What was your biggest...

surprise WOW of having surgery & losing weight?

When you went to buy smaller jeans and think maybe 1 size down and you actually had to buy 2-3 sizes smaller..

WooooooooooooooHooooooooo!!

How fast I'm going through the sizes of clothes.  I just wrap my head around a 14, just can't believe it, and then they're too big and I'm buying a 12.  Now I feel like I'll never really go lower, but in the back of my mind I know I probably will buy a 10(?) some day soon - but an 8 just can't be possible either - it's crazy.  It's so hard to see the dream coming true because I've wanted it for so many years.
I had my son take my pic holding up my size 26's.  Check out my profile-mind blowing. 

How quickly I was able to tell the difference in how I looked.  For some reason, I got in my head that being SMO that I would need to lose at least 100 pounds before I went down a size or anyone would notice the difference.  To me (and others) it was readily apparant immediately upon my return from surgery (so down about 40-50 pounds).  I can wear a smaller size if I choose, but I still like my clothes baggy...I go back and forth between the bigger and smaller sizes.

I think my biggest wow was the other day when the towel fit all the way around me.

Amy,

There have been so many,  with different cir****tances............

Surprise WOW?  Dropping trow in my driveway about 3 weeks after surgery.  I did NOT see that coming!  (Hope no one else saw it, either!)

Realizing that this is actually going to work for me.

Realizing I'm one size larger than my sister....I've NEVER been close to my sister's weight, always the fat sister.  Truth be told....my BMI is better than hers....na na boo boo!!  A little sisterly competition never hurts, does it??? 

Well Amy when I started this I wore a size 58 pants, and now I am down to a size 40. All in the stretch of 7 months. I would call that a major WOW!!!!! Thank you all for your support.

Love you all Richard
