What r your WOW moments lately??

I have had so many wow moments and I'm sure alot of you did as well. Lets start to focus on the great things this surgery has done for us. Plus it's not all about how many lbs. you lost but it's also about how many inches and how much self asteem you got back and physical ability your now able to do. Here are just a few of mine!!! 1. Can walk without a cane or holding on to something 2. Put on old jeans and they were actually too big 3. Not out of breath at all anymore 4. No more 3 chins only 1 now 5. Can tie my sneakers without tying them to the side 6. Doing things with my hubby I haven't done in awhile 7. Doing things with the children I haven't done in years 8. Gone down several sizes in my clothes 9. I went back to school and actually fit behind the desk 10. Joined a gym and I'm able to work out with the best of them!! At least for 30 minutes anyway 3x's a week Now those are my WOW moments latley, what are yours?? Cheri

* I can wear jeans that havent fit in 2 years ( 4 sizes smaller) * I can actually fit a bath towel completely around me * I have more energy * I actual enjoy and look foward to working out ------- Thats it for now.. but Im sure there will be more soon !

Hi Alicia, See I forgot about the energy and I'll have to see if I can fit a bath towel around me too!! Cheri

Great thread Cheri! I had a wow moment I was able to clean the bathtub without getting on my hands and knees, and without feeling like I would pass out when I stood back upright! It's the little things! But then again, I've been told that it doesn't take much to amuse me! HUGS K

You see it doesn't take much to make us happy. All the little things in life that we weren't able to but now we can. People need to know when they have it as good as they do that they better appreciate it a little more. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? Cher;

My WOW moments are EVERY MORNING- Everything fits me..except for the larger sizes in my closet... I sit on floor and cross my legs.. I can stretch and touch my toes... BUT THE BEST IS WHEN I LOOK AT MYSELF on the potty and see my stomach is smaller on the bathroom shower mirrored doors. I know longer think WHO DOES THAT BELONG TOO... COME ON THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE MIRRORED SHOWER DOORS KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT ... The big old tummy is slimming down... THAT IS THE BEST. MY OLD SHOES FIT... MY OLD Skirts and sweaters from over 10 years ago FIT... THE THOUGHT of having to go out shopping for more clothes ... YES WOWOW moments..

I knew this would be fun becaudse there are so many things that we know are going to be WOWS, we all have so many of then,even the littis about how you don't have tie you shoes off on the side.or how you can fit in a chair better now. Come on people I know there are alot of thrm so lets share. Cheri

WELL LET'S SEE.......... I CAN WALK WHILE HOLDING MY DAUGHTER WITHOUT FEELING I'M GOING TO PASS OUT AFTER 3 STEPS. I CAN WALK OUT TO MY CAR WITHOUT SWEATING LIKE A FAT COW. I WAS SHOWERING YESTURDAY AND I FELT A BUMP AND AS I'M FREAKING OUT, I REALIZE IT'S MY SHOULDER BLADE,LOL. I WENT FROM A SIZE 24 JEANS TO A 18 AND THE ARE LOOSE. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING OUT. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE PLANS TO MEET WITH FRIENDS I WAS AVOIDING BECAUSE I HATE TO BE THE FAT GIRL IN THE GROUP! EVEN THOUGH I'M MARRIED AND HAPPY, WOMEN LIKE ATTENTION FROM MEN AND I HAVE FELT LIKE THEY ARE BEING SO NICE AND PAY MORE ATTENTION. I HAVE GOTTEN COMPLIMENTS FROM A FEW AND IT FEELS NICE!! I GUESS THAT'S A FEW OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, THIS WAS FUN!!!!

Hi Maria, You know something that's one thing I forgot. I used to do the same thing you did, blow off my friends. Of course not intentionally but I was too fat and embarressed. I'm just starting to how you say " come out of the closet" and start to keep my dates I make with my friends. I'm also married and happy but you still need to have friends. I'm going to make that a goal for me, no more avoiding people. Thanks. Cheri
