What is your lastest WOW moment??

ok this is gonna seem a little strange, but before WLS when I looked down my belly always stuck out further than my boobs, now when I look down all I see is boobs! My tummy is shrinking! Another one I had this week is that I am able to walk on the treadmill for 20 minutes, before surgery I could barely do 10! I am 3 weeks out tomorrow and down to 255! Thats 24 pounds since surgery and 61 all together! With those numbers its hard not to start being a little happier AND OF COURSE, ALL OF YOU!!!!! Karyn

Hi Karyn, I'm so glad your body is shrinking. Could you fill me in on how you are getting your tummy to shrink??? I have the opposite problem. I am melting from the top down and everything is settling in the lower region! I have literally changed my body type. I am no longer an apple...I am a pear! Never thought that would happen..strangely now I'm hungry for some fruit..go figure!! Ginger

Hey Ginger, I have rediscovered my teenage talent that made me such a hit.....I can do the splits. I can also put both feet behind my head at the same time. Please don't picture it~It's still not a pretty sight, but my flexibility has definitely returned!! Carrie

Cool Carrie! That is definately a WoW moment....but do us a favor...Please don't forget about us when you are at goal...and doing your act on the circus curuit as a trapeeze girly-girl. yeah for flexibility! Ginger

Carrie, GIRL!!! You better enjoy that flexability while you gots it!!! If i put my feet behind my head I would have to be buried that way!!! And if I did split........OMGODDESS!!!!! Whats it like to be young and pretty? willby

You guys think that is funny Not... A couple years ago I did the spilts actidently on my uncles mossy porch. Slid both feet opposite direction imagine that at SMO size. I think I pulled every muscle I had. I have never been the same since. Lead to back surgery which I knew I had to have but it moved it up a few years. I am so careful where and how I walk now. I now I am too careful some times. but that hurt and took so long to recup from. So I hope getting this weight off will help. Cause I lost a lot of flexibility when I did the spiltz. But if you can do them without hurting yourself go girl gol love marie

Hi Marie, There is NOTHING in this world like the pain of back problems!!! Wow I am so sorry that you injured your back so badly. It makes sence that after your wls...and your weight loss kicks into gear, you shouldn't have as much of the pain. Back pain is the worst!...hang on March is almost here! Ginger

I guess my wow moment is really an "almost" wow ... my husband and I both weighed this morning... Before surgery(362) I weighed 145 lbs. more than my husband.. now (227) I just weigh 10 lbs. more than he does.. I CAN'T wait to weigh less than he does.....do you think maybe I should feed him more ????? lol Sondra

Hi Sondra, Congradulations on your terific weight loss!! Yes, I think there can be ways to fatten your hubby up...but that would be cheating right??? Ginger
