My WOW moment!
I had to return a Christmas present...a slacks suit. I retuned them because the pants were so large. Thinking I needed a 14, the originals went back. I got home with the new ones.....too big! (I hate trying on clothes) so back they went again.....this time I was very cautious and took 2 pair to try on. Well, let me say I did the happy dance through the store, into the parking lot and right to the car, grinning all the time like a fool to show the size tag off. My husband watching me like I was crazy....he understood when he saw my face and the size tag. A size 12. I truly never believed I would be this small again. While I used to hate shopping...it may now become fun again. Thank you to all of you for getting me through the last 10 months...it was tough, and I needed a lot of help and encouragement, but I am finally healthy and happy again. Happy New Year everyone!
I can so relate to your WOW moment. Like Joyce, I started this journey at 303 pounds and have gone to 157. I hurried home with a Junior size 15 jeans to show my husband. I enjoy shopping now more than I have in many, many years. You and I had the same wonderful surgeon....Dr. J.
Happy New Year to you. Hope to see you again soon.

OMG that is great !! To be a size 12 again. That is a true WOW moment. I can;t even remember when I was a size 12 maybe 25 years ago. I can't wait to see you I bet you were grinning from ear to ear. I am glad your not sick to your stomach any more ( knock on wood). I called you the other day and left a message. I will call you again today but not till late this afternoon. I am going to try to go to sleep. It is now 4.25 am. We need to get together for lunch...
Happy New Year to you !!!!!
