Two New Milestones

I was feeling a little down that I didn't move the scale last week, but.............. I went to the hairdresser today and she commented that  a) my hair looks nice & healthy...no signs of breakage or sparseness yet. (I pray that continues!)  b) She told me that the cape they put over you when cutting hair she had 3 snaps over....used to be for me she snapped it on the first one and it practically choked me!  Also, for years I have worn nothing but stretch elastic waist denim pants (size 24-26)  Last week I bought a pair of REAL jeans, zipper and all in a size 18....woooohhooooooo!!  Its these little milestones that keep us motivated and feeling good. I have NO regrets about my RNY!!   Just wanted to share this with my WLS friends.  HUGS  Jeanine

Congratulations Jeanine - your doing fabulous!  Thanks for sharing the wow moments, how cool!!

Thank you!!  It doesn't take much to excite me these days. LOL

these are great milestones! congratulations. i remember when i used to go and get my hair cut and the woman really had to work pumping that chair to raise me...now it's pretty effortless -- i'm sure she's happy about my weight loss, too! congrats again, and keep it up! deb

Thank you Deb!  Isn't it interesting how such small things can make us smile now!  Life is good, huh?  HUGS  Jeanine

Congrats Jeanine!  lol  I wish my hair would do like yours but I think you are better than me at the whole protein thing and that probably makes a big difference, So i'm sure some of it is my own dang fault!  Congrats on the jeans and when they get to big  i'm always here to help take them off your hands. :)  I'm with you on that whole cape fitting thing, I stopped going to the hairdresser because I was afraid I wouldn't fit in the chair :( But now I love to go!  Congrats again!  Estelle

Hey...if you are in the Clifton Park area tomorrow or Friday, I'll bring those pretzels to work with me & you can stop in for a visit..I'm there alone 8-4.  Thanks for the comments.  I'm glad you aren't afraid to do anything anymore!!  My heart aches for those still in that position . I pray that they too will make the journey and enjoy the success.  You have beautiful hair!!!!    HUGS  Jeanine

It's those little things that really get ya - congrats! Very exciting!

Thank you...yes it is.  I know its been some time for you, but I'd love to hear about the things that meant most to you (big or small) on your way down the losers path.  HUGS  Jeanine

You look amazing, Jeanine!! Congratulations on getting into an 18. I'm still to scared to go find out what size I am. I just keep wearing the baggy clothes and only got new jeans. What a chicken I am!!! -Julie
