Hey, I think I had my first wow moment!!!

Im pre-op yes  but working hard on getting healthier and losing weight so it still counts! lol

3 months ago at my highest weight ever getting out of bed was a HUGE HUGE chore.... I will say admitting that makes me sad but that's not the point. I hurt in bed and moving, rolling over oh my goodness it was just awful.  I used to go to bed at night afraid I might not wake up...so basically I didnt sleep.

I am not sure how much weight I've lost but my health has improved So much over the past 3 months!   I jsut noticed this morning that it doesnt hurt to get out of bed anymore! not at all!!! I have no idea when that changed but now I  can just jump out of bed and I dont have to sit for an hour for the pain to subside....  well, to me, this is HUGE!  :)  YAY

YAY!!

Been there. It was awful. I remember what I'd have to do to roll over.

That is so wonderful, yhea for you!!!!!

All right!  any wow counts - and that is a pretty darn good one! 

Hip Hip horraay..   that is a great wow... its funny how we go on past them and suddenly realize later that we had a wow moment..

I can remember thinking as I lay in bed trying to roll over that I needed to get one of those trapeze bars that hang over the bed.. I had to get a hold of something and pull to just turn over.. and then maybe think of getting back to sleep.. then when the night was over I would dread the chore of getting up.. I literally would have to roll out of the bed.. I would get ahold of the bed post and pull as I rolled over trying to make sure that my feet hit the floor so I didnt fall.. it scared me to death every morning that I would not get on my feet and roll out on the floor, and I would be on the floor unable to get up and lay there all day before anyone realized I wasnt answering the phone.. and then when I did get my feet on the floor instead of it being a good thing the shooting pain would hit as my weight was put back on my knees and hips and back.. I would stand there and hold onto the bed post for dear life waiting for it to subside a little just so I could take a step.. then having to worry that it took so long to get that all done that I might not make it to the bathroom without peeing in the floor.. then I would have to go sit in my recliner for almost and hour before the pains would go away so I could even get dressed.. I do not ever want to have to ever do all that again.. I am not sure when it all stopped.. I think it took about 50 lbs before I wasnt hurting so bad or dreading going to bed at night to have the awful ritual all night and the next morning.. I missed that important wow moment...

kudos to you for catching yours  and making it a great WOW moment..

Yes this is a huge wow...yay.. is right.. I am doing the happy dance for you..

Thank you :)  Its wonderful to be feeling so much better.  I've had a couple others but you know...prefer to not post them kinda ones LOL
