My first personal WOW moment!

Well I am only one month out and I had my first personal WOW moment. I was getting dressed and most of my clothes are not fitting so I went to my closet to find something and only thing in there were size 26 pants. Well I was thinking they wouldn't fit and they did a little big but at least they stay up. Oh yeah and they are jeans. I can't believe this is going sooooo fast. It is incredible. I haven't wore jeans in years let alone a size 26. OK I will stop bragging but I can't wait until the hubby gets home from work so I can show him also. Rocquetta

Good morning Rocquetta! WOW! Congrats! Keep up the awesome job. Glad to have you with us on the losing bench! Linda 367/237/?

Congratulations to YOU!!! Its a great feeling when your clothes start falling off. Before you know it, you'll be pitching those size 26 pants!

First of all congrats on the weight loss and I am so happy for you!!! I was getting a little worried when we hadnt heard from you in a while and had been asking about you. Do you need more size 26 jeans. I have a lot of them that are like brand new I can give to you. Just let me know and I will get them to you. Keep up the good work and let this new life amaze you every day!! I am four months out and I still cant believe how fast my life has turned around. But I would still knock anyones block off who says wls surgery is cheating and its the easy way out. I bet you have already learned its a complete life change that you will have to live with forever. Yes you have to give up a few things, but look at all you gain. Your sanity, your health, your energy, your self esteem, respect from others, Your LIFE!! Big Hugs Laura

Laura, Sorry I haven't been on here much. I have had some really bad days. Trying to get use to the eating and the portion sizes. Then with the protein intake and everything else I was tired and could hardly go upstairs to use the bathroom. But now that I have been adding the profect I am doing 100% better. Matter of fact I am about to order some today while I still have the money. Thanks for the offer of the pants but the 26's are really too big but they don't hurt my belly where my hernia repair was done. My sister gave me about 6 pairs of 24's so I should be set for a few weeks anyways. I agree that this is no where near the easy way out. There have been some days that I said why did I do this but then my husband and kids remind me that this was the best thing for me and I go take a hot bath and go to bed and then I wake up and realize myself why I did this. I have no regrets even with the bad days. I even started walking yesterday and it felt wonderful. I tried a slim fast optima bar yesterday morning and didn't read the label right so I think I had my first dumping. It was awful. So now back to the regular foods I was doing and forget the sweet craving. It doesn't help that mother nature is knocking on my door either. Rocquetta 333/294

Rocquetta, Excellent!!! I can't wait! I'm waiting for my surgeon to call me with a pre-op date! But I am sooo excited for you. Keep up the great work. Josie

wooohooooo Congrat's! lemme know when you have time to come over and go through clothes. I told ya if you need them I got them for you. Not too many jeans though, but some nicer outfits and some slumpy at home stuff.

Thanks Vickie, I only have Monday and possibly Tuesday this week. I am watching my sisters 2 young kids and also I took in a 6 and 2 year old and am in the process of taking custody of them. Yeah I know what am I thinking with 5 of my own already. I should only have them until the 1st of the year. Hopefully by then there mother will be back in town and have a place to live. I won't know until Thursday what my week is looking like next week. And I have always been a slumpy dresser no matter where I go. I guess I didn't try dress up cuz everything looked terrible on me. Well anyways, I am glad to see you on here again. And glad that I am able to sit here without falling asleep finally. Rocquetta
