I have learned, I have grown, I have shrunk, I have bloomed, I laughed, I have cried, I have changed, I have had EASY days, I have had TOUGH days, I have more energy, I have been tired, I have worked out nearly every day (since I was released by my surgeon to start exercising) I am proud, I have received double takes ("Wait ... Is that Britt?"), I have enjoyed this journey, I have been frustrated, I have cheered for someone on OH, I have been cheered for, I have participated in a relay race and ran 6 miles, I have played with my children like never before, I have been smiling a lot more, I have lost hair, I have gained confidence, I have been blessed (again and again) !!!!! I can go on and on endlessly.
Thanks for you support, your cheers and your knowledge :) YOU all have been so helpful
hugs,
Britt

Britt! You go, girl!!!!
I remember last year when you were nervous about having the surgery especially with 3 little girls at home and it's gone by so fast, hasn't it?
You have embraced your tool and made such a difference in your life and consequently in the lives of others (your husband, your daughters, your family, your friends, OH people). You are an inspiration to keep on keeping on and fighting the good fight.
You are at goal, but it's just another step on the path. I feel we are all works in progress and continue to grow and evolve. I wish you continued success and much joy as you continue to evolve and progress and grow.
Take care,
Sue
You have to stay in shape. My grandmother, she started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 today and we don't know where the hell she is. - Ellen DeGeneres

Hiya Britt,
Congrats! I got the chills reading your post.
You are a perfect example of what happens when our "tool" is used correctly!
Don't ever stop using it the right way and following the rules of WLS!
Isn't amazing how much better "Life on the other side" is?
Keep smiling and I hope to see you at the next LIPO meeting.
