Going to keep this short. Over two years now and sitting at 188 lbs, give or take a few. I am pretty steady with my weight and no big problems. Several months ago I did have a gallbladder scare but all is good so far. Really wanting a mommy make over. Loose skin isn't horrible but between having a baby and losing 100+ lbs, my stomach definitely has extra that is visible to me when bending over or laying on my side. Breasts are a little flatter but again between breastfeeding and weight loss, I feel they could be worse. I am still a 36DDD and wear a size 10 pant (I am basically 6ft) and size large top. One of my best friends had a revision from band to sleeve and she has lost another 80 lbs since revision (50 from her band) in the last 15 months!

1 Year Post Op Update!!

lsmom
Greetings from Colorado! It's hard to believe I celebrated 1 year post op this past weekend. I am blown away at the changes in my life. Before starting this journey I was weighing 294 pounds but my highest weight was 302 pounds. That completely blows my mind that I had weighed that much at one point in my life considering I had been an athlete growing up. I ended up doing 15 days of the pre-op diet and had weighed 277 pounds approximately the day of surgery. Well since my surgery a year ago, I have developed a passion for hiking in the beautiful Rocky Mountains and over the summer would easily hike an average of 14 miles on the weekends plus running / walking throughout the week. I definitely had my periods of feeling stuck but then out of nowhere the scales would move again! This lead to 100 pounds down in 1 year and I'm now sitting at 194 pounds with a BMI of 27. Now my goal is to lose another 25 pounds and really work on toning this body back up but I am already thrilled with the woman I am today! Thank you!

By the way, the dress is my prom dress from high school!
