it really helps me out. keep up the good work.

Congratulations to everyone on their WOW moment. Isn't this great?? My WOW moment was yesterday. I found the pants I wore to the seminar for wls. I decided I would try them on to see how big they are now. They were so large I can get ALL of me in one leg now. I was soooooo excited! I've lost 95 pounds since surgery and 145 total!!! Hugs to all! Teresa

OMG!!! Funny you should ask! Just 10 minutes ago my daughter came home from shopping at Old Navy and had bought size 12 cords. Just by accident, I asked her if I could try them on, and they FIT!! Couldn't believe it! I've gone from 2X pants/shirts to 12 pants and ladies L/M shirts. Last May (04) I weighed 263 lbs. (at 5'2") and on the day of my surgery (4/28/05) I weighed 234 lbs. Today I weigh 185 and am starting to feel so good about myself. It's been so long since I've had any self-confidence about myself. I'm off 3 medications (all weight related health issues) and last Monday was cut from 320 MG of Diovan (high blood pressure med) to 80 MG. This was the right decision for me and I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to start a "new", healthy life at 47. Thanks for asking about our WOW moments. Hugs, Susan
