It's been a long, long while...

I think I'll always be fat.

I'm actually okay with that.

I was near 500lbs when I started this journey. My physical ability was nearly non-existent. Had I not had my sleeve, I would probably need motorized cars at stores at this point.

I've lost over 150lbs. My lowest weight was 317 at 2 years post op, and then.... I got pregnant!

See, life changed completely after my sleeve.

That is my biggest fear - besides loose skin. I'm so afraid to get pregnant right after losing a ton of weight. Were you on birth control?

Nope, I was not on birth control. I always assumed I couldn't conceive after years of trying when I was younger. But as they say, weight loss can jump start fertility!

We weren't trying, but we were using the pull out method as prevention, which OBVIOUSLY isn't reliable. BUt because I thought I couldn't get pregnant, I didn't think it was a big deal. But lo and behold, I CAN GET PREGNANT!

I have an IUD now, to be safe.
