7 week update

hi everyone,  just thought I would update my family on my progress thus far. I started this journey at 265. My surgery went relatively uncomplicated. I had lost 15 pounds at my 2 week checkup and was almost turning cartwheels in the lobby of WW I was so excited, and then there were mushies, and oh were they fabulous. I was so excited with my weight loss at that point I couldn't wait to get on the scales the next day to see what had happened, and the day after that and the day after that and so on and so on. Well here I am 5 weeks later and I had not weighed in a few weeks because my future husband hid the scales from me because he could see me slipping into a very bad habit of weighing everday. Today I went to visit my wonderful surgeon Dr. B and when I saw him I almost cried. He is afterall the one who has helped me get myself back from the dark side of depression. I officially weighed in at 227 today which makes me and my fiance the exact same weight. I have not weighed in the 220's in over 5 years. I am so blessed to have gotten to know so many of you here on OH and at the support group meetings, I don't know how to thank everyone for  everything you all have done for me. Just know that each and everyone of you, whether I have met you personally or not, are in my daily prayers. I wish I lived closer to you all so I could join in on your meet and greets. So again thanks to everyone for all the smiles and laughs you have put on my face with all of your wonderful humor. God bless and I am proud to be amoung the "losers" for once.  Hugs to everyone.

Wow!  You are using your tool to the max!  Good work!

Thanks Denise, your the best. Hugs

Well way to go!  And good for you and fiance for stopping a bad habit (weighing exessively) in the making.

Well you know how I feel about you and your family, regardless of size, you're a wonderful person....BUT HEY WAIT......now that you're smaller and you're feeling great about yourself, I wanted to let you know how really proud of you I am.  Just keep that positive attitude going and keep "basting" in that self-love and it makes it so much easier for everyone else to love you too!  I think it's wonderful for see you realize your potential and feel how real it is getting!

Big Love,

T.
