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!

Happy 2 year surgiversary!! You have accomplished great things. Congrats on your new baby.

Congrats both for the baby and also for keeping it off.

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.

Keep up tremendous effort you have made so far.

Congratulations for the birth of your child.

Congratulations that is a great story and gives me alot of hope for surgery. I am also interested in hearing how your pregnancy worked after the surgery

I hope to be able to brag about HALF of your major successes on my second surgiversary this coming August.

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.
