New to this board

Hi, My name is Audra; I'm new to this board from the PostOp Pregnancy board. I'm 37, and live in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Happily married to my husband Matt for going on 10 years; although we've been together for 14 1/2. I have 2 daughters from my previous marriage, Ariann Felicia, 18 & Gabrielle Paige, 16; Matt & I have 2 daughters--Cassandra Jean, 12 & Emily Elisabeth, almost 6 months. I work full time as a Corporate Compensation Coordinator/Stock Options Administrator for a global electronics design/mfg/test company. I love to spend time with my family--we really enjoy boating and cooking. In my spare time (although I have forgotten what that is!) I enjoy reading, writing, scrapbooking & decorating. I had an Open RNY 8-7-03 and an abdomnioplasty 2-5-05. I'm 5'6", my highest weight was 275. My weight at surgery was 248, my goal was 140-145. I met & maintained goal before becoming pregnant. (Actually, I got down as low as 125, but that wasn't good for me, so I got 'er back up there!) I gained 47 lbs during my pregnancy, and have 12 left to lose to get back to my goal. Anyhoo, that's me in a nutshell. Nice to be here! Have a great day! Audra

Hi Audra I didnt know that you had abdomnioplasty. You have done very well on your WLS Im 5'5 and the lowest I could get was 147 and that was just for a second. Again you have done very well. I need to introduce myself and give more info like you have. Welcome Angel & Aiden

Audra- WELCOME Oshkosh??!! Way cool, they still have the annual fly-in?? Glad to have you here with us mommies!!!! -Jamie mommie to Hunter 5-22-06

Jamie, Thank you! Yep, we still have the annual fly-in. It just finished a couple weeks ago. Exciting! We also used to be the home of Oshkosh B'gosh bib overalls & jeans, but that manufacturing went overseas. We still have offices and retail here, though. Audra

Hey Audra!! Nice to see you over here!! Allie
