8 week update
Hello Group.
I had my surgery on June 27 and weighed 296. Yesterday, I offically weighed
255 on the doc’s scale (mine at home was 245- so I changed my scale to match
his). I don’t have to go back for six months. I am feeling so good! I was
reminded to not skip any meals so that I end up screwing up my metabolism
again- Last week I told some of you that I had lost 50 pounds- so wanted to
make that correction. I am still in the clouds. I tried on a pair of new
jeans that had been in my closet forever- tags still on and they fit this
time!!
This afternoon we are having a family picture (my husband, the seven kids we
have at home and myself). Our seven at home are all adopted sibling group of
five and two single children. They range from 8 to 16. My husband has three
biological children (now adults) that I also helped raise. I used to joke-
that I gained 10 pounds with each of my kids and never did lose it. Someday
I will be able to say- yes- I did gain 10 pounds with each of the kids and
finally did lose it. I used to shy away from pictures- but I am actually
going to go and get my hair cut and fixed!
Thanks for all the support that I have received over the past 8 weeks. Have
a wonderful weekend. Patty
