Home finally and sparkly WOW moments

Hi everyone! First, I've been watching the boards from the lake, but haven't had much time to reply to posts. To those of you just slightly post-op; Christy, Amy, Thomas....it's almost mushie time!! Hang in there, it all gets so much easier. Promise. To others with various struggles; lean on us as you have been. It all works out the way God intends for it to. God is good...all the time. I'm home for a few days now before I go to south TX to pick up kids from camp. Ok, that month went really fast. Anyway, my WOW moment....I've had my eye on this delicious super sparkly belt for a long time. Decided I'd wait to buy it until I could get into a L. So, I set out last week to see if I could get it on. Lo and behold, I can get it in the first notch. I was in heaven and couldn't pay for it and escape the store fast enough. The other WOW moment for me was in the Harley store. Their clothes typically run small and slim cut. I was able to get into some sizes of "tops" that just 2 months ago seemed impossible. So, as my sparkly friend Kim would say, "The banana works". I'm getting close to the 50# loss mark and it feels really good. Although I do still see the "other" me when I look in the mirror. Wonder when I'll start seeing the "new" me? Hope everyone is doing well and staying cool. I've missed you all. Thanks for listening!!! Cindy

WOW!!!  Congratulations to you!  Behold, the power of the banana! Glad you are back with us! We missed your sparkly posts! Denise

Welcome back!!  Congratulations on the sparkly belt!  That is cool.  I'm home recooperating and trying to get in all this liquid.  Boy is it harder than I thought to get in 64 oz.  I have 8 more days to go until mushies.  Can't wait for that scrambled egg!  I have never liked beans but those refried beans with cheese y'all talk about sound like heaven too.

Oh my goodness if you get any more "sparkly" things put on you, I'm gonna use you as a disco ball!  YAY for getting to that next magic step!  I'm so happy for you!  I know that you deserve all of the wow moments you can get since you're so wonderful! As for me, I'm not so excited about mushies...  refried beans, eggs, and cottage cheese... doesn't sound like I can do much with those items...  but hey it's better than nothing...lol...  I'm craving meat...I'm a man and that's my job.. So hey...any pictures of any of those tops from the harley store with you in them????  don't just tell us about it, we wanna see!  As far as seeing the "other" you in the mirror.....well I'm not sure what you looked like before but I can only comment on how you look now....  you look luscious...hot as hell.....sexy....fun....sparkly.....beautiful....  and there's a few things I can't say here in the forums....hehehehe....  so take that....and deal with it! T.

Ditto what Cowboy said, you are beautiful!!  I think you should post some pictures and celebrate!

ummm...yea and show some skin....dammit.... T.

Skin? I have no idea what you're talking about? LOL Thanks for the compliments. I feel my head swelling as I type. (Stop it Ruth and Rita....)

I'LL SHOW YA SOME SKIN BIG GUY!!!   ROFLMAO!!!  love ya sweetie!!  

Thomas if you need to see some skin I know some places....ahh hell this is Thomas I am talking to you know the places too, lmao. Cindy I am happy for you that things are fitting easier now.  Don't that just feel great?  I still see the old me in the mirror sometimes too then i have to slap myself and say YOU LOST 100 POUNDS SO FAR YA DORK SNAP OUT OF IT.  I still have a lot of my gut and several shirts I want to wear fit but just are not long enough to cover the TIRE.  That is what gets me down.

100 POUNDS is amazing!!!!! It is a great feeling to have things fit better; it just hasn't all sunk in yet. I'm sure that "tire" you talk about is just a little donut (oops, bad choice of words) now. Keep up the good work!!!!
