My first RNY WOW
I'm 5 weeks post op and I just had my first WOW!!
When DH tell you that you need to go bra shopping...you know it is WAY past time. LOL I also needed some basic black slacks for a business trip next week, so off I go. With high hopes, but realistic expectation, into the shop I go.
Now remember, I was a 26 when I started and 24 were fitting me comfortably at the time of my surgery. I'm down 20 pound - less than most, more than some - but 4 pounds a week on average is good. I picked up a size 20...and a 22 because again, I'm trying to be realistic. I head to the bras. Some of the last ones I purchased were 42's and 44's. I grabed 40's and 38's. Off to the fitting room I go....
THEY FIT!!! THE SIZE 20'S REALLY FIT. I let out a little squeel of joy right there in the dressing room! And I'll admit a little tear came to my eyes...IT IS REALLY HAPPENING! And the icing on the cake was the 38 bra fit as well.
It feels so good to finally have weight loss success. I've still got a long way to go, but I know I will get their because I finally have the right tool for the job.

Thanks! I got a second WOW yesterday on the airplane. I had 4 inches left on the seatbelt! and the tray table and I were able to comfortably coexist! I was amazed I could lay it all the way flat!!!
I purchased a 1X at a department store.
One point that I also made to my July group is that these are the things that help when the scales seem to be stuck. We had surgery because we wanted to improve our health and our lives..those are also successes that we often overlook!!!
