Had a WOW moment today!!

  I have been running out of jeans to wear. I was wearing size 24 before surgery and those are falling off me now.  I moved on to the 22's I still had. They were really starting to bag so much in the legs and rear that it just looked really sloppy to wear.  But I was not going to run out and buy some new jeans for only a size or two. I went to Goodwill in Seymour.  I was looking for a size 20 to try on. I couldn't find any jeans in that size.  I did find one pair in size 18. I thought what the heck.  I haven't tried on any clothes other than what I already have in my closet since surgery.  The 18's fit and are a little loose actually. I got them anyway.  They look much better than the ones I have been wearing. So Happy, So Happy, So Happy!! I am trying to remember when I wore this size last.  Memory fails me but I am sure its been 18 yrs atleast! 
I finally made myself get to the hospital to get my first labs done since my surgery 12 weeks ago. I have been dreading doing that.  Not sure why but I have been.  I know my blood sugar/A1C will be normal and that alone is a miracle and a blessing.  My last A1C was not good, but that was before the RNY. So I am anxious to see where I am at on that number. 
Hugs and Prayers to you all.  Thanks for sharing this journey with me you guys!
Blessings to you all, Leah

Leah, that's so exciting! Good for you! I got into a 22 that was a bit big and I was thrilled. Keep going girl!

I'm ashamed of what I did for a Klondike bar...
