:-) WOW Moment

Have you ever had one of those "wow" moments that brought tears to your eyes when you told someone about it? McMom and I were having lunch on Saturday and I was relating to her something I had realized earlier that day. Earlier, I had been sitting down fixing my hair and I happened to look down at my lap and realized something. So I'm telling her this as we were having lunch and I got so choked up I couldn't talk. I started crying. Heck, I'm staring to cry just sitting here typing the words....for the first time in my life when I look down, although I still have a pannus, I can see the top of where my thighs meet my body. I don't EVER remember being able to see this...ok, I'm gonna go wipe my eyes/nose now....you can get back to work, I just wanted to share

Good Morning Terry I can relate on your wow moment. When i went to Fashion bug for the first time and actually walked out with bags of clothes that fit I was in tears. It is the greatest thing and Congrats on your wow moment. Many more to come. Cant wait to finally meet you at tea. Also on your last post you talked about shovling snow, I am with you on that one too. I hated it and always got my husband to do it but sometimes was forced to do it myself. I did it this morning on my way to the gym and it felt great to not hurt after 5 minutes of it. Well drive safe and see you soon Kelly

Terry that is so cool! Little things like that make all of the changes and surgeries and everything that goes with wls so worth it! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Terry, I love WOW moments. It's just those little things that make you feel so good. I can remember when I was able to see my feet without leaning over and when I was finally able to cross my legs! Bridget
