WOW Moments!

Just had another when the scale read I have lost 100.2 since October.

Booyahh.

The first WOW moment was when I saw a very attractive woman walking toward me only to realize I was walking toward a mirror and that attractive woman I hadn't recognized was me! The other day my husband walked into the living room where I was resting in the chair. He thought I was our daughter and commented that he didn't know she was here. We were both amazed when he realized it was me. She is a lovely young woman who has has modeled. I feel like I have my life back. Nancy

 that's a interesting topic. 
My wow moment is that my bf propose to me.

Thank you for being willing to share my story about cross addiction and my regret for having gastric bypass surgery. If I can help to educate anyone, by my own experiences, in itself I will feel a sense of purpose out of this experience.

I appreciate your time and thoughtful consideration on this sensistive matter.

Feel free to contact me by cell at 320-290-9930 or by email.

Sincerely, Joy Bjerke

I havent renewed my drivers license since before my surgery, almost 4 years ago. About 3-4 weeks ago I went to a check cashing store to cash a check, I haven't been in there in years. I handed her my license, but she had an old picture of me on file. She said this isn't you! Oh my God. And called over her co-workers to show them the picture. I told her yeah you dont remember me?  She was Friends with My Best Friend's mom. She eventually remembered and was in complete Shock! I had her print me out a copy and I couldnt believe it. lol It didnt even look like me.   =]

Picture I was 406lbs, Im Currently 139.

9 months post op I've lost 220 lbs.. I went to bank yesterday to cash a check gave the clerk my DL . She would not cash the check because my DL says I weigh 440 lbs. After 5mins of explaining the manager approved the check. I guest I need to go to the dmv to get new DL .

went on a date a couple of weekends ago and he started tickling me and I actually was ticklish.  Almost painfully ticklish.  He could tickle my bones  lol - never was honestly ticklish before.

I've just read this entire thread and agree w/all - it's been an amazing ride and have experienced all of the same WOW moments.   The other thing that really amazes me too is how I was invisible before to strangers and now they send me a smile.  Maybe it's because my confidence level has increaed, but hey, whatever it is, I'll take it  :-)
