Hello fellow sleeve members! It's been a month since I last posted telling you all that I was expecting our third child! It's been a month full of nausea, but managed easily with meds. Thank heavens! Something that scared me the most was that I was nauseous for months after my surgery and I was scared to feel that again. I'm on Phenegran and it works well for me.
So onto the BIG NEWS!!!!!!
I was up all Sunday night with cramping. No spotting, just uncomfortable cramps.

I celebrated my one year anniversary on Thursday. I had felt off the past week, and found out why.
I took a pregnancy test Valentines Day morning and low and behold I'm expecting my third child! We wanted to start trying in January, but with my previous child it took 9 months to conceive and we expected at least a few months of trying. But, I guess this 152 lb lighter person is healthier and more fertile hahaha
My due date is October 24th, will see a doctor

Here's a little history:
Pre-Op: 336 lbs
Current Weight: 184
Total Weight Lost: 152
Celebrate my one year mark tomorrow!
I can't lose these last 20-30 lbs to save my life!! With my intense workouts I'm not seeing my scale budge. Although my actual body is shrinking and tightening. With such a high weight loss in a years time extra skin is a huge painful reality. Taking that in to account I wonder if the body just reaches a point where it's content.
