I had my gallbladder taken out on April 2nd. Since then I have lost 13lbs. My extra weight caused a lot of complications. My doctor ended up slicing my liver and I now have some nasty scars because of the extra equipment that had to go in to repair it. All because I have such a massive fat stomach. I am only 25 and I never want to be in a situation like that again. So with that 13 lb loss, I know my tracker says two but I haven't updated my highest weight yet, I am ecstatic. I am hoping to lose twenty by July 25th because that is when my husband comes home from Saudi Arabia. I just need a little recognition if anyone has some to spare!

    Good for you! Keep tracking and you'll keep losing! The key is to eat a variety of healthy food and not to deprive yourself of some treats, as long as you count them in your tracking. That way you don't want to give up, and you feel excited about what you're doing and accomplishing! Keep it up and you'll be a success. I bet you'll be down more by July!!!

    that is amazing! I have pretty much the same scar, nice 10 inches across my stomach, but the smaller I get the less I notice it
