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

I am very happy for you!
That is a WOW moment.
My husband keeps telling me that I look really good but I can't seem to
see it myself.
I know my clothes are hanging loose but I don't see a change!
I think its really hard for us to see the changes.
I'm still waiting on my WOW moment. Because the scale does not mean anything and the clothes being loose does not mean anything to me yet.
So please savory the moment. You deserve it!
