Major WOW Moment

Had 3 month post op appointment yesterday and had pictures re-done. That was a definite WOW. Al is really going well. I have posted pictures on my profile. My suggestion for success: follow the rules, exercise, and reward yourself with something super but non-edible! 

Carol, As much as we shy away from the camera BEFORE WLS, it gives us tangible evidence of these WOW moments.  Good job - you have come a long way in a short period of time. Thank you for sharing with us. Annette

Congratulations on your WOW moments. Each one seems to be as good as the first one! I had a visit with the wls nurse and she showed me the pictures that she has taken since just before surgery. I was surprised that the first on (pre-op) I remarked that I looked very unhappy. By the time we went through a couple more times she remarked that I was starting to smile. I am sure this last one that she took yesterday I was just blooming. Make sure that you ask to see them after several months and then you can really see the difference. It is amazing.  I believe your suggestions for success is right on the mark!  You have to make sure that you do reward yourself on occaision. That is so important. I know I never thought that I was worth it and now I KNOW that I am and I do it on a fairly regular basis. lol  Sending you lots of ginormous hugs for your wonderful WOW moments!

~*~*~*~*~* Cely, You look Mauvolous Dawlin.... Ain't Life Grand.... I need to work on my profile. I have a new camera and kinda know how to get pix online.... sigh... But you look great.... Millie

WOW is right!....you look amazing...you have earned it by doing good things, but you know what I say....THANK GOD FOR WLS!!! Hugs, Marti

Glad you can enjoy this WOW moment!  It is really a wonderful journey, not without it's ups and downs, but life just seems to get better and better, at least this part of the journey (lol)!!! Hugs, Laureen

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement. When the surgery is first done, many of us say....well, when is it going to happen for us?  And all of a sudden itis three months later and you realize that it truly IS happening! What a great group of people!  Thanks again and best wishes to all of you!

Aloha Carol from your Hawaiian sister in the OFF.......Oh, how we LOVE our WOW's!! Yours was the first post I opened this morning, and it's like a little shot of joy to start my day. Thank you, and keep up the great work!!

Aloha nui loa,

How exciting to have a contact in Hawaii!  I will be in Kona January 28- February something or other.  I get to Hawaii at least every other year and preferably each year. What a beautiful, relaxing place -- is the super ferry a reality? Congratulations on winning your battle with the fat fairy! I'll be asking for lots of advice! Mahalo!

WOW for sure you look Marvelous!! Did you ever think ther could be such a differance in 3 months? Enjoy your summer, you will just keep feeling better and better and having more and more energy.Blessings
