Any new WoW moments going on?
Well I havent had any wow moments since I am trying to get out of this plateau, but you all are the reason that I am still trekking along.
You all are so great, and supportive that it makes me try even harder lose it. I have tried to mix up my exercising so maybe that will help the slump that I am in.
I am just so grateful for God for making this wls an option so that I can lose the weight and I am grateful for how great I feel and look so much better than I have since 1990.
Thanks everyone for being there for me when I need you the most.

I have wow moments everyday and I have a hard time accepting them sometimes... My DH tells me how beautiful I am... he buys me little gifts.. he seems so much sweeter to me then he was a year ago.... is that because I'm a happier person??
My DD's both tell me how proud they are of me.. and my youngest tells me to stop taking her clothes...LOL!
I coach a high school equestrian team and have had several parents think that I'm one of the athletes instead of the adult out in the arena. I'm having so much fun riding my horse, my horse is liking it better too
Life is so much better after WLS.

My husband and I participate in a history recreation group. We went to a big event on Saturday, and at the end of the night one of my friends came up to me and apologized for not speaking with me during the day. I wear a type of crown, and he said he saw me from across the room and wondered why a strange woman was wearing Linda's crown!
At another event a few weeks ago, a friend's SO asked her who the woman was that she was speaking with at the event. "You know, the one that sort of looked like Linda, if Linda lost 100 pounds."
Congrats Sue I can see veins too.. and I'm truly amazed lol especially in my hands.
My latest wow moment... this past saturday, there was a local support group meeting in the surgeon's office. I thought I might as well see what the scale says so I can be prepared for my upcoming year surgiversary check up on Thursday. So... I stepped on the scale.. and it said 196.7!!!! I screamed and squeeled and jumped and clapped and just about cried... I finally made it to ONDERLAND!! From 366 to 196... big WOW!
I'm elated and still am lol

My WOW moment is that FINALLY in the past month I am tolerating protein suppliments!! This is a huge deal for me as I have tried tons of different protein samples and never could drink them, my husband drank them and I would gag or vimit seeing him drinking them! UGH! It has been a tough year trying to get enough protein in and hoping for the best...but now I am actually looking forward to my morning proteins. I love vanilla mice milk, Matrix cookies and cream, nectar cappuccino latte and extreme smoothie RTD prailine scream! I usually add them to my coffee as a warm drink, but it is surely doing the trick! I now do protein drinks as my breakfast
BIG WOW FOR ME

WOW look at all these wonderful wow moments! We're all doing great!
My most recent WOW moments were at a party I had to go to on Saturday with my Husband. One of his friends said to my Husband, "Your wife is looking hot!" . Another of his friends said to me, "Oh my gosh what are you now like a size 8?" I'm not, I'm a 14 or 16. A lot of people told me how nice I looked and one girl said, "Wow, you're beautiful" which made me feel good.
I'm still dying to get into onderland, at 210 lbs down from 333. Congratulations those that made it to onderland. I would jump up and down and scream too!
