8 Week Stats

[CraftyChristie 62]

I'm at 8 weeks tomorrow. I went with my hubby to his appointment today for 6 weeks, so I got weighed too. I have lost 48 pounds :-D Hubby at 6 weeks has lost 37. We're both feeling great!

My BMI has gone down 7 full points in 8 weeks.

My official 2 months is still a week away so with any luck I'll drop those 2 lbs to make a nice even 50 lb loss for my first 2 months :confused1: I will have official update photos and measurements at that time!

Also ~ someone wants to do a news story about us! I guess they do stories on my surgeon's patients from time to time and they inquired about us since we are a couple who did this together, and got the sleeve which is still so rare. We agreed and I gave my phone number so hopefully I will hear soon about the details. We might get a little TV spot!

Most importantly, everyone there today was very receptive to all of our opinions about how the program can be improved for sleevers. The director of the hospital program, and the nutritionist teaching the class today both spend time with us taking notes because they are going through a huge revision process right now since they are starting to get more sleeve patients and they know the program needs to be improved. Hopefully our suggestions will help those who come after us.
