I am just 4 months out of surgery.  I am found these to be my WOWs, so far!

  Onederland!!!!!!!
Down 60 lbs
  Size 24/26/XXL to a 16/14 L
  No more incontinence when I laugh, sneeze or cough
Legs touch the tanning bed
  My bath towels almost reach around me
  I can give myself a pedicure and tie my own sneakers without gasping for breath
I can sit in a theater chair, comfortably
  I have a WAIST!
  I have Cheekbones again!
  I don't have 3 chins anymore!
  I went to my 30th class reunion, skipped the 20th and 25th due to embarrassment
  I can cross my legs, comfortably and almost wrap them behind one another
  I can wipe myself without feeling as if my arm will pull out of the joint Touch my toes AND see them in the shower!
  I walk with my head high!!!  I have my confidence back!!!!!!!!!  xoxoxoxoxo

MY BMI has gone from a 40.9 to a 30.9.  I'm closing in on being OVERWEIGHT!!

Thank you all for your support.  I truly believe without the love and support of my OH family I wouldn't have been strong enough to have accomplished what I have!

I love you all!!!  XX 
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Cheri, you crack me up!  I LOVE your honesty and I'm so happy for you!  Those are all great WOWs!  Keep up the great work!  You are obviously doing wonderfully . Also, you are a great support to those around you here on OH so you deserve the support, too!

Yeah, I am brutally honest sharing TMI I suspect.  Hopefully, not too much to offend...but, if anyone has experienced any of that stuff, it will be refreshing for them to know as pre-oppers, it does get better!  LOL

Yes, you are just stating what we are all thinking and it is refreshing to know it's not just us alone experiencing some of those things!
