Wow Moments

First of all I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Jeni and I'm married to a wondeful man and have two great boys. They are very supportive of my decision to have wls and they help me out with everything. As for my wow moments I have to say that I started out wearing a size 36/38 w pants from Catherines and now I'm happy to report that I can wear a size 26 comfortably and can button and zip a size 24, not the most appealing but soon enough they will look nice. I also tried on some shirts today and I'm down from a size 34/36 to a 22/24. I'm so proud of myself. I tried on my old pants and they just fell to the floor, what a wonderful feeling. I started out at 382 and I'm down to 290. I have a family reunion in October and can't wait to see what size I will be into then....woo hoo! Intimacy is also much better with the extra weight gone. I can also sit in the movie theatre seats much better. It's so nice to be able to go to any theatre you want. I used to only be able to go to the movies that had the arm rests that would go up. It's just so amazing. I just thought I would share this with all of you. Take Care and Good luck to everyone in their weight loss journeys. Love ya Jeni

Wow - what an accomplishment! Congratulations!! I see we had surgery on the same date.

Thank you Rick. How are you doing on your wls journey? Jeni

It's coming along but I am getting more off-track lately so I need to get back on track. Overall though, I'm pleased at where I am at so far and look forward to continued success. Luckily I haven't experienced any of the problems I read some experience, but then again, that might not be good because it might keep me on track better.

Jeni, That is wonderful to have come down so far, wow, that is 12 sizes and almost 100 pounds! You are doing amazing. Sounds like your family reunion is going to be filled with xompliments and oohsss & ahhsss. Way to go! Darlene

Thank you Darlene! I can't wait to see everyone, it's going to be alot of fun. Take Care Jeni

Wow Jeni You have done so well. CONGRATULATIONS It's a great feeling being smaller than we were isn't it. I can't wait til size is no longer an issue with anything and that I don't have to think about it before I do anything like go to the movies, sit on a chair, etc, etc. Keep up the good work

Thank you Ruth! I agree with you, it will be nice not having to worry about our sizes and it will be wonderful to sit wherever we want, shop wherever we want...wow...I can't wait...all the possibilities..lol. Take Care Jeni

Congratulations Jeni!!! I am glad you can see your accomplishments play out in day to day life Rachael
