Hi everybody: I just realized that I have had so much time without update my profile... Well I am now nine and a half months out of surgery... Yesterday I went to visit Bety my WLS nutritionist... she was impresed with my look... she really made me feel good.... she just released me; I have no necessity to follow up any more treatment from the bariatric center... she adviced me to follow up a 1800 calories diet... she told me to well balance my diet to avoid any bounce up... which I do not pretend to do... I am less than a year out of surgery and am practically in my targert weight... I weighted 194 today in the morning... my target is 184... 10 more pounds to go... and 10 bellow my nutritionist target. Honestly I could give a damn for those 10 pounds to go... I am feeling so fine now... no hanging skin... no secondary effects... just enjoying my life... By the way... I am starting to harvest the fruits of my job... I am looking a light at the end of the tunnel... I hope I will be out of economic trouble very soon... I hope in God that every thing will come as I am planning... a Brief summary of my statistics would be: Weight : Before: 305 After: 194 BMI : Before: 43 After: 27 Pants size: Before: 50 After: 36 % of Fat Before: 58% After: 24% You will find some updated pictures of me at the end of my profile... any feedback is always welcome... God Bless all of you.... Best Regards Alejandro from Guadalajara Mexico

Thank you God Mother... I am happy to know that you are doing fantastic too... how was your eye surgery? how is your diabetes doing?? I hope you are out of lots of medications so far... hugs and love this way too... Alejandro from Guadalajara Mexico

Hi again Alex My eye surgery is coming up soon. It's on October 12. I have to go to the hospital next Friday for what they call pre-registration. They will do all the preop tests and I will talk with the anestigiologist. It will be outpatient and I should be home that afternoon. I had the same surgery in May of 2005 on my right eye and it went very well. So as odd as it sounds, I am looking forward to this and the improvement that I hope it will give my vision. Thanks for thinking of me. Sending you hugs, Ronna

My prayers are on theyre way for a successful surgery Godmother... My best wishes for you... Alejandro from Guadalajara Mexico
