WOW moment!!!

Hi everyone (back home in CT), Just wanted to let everyone know that I had my surgery 5 weeks ago and as of today, I have lost 48 pounds and dropped from a 22/24 to an 18!!!!!! YEAY!!!!! It felt so good to get into my old clothes that I had loved and I didn't think twice about packing up the newer larger clothes that I have out-grown! I feel GREAT!!!!! Laurie

Congrats! Its a great feeling isn't it? Shopping will become a new joy for you.

Thanks Chris...U look great in your new pix...keep up the great work!!!! Laurie

Hi PC, Congratulations! I'm still on the exploration list, just trying to figure which of two surgeons will do my RNY, and I can't wait to get to where you are...5 weks post-op and down 6 clothing sizes. WOW! I can only imagine your glee. I just gave away bagfulls of suits and slacks to Goodwill the other day, because it has been years since I was able to even fit an arm into them. But I have reserved some clothing for that wonderful day when, stuff that I could only look at and lament about will be able to fit again. But even more so, I look forward to the day when I will be able to fit into a size 40 or 42 suit, which is the size I wore when I got married 29 years ago. Shoot! I might even ask my wife to join me at the altar again, since I'll be a brand new person, and I wouldn't want her to be confused about who she is married to. And after that, we might as well have a reception, because I haven't danced in years. So, continue to celebrate! Celebrate! And dance, . You've got every reason to rejoice. Celebrate not only the loss of weight, but celebrate your prolonged life . Celebrate your ability to do and go places that you had previously restricted yourself from going; or felt unwelcomed from attending. It's a new day for you PC, and a new life...enjoy it ALL! Peace, Ken P.
