HELLO HELLO EVERYONE!!!!
Hello Everyone,
Merry Xmas, Happy New Years, and A very Happy pre- Valentines Day wish! I hope this finds all of you well and feeling in good spirits.
Last time I was on here, I had just had my DS revision(June 2007) and had just returned from recuperating in Ohio after being there for a month-
Well it has been 7 months since that procedure and I am minus an additional 70 lbs! This is a total weight loss of 170 lbs! It has been a VERY LONG time coming- but it happened, and I am blessed that the revision did the trick- I would encourage anyone who had problems with their initial surgery to NOT GIVE UP- and to continue until you can find an amicable solution. I have been blessed-and so Happy to have been given an additional opportunity.
Not sure if I mentioned this to you all last time but Craig had a Gastric Bypass in March of last year- He has lost a total of 200 lbs! Of course he has had NO complications, no issues, nothing- His Bypass was smooth sailing- He looks like a totally different human being.
I posted new pictures of us and of the family showing our new transformation- It is a really good feeling to FINALLY get somewhere super close to goal- In fact, Craig is at goal, and I have 25 lbs to get to my personal goal-
I also have major major hanging skin- I was one who thought I would NEVER do plastics- but with these giant bat wings- and this hanging skin over what used to be a tummy, well- I honestly think I have an additional 20-25 lbs just in skin- its just that horrible. Whomever came up with SPANKS is my sheroe! Those things work miracles!
The kids are really thriving and doing well.
Kelli is a freshman in High School- still undergoing surgeries, but still hanging in there- She is in orchestra, and also still heavily active in Scouting. Brandon is now in 6th grade, plays in band, is in martial arts, gifted program, and also played fall baseball-
I hope everyone is doing well- I miss hearing from you- but as always, you know I have been super busy! Its GIRL SCOUT COOKIE TIME- and you know there is no rest for the weary!
Just know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers!
