My first wow moment

I originally posted this on the main messageboard, but also wanted to post with my August family) After feeling frustrated and kinda down this week, I had my first cliche "wow moment." I went to Lane Bryant and picked up a bunch of things in and 18. I did not expect them to fit since I started 6 weeks ago in a 26/28 shirt and 22/24 pants. Well guess what...the jeans went on like butter! Then I thought what the hell...I put on a bra in a 44 D (I've been wearing a 48 DD...the 44D was perfect! I went a step further...I thought there was no way in hell an 18/20 shirt would fit (my stomach and boobs would make that imposible)-wrong again...they were perfect! So perfect, that I took a picture of myself in the dressing room mirror with my cell phone (damn that's a handy device) and sent it off to my family!!! When I went out to look at some more clothing, I picked up a shirt in a 22/24 and the sales lady said "No way. You'll be swimming in it!" For some reason, that was the nicest compliment I've ever received! Although I've worn a size 18 before (about 10 years ago), I've never worn it in a top and bottom at the same time! It's so strange how the weight loss from this surgery is causing my body to lose pretty equally throughout my body-I love that!! I didn't realize that, until I put on clothes that actually fit and that weren't two sizes too large, that I've lost not just weight, but a whole lot of inches---and I'm not done yet! Best part is, so many of my medical problem are better or are totally gone already at only 6 weeks out! I just wanted to share this becuase I always love to read about others' "WOW" moments. Thanks for listening. Samantha
