The last three and a half months have been so full of "wow" moments for me but, for some reason, a particular one that happened this weekend stood out.  We went down to Winona for my BIL's ordination into the priesthood and stayed at a Holiday Inn.  After swimming with the kids (in a swimsuit IN PUBLIC!) I went back to the room to shower so I would not smell like chlorine when we went to dinner.  I stepped out of the shower and wrapped the hotel towel around me and it actually wrapped all the way around!  I don't remember ever having a hotel towel wrap completely around me.  I so love my RNY!

AWESOME!!!   I was SURE all the towels in our house had grown several inches in length before I realized - it was ME SHRINKING, not the TOWELS GROWING! 

Hang on to that, and every other WOW that comes along - they're the BEST!  

(And for the record?  There's NO SUCH THING as a "little" WOW moment!  By it's very definition, anything that elicits a "WOW" is a BIG DEAL!!!)

Thanks ladies!  Many of my "wow" moments can be shared w/ my non-WLS friends but I believe this is one that only those of us who have been there, done that can understand.

This is a great wow moment!!
You are so right, those that do not need WLS just wouldn't understand something like this or even many of our wow's.
