I had a great wow moment today and wanted to share with my WLS family..
I was outside with my daughter Angela this afternoon and we were playing alittle basketball when she asked me to play tag. I laughed and told her it was unfair cause I'm too fat to run. I ended up playing and I was "it" so of course I had to find her. I saw her and I started running.. really running!!! I couldnt believe it but I ran so fast I caught her!! She and I fell to the ground laughing so hard. She told me she didnt know I could run or even be able to catch her. She told me she was proud of me and now Im not "fat" anymore..lol... I'm still fat but its nice to be over 60lbs lighter and do the things I should of been able to do with my kids all their lives..

Anyways I wanted to share!!

Congratulations. What a joy. I am sure this is one of the reasons you had surgery. Loris

Wow! Awesome! One of the very reasons I had WLS was that I haven't been able to enjoy activities with my husband. He is really active and bicycles all the time, he even enters races. I would love to be able to bicycle, kayak, canoe, run, and climb with him. This is my inspiration for the future.

Congrats, and keep having more of those moments.

Thanks everyone!!! After yesterday I have made a vow to try something new everyday that I have been unable to do before WLS.. Today I went outside and raked the leaves... it was nice to be outside but raking really gave me a workout!!
