Today (3/5) is my two year surgiversary!

[sleevie.wonder 306]

Today marks two years since my gastric sleeve surgery. It seems like only yesterday I was posting about my one year surgiversary!

I started this journey at 320 lbs. At one year out I was down 135 lbs, weighing 185. Three months later I found out I was pregnant! Long story short, my new baby daughter is 2.5 weeks old and she is just lovely!

I gained 20 lbs during my pregnancy, and at 2.5 weeks after having her I'm already back down to my pre-pregnancy weight. Guess it was all baby and Water weight! So at 2 years out I am still down 135 lbs weighing 185. My goal this year is to lose the last 15 or so lbs.

It would be amazing to get a Tummy Tuck at some point. Especially after having a baby, I've got a bit of loose skin.

It's amazing what this surgery has done for my life. I make healthier eating choices as second nature now. I have not had soda in two years (and don't miss it!) I'd say my tummy can fit around a cup or so of food before I start getting full. Sometimes I can fit more, sometimes not. It depends on how long it's been since I've eaten.

Thanks for reading. I still love my sleeve after two years and have zero regrets. Let me know if any questions!

What a wonderful two years you've had. Congrats on the baby and your surgiversary! It's awsome that you were able to return to your pre-pregnancy weight.

Good luck with the last 15lb.

This is an amazing success story! I was at the same starting weight and down 120 lbs at 11 months out now. Had a bit of a stall, but I know that things will pick up again. How was your pregnancy with the surgery? I am wanting / hoping to get pregnant close to my one year mark, so wondering how your body did with tha.Thanks for sharing.

First off I apologize for taking so long to get back to you!

Pregnancy was a breeze. My bariatrician put in my record as high-risk, but my OB considered me the opposite. He said I was considered low-risk since I no longer was obese (and this is coming from a high-risk dr!) My blood pressure stayed low the entire time. I very much enjoyed "looking" pregnant and having such a cute baby belly! With my first I was large so I never looked pregnant. I took a regular prenatal with Iron and my levels were fine throughout. I've been breastfeeding for three months now so things have been fine with that as well.
