Hey guys, it's Brittney again just giving a little update!! I am currently 59 lbs lost and 6 weeks out of surgery! I can finally have toast!! I thought the liquid and purée stage was going to last forever Lol! I have a my fitness pal if you'd like to add my and watch my progress brittneyrench or even my Instagram _brittneyrench !! I had my surgery on 10/22 and it was the best decision of my life. I've set my goals high and my calories low... ahah I take in about 500 a day sadly my goal is 800.. and I run at least 3 miles a day I am so happy to be a little over a month out.. the thing I've noticed is not to worry about no movement on the scale because measurement wise there is always progress!! I have more energy than I have ever had.. the picture below is day before, 3 weeks out and 6 weeks out today! I wish I took a side profile picture prior to surgery !! fiddle sticks

it's so weird both my close family and I can hardly notice but people I haven't seen in a while are like BOOM :/

1) I want pizza 2) I want French fries 3) I want the pain from my heparin shots to go away 4) I'm afraid of the excess skins 5) I'm 6 days out and I've had 5 protien shakes and 1 bottle of water 6) I don't feel sick or nautious from this 7) my pillow is my best friend I carry it around my house 8) I never knew this would be so hard 9) during the pre op diet somedays I would do one shake and and 2 lean cuisines 10) I feel beautiful until I look in the mirror or see photos taken of myself.. I feel much smaller than I look and I look much smaller than I weigh

holy crap, the pounds are literally shedding off! since my pre op diet started and now my post op diet is continuing I have lost a total of 38 lbs. it's motivating me to push through this protein shake hell week !!! stay strong ladies and gents we've got this!

2-4 hours. good luck !!

every time I get up I feel as if my incisions are going to tear open I am in so much pain and terrified my surgery was 3 days ago...

had my surgery yesterday by dr, jeaninene Giovanni, and I'm not really in any pain anymore. the first night was torture though with gas pain! I can't wait to go home tomorrow does anyone know how long before I can sleep on my left side again.. I feel restless sleeping on my back :/

hm?

I was put on a two week pre op diet it isn't to do with insurance it's to help you! it is always best to loose weight prior to surgery and it is called a liquid diet so that you can shrink your liver.. for your own safety!!! my diet was: 3 Protein shakes a day.. with 2 flu stones complete chewable Vitamins and a dissolvable b12 under my tongue.. and I could also have 1 smart food/lean cuisine meal for dinner.. no tea, no juice, no soda, no energy or sports drink but at minimum 64oz of Water a day..

I'm from Attleboro ma! I was sleeved the 22nd in providence.. only 2 days out and still having panic attaxks
