Wow moments...

My biggest wow moment was when my granddaughter put her arms around me and said she could hold her own hand behind my back. Last sunday at church a man in my sunday school class had been out of town and I spoke to him and he walked over and said Amy it is you I didnt know you when I saw you. I have ankles now, I sat down in a lawn chair and hurt my butt bone, it hurt but I was so thrilled. I know it will get lots better than it is already. Sometimes I even see myself in the mirror, I look back and the same old me is there but maybe that will change.

Being able to put my legs around my husband and crossing my feet at the ankle.

Ok...when I first read your post, I was going to be my normal smart a$$ self and say my biggest WOW moment occured today when I got on the scale at the doctor's office and it said 199 lbs. WOW that is big for ME. I joked and said I should have taken my shoes off but in reality, I died a little bit. I am officially bigger than I have EVER been in my life. I was going to be funny...but it isn't really that funny. So, I read on down the posts of each of you...and now I am really HAPPY for all of you. I know that my day will come too. I am pre-op, of course you already know that, but I think a Wow moment will be the day that I look in the mirror and recognize the person I see. Thanks for making me cry butthead You know I love yas!!!!

mimi, dont sweat over the weight. You are doing something about it, you have a date that will change your life forever. I know the scale can show a bit of reality for everyone and sometimes it sucks but it does get better.. dont cry because i am a sympathy crier and i will start crying and that will lead to typo's because i wont be able to see my screen lol

I'm a sympathy crier too. I am also a sympathy puker Have a great night...going to

Ok...I am replying to my own post... I went to see Dr. Tom today for my H&P and the scale i was on yesterday is a BIG FAT LIAR!!!! I don't friggin weigh 199 lbs. That made me feel soooo much better.

Jane that is an image I didn't need. I don't know if I can get to onederland. Dr. Tom and I think 210 is what I should go for.

Had another one today when I was out with my gramma. First we went to dinner my first time out. So it was Frish's it was food lol. My gramma commented on how cheap I was she didn't have to but me anything haha. Then we went to Walmart and I ran into some friends that haven't seen me since my surgery and didn't even know it and they freaked at how well I am looking. It felt so good. I was told next time someone asks my secret to say that it's all thanks to a good lookin man and leave it at that LMAO. Sad thing is my GRamma was the one who said that. lol Now I know I am not going to be able to look Dr. Tom in the face haha.

Lol...I thought you meant that the "good looking man" was your husband!! I was confused at first why you couldn't look Dr. Tom in the face. I am so dense sometimes... No comments from the peanut gallery!!
