One of my biggest WOW moments

It's been forever since I've been on this site but believe me I haven't forgotten everyone and all the help and love I've received from here.  I miss all my friends like Moe (where are you?) and everyone else so here's a big Hug to all and wishes fora wonderful Holiday.  Ok lets get down to the business of the WOW moment.  I have had a lot of them, I am 14 months out for those who don't know me or remember me.  I had Lap RNY at Siani Hospital 10/13/06  to date I have lost 170 lbs.  Gone from 360 to 190, from size 32 to a whopping (what my hubby thinks is right cute size 14/16.   I'm doing great, feeling good and very busy hense why I haven't been on here as much.  Anyway I'm off track again.  Last night a bunch of us went to the movies, 4 of us girls are a year or more out.  I have not been to a movie is a few years and when I did I was so uncomfortable I couldn't enjoy the movie I was so crushed into the chair, legs were crushed into the seat in front of me, my thighs were being dug into by the screws in the seats.  I would sit there miserable praying the lights would come up and we could leave.  We pretty much quit going to movies.  WELL last night we went, I sat down and there was plenty of room between my legs and the side of the seat, I had tons of leg room, I crossed my arms in front of me and could lay my head on my husbands shoulder and snuggle in.  I will admit that after lots of high fives between all of us, because we were all experiencing the same thing, I cried.  My husband just smiled at my tears cause he knows how awful it was before.   So long story short as trivial as this may be to the outside world, it's huge to me and we will be spending a lot more time at the movies.  That along with my clothes spending we will be in the poor house in no time.  I knew you guys would understand so thanks for listening to me ramble.  Hope everyone is healthy and happy and we will talk again soon.

That is a great wow!!!!

Hi Margie, It's nice to meet you. I can imagine that is a big wow! I'm looking forward to it, just reading your enthusiasm. I don't have a big problem with movie seats, but I know when I am smaller, I will be tons more comfortable. Thanks so much for sharing. As a very recent post-op, I love reading posts like this that give me things to look forward to.

Margie nice to meet you. I can believe that this was a great WOW for you. Having started this journey at 390 I know what you are talking about. We have stopped going too. You have done wonderfully well and inspire me.

Beautiful WOW moment.  I can so relate.  Keep up the good work, stay on track, and keep on having WOW moments.  Happy Holidays! TraciL
