pre-op wow moment

Hello Cali Family,
So I just wanted to share something exciting that happened today.  Well a few things actually.  So my highest weight last year was 322 and I am now down to 281.  I have lost 9 more pounds than my doctor said I needed to before surgery.  This is the smallest I've been in a good 10 years. 

Anyhow, onto the exciting.  For my birthday, which is on Monday, I went to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom today to celebrate.  I got to go on stage for the dolphin show and shake my booty for all to see.  You bet I wouldn't have done that 40 pounds ago.  And I got soaking wet.  After the show my friends and I went to go find me some clothes to change into.  I never thought that the stores would have pants big enough to fit my hips and butt.  But, they did.  I fit quite nicely into an XL!  Never would I have imagined that an XL would fit.  I was so excited!  That and I got to go on some rides that I couldn't in September, like Medusa, Kong, and Tasmanian Devil.  I can't wait to experience more wows like this after surgery.
