3 Months Out
on May 23, 2011 6:21 am
Officially 3 months out and I'm on the fence. While I'm proud to have lost 44 lbs. since surgery, I know there is a lot more I could be doing to lose more. I work out 2 times a week, I really need to get in at least 3-4 times. I was also doing at one time last month tracking down my foods really good, but I've been so busy with finals and my daughter, that I've been eating out alot lately. I'm going shopping again today, I really got to get back into this. I set a goal for 15 lbs a month and I've only met it once. I want to be able to see my feet next Summer. I really gotta step it up and get back on it. 9 lbs a month is still good, but it doesn't feel so good when you have 100 to lose.

1 Month 3 weeks out...
on April 11, 2011 9:25 am
So I jumped on the scale this morning and I was at 300.2....OMG I'm almost under 300 lbs. I haven't been under 300 since I had my daughter. I know I stil have a loooooonnnngggg way to go but right now I'm living in the moment. I'm not gonna lie and say I've done everything right, hell I've probably done everthing wrong but I'm trying to turn that around. I don't want to lose the weight only to gain it back so I'm makeing some life changes. I don't eat what I'm supposed to so from now on it's gilled fish, chicken, lean beef (sparingly), and turkey. I'm a single mother full time employee as well as full time school. I don't have alotta time to cook like I want to but if I want this to work for me I'm going to have to make time. So I'm going to look for some healthy low carb foods and THUG IT OUT....

1 month and 1 week OUT
on March 28, 2011 1:55 pm
Lost a total this morning of 24.2 lbs lost. I'm sooooo excited this is the most I've ever lost in this short amount of time. I hit a stall for 2 during week 2 and 3. I wasn't drinking my protein and water like I was supposed to. I also hadn't had a bowel movement for about a week. Soooo once I started back doing what I was supposed to I've been seeing between a lb to two lbs gone per day. This is very exciting and I can't wait to see how much weight loss I get during my 2 month mark.

6 days Post OP
on February 28, 2011 12:29 pm
So the surgery went well. I went into in thinking I would be in extreme pain but no.....when I awoke I walked and it was really painless. It did feel like I've done 1,000 cruntches but other then that no pain. A lot of gas kinda confused me didn't know if it was hunger or what but I can feel the difference between hunger and gas. Followed strictly my liquid diet and having a hard time finding out when I'm full. Drinking water and eating my protein shakes but other then that everything is going good. I tried yogurt with my protein and it this morning I feel really sore but so glad the drain gets removed tomorrow. Will let you know how much weight I've lost pretty soon but I'm afraid to weigh myself.

5 MORE DAYS
on February 17, 2011 11:42 am

5 more days until the big day and I'm still getting things finalized. I have to make arrangements for my daughter, my grandmother, and my dog. Not to mention my house is a mess and I feel like I'm going 75 mph. This week without my daugter has helped in me getting a few things done but I can't lie, I rarely get to go out so I've been stepping out almost every day this week with friends. Well no more this tonight class and home only, I have got to get some cleaning done and make everything ready for when my grandmother comes. I also have to start my liquid diet soon....Owww Joy. I'm coming to terms I won't be able to eat a certain way for a while, so I've gone overboard with going out to eat. But the strange thing is I havent really had much of an appitite. BUMMER. Will keep you guys updated on my progress.

My Story

My name is Brittany and I've pretty much been overweight my whole life. It started with me being a chunky kid, I lived with my grandmother and food was always in abundance at our house. Cookies, cakes, pies, she alway had something. I remember sneaking food, eating a full course meal, sneaking more food. It was crazy because all I would do in the summer was eat and watch TV. No wonder by the time I got to highschool, I was over 200lbs. By this time I moved with my father in Dallas and my he is also rather large. My stepmom however not so much and she encouraged (forced) me to work out. She would moniter my food intake and make me exercise. I hated it I realize her intent was good but I felt like a prisinor. Although I did lose about 40 lbs. I was able to wear a size 20/18 and my Senior pic I looked rather good. But going into college I gained the Freshman 15 plus my roomates 15. Also that Summer I got pregnant with my daughter and finally hit my 300lbs. I finally got tired of being heavy and unhappy and started to work out. I did pretty good also I worked out during lunch as well as when I got off work and did manage 20lbs. The Summer of 07 however my best friend Keisha died and it took alot out of me. I stated back eating whatever it is I wanted and also stopped working out. So here I am today at my heaviest 337. I decided to go ahead and get the gastric sleeve for two reasons, 1) I'm still on my mothers insurance and they cover 90% of my surgery. 2) I'm ready to be the cute sexy girl and not just the cute sexy big girl. I plan to keep you guys updated but we shall see how good I do with this. My surgery is scheduled for Feb. 22nd...I CAN'T FLIPPIN WAIT....YES
