Any new WoW moments going on?
I went to my PCP on Sat. for routine blood work and to have him document my rash for the PS down the road. He came into the office and said, I almost don't even recognize you any more! One of his assistants did my vitals and drew the blood first before I saw the good doctor. She tapped my vein and I said, should I make a fist? She said, no, I can find your veins, you have good veins. Well, in actuality, that was probably the first time I've ever heard that in the last 30 years. I could see my veins too, but I've always had problems having my blood drawn, so it was really a WOW moment for me.
Then last night, my husband said to me, you shouldn't lose any more weight. You are getting too skinny. I laughed and told him that I am 165, I am hardly skinny, but to be honest, I think this is the thinnest that he's ever seen me and for most of my married life, I have been plus and ultra plus size. So it's kind of ironic to be told that I shouldn't lose any more weight.
How's everyone else doing?
Take care,

My latest wow moment was being able to get new jeans in a size 12. I can't remember when I last wore that size, probably before the 9th grade because I remember I wore a size 14 then. It is so much more fun trying on clothes now. I don't have to worry about things being to small or going to a woman's specialty shop. I can shop in all the regular stores.
See my pcp on Wednesday, haven't seen her in 6 months, so I anxious to see what she says about everything. See the surgeon for my 1 year visit April 2.

Just tonight when I got home from work my hubby put his arms around me and said wow I can get my arms around you right to the elbows and that is a side ways hug not a front on hug (if it makes a diff). He can reach his elbows now when before I'm not sure he could touch his hands together. And for some reason today at work people were telling me that I'm fading away. I haven't lost in a while must have been the new shirt
