I can take my pants off...

and not even unzip them today!  Yipppeee!!!  And these were my pre-surgery "skinny" jeans that didn't even fit!  I think this is a WOW moment and I'm loving it!

I will NOT be doing a demonstration at dinner tonight!  Ha!  LOL!  No one needs to see that! 

You are doing fantastic! Way to go!!!!

Thanks Nancy!  I was so excited when I figured that thing out about my pants!  And I even dried them in the dryer - something I would NEVER do pre-op.  I hung them all to dry pre-op so the dryer wouldn't have any chance to shrink them!  LOL!

Congrats!!!  Do I need to bring you a belt so there isn't a "full moon" over Bricktown?  LOL!!!!!

Ohhhh, no dinner and a show??? Congratulations on pulling your pants down!!! It is a great WOW moment! Make sure they don't fall off unexpectedly one of these days!! LOL!!!!!

I KNEW you were going to say that!!  Great minds think alike, right?!  I have had the same thing happen too.  Its weird when your skinny clothes get big.

Congratulations, Kim!

I have several pair of shorts that I can take off just by un-hooking my belt - they fall straight to the ground!!  I'm too cheap to buy new shorts - no telling what size I might need by next summer...

Funny the strange new things we enjoy in our post-op lives, isn't it?

Sorry I won't make it to see you (with your pants on) at dinner tonight... just got home from a short vacation and trying to get caught up on everything at the house.  I know y'all will have a great time - try not to get too rowdy and get kicked out.

PS - I love the new avatar!  It looks like the real you!

Thank you so much for posting these WOW moments.  I have had such a frustrating time lately that I started thinking that maybe it's not worth all the hassle.  Then I read something like this and it inspires me onward!! I just can not wait till I can join you on the other side!

I want you to know that everything I do is easier at 59 pounds lighter.  From the simple (putting on my seat belt in the car) to the more advanced (fitting in an airplane seat).  I am so much happier with myself at this weight that the old weight.  I can only dream about what it will be like in another 59 pounds.  I can't wait!

The hassle is all worth it.  Jump through every hoop they give you even if some of them are flaming and singe some hairs!  It is worth it to get a chance at a life at a normal weight!

**Thinks of the harem he has created and how his bad habits are rubbing off on them all.  Is very pleased.***
