Hi, I just found this site last week. I have been lurking around reading posts and profiles. I thought it was about time I introduced myself. I had my surgery at the end of May. I have lost 73 lbs at my last weigh in. I try to only weigh about once a month unless I see the doctor. My husband put the scale under the couch. He will only pull it out on the first of the month for me. If he leaves it out I weigh about 3 times a day! I wasn't the best at taking my vitamins until my labs came back. I have been very good ever since. My albumin and folic acid was low and my liver enzymes were up. I had a gallbladder ultrasound and I have accrued some sludge. It was spotless before surgery. I have no symptoms so I am hoping for the best. I have broken down my weight into groups - my diabetes weight(70 lbs - gone!), quit smoking weight, freshman 15 (more like 25), after baby weight, pregnancy weight, and I'm married now weight. I would like to lose the quit smoking weight be Christmas - a lofty goal! I am really going to have to step up the exercise to make it. I am hoping this site will keep me motivated. Anyway, that is enough boring info about me. It is nice to meet you all. I hope we become friends. 7
