First WOW moment

First a thank you to all the Minnesota folks for giving such wonderful support and information.  I wouldn't be here in one piece without all of you!

I've been noticing that my knees have been hurting.  I couldn't figure out why because I haven't been doing anything differently.  Then this morning while I was walking into work, I saw why.  We have glass doors that you can see yourself in as you walk up.  I found that I'm walking "normal" again.  I've lost enough in my thighs that I don't have the "wide stance" walk anymore.  This took me by surprise. 

People at work are also noticing a change in my appearance.  I'm lucky I have such a great work family that cheer me on in this life giving process. 

Solid foods on Thursday!  Did I say I hate puree foods yet? 

Dolly

Way to go on your Wow moment.  Isn't neat to see a reflection of yourself and just notice a new you!

Congrats Dolly! These are the moments that make the different stages (like pureed food) all worth while!  Keep trudging through...believe or not, there are some people like myself who would give anything to do the first 6 months all over again!  I know it sounds funny, but enjoy every moment of this journey early out and take advantage of these tough stages, because truly that's when you lose most of your weight and believe or not, it's the easiest part of the losing!

Congrats again on your fun WOW!!!
