OK after looking at ALL the pictures I see that Malibu was there, who else was there from the July board? How is Malibu doing? She never posts anymore! I wish she would come back. BTW......I love the ones of you and Peter dancing and the ones of you and your dad (I'm assuming he's your dad, he's in a lot of the pictures) So glad this worked out for you and Peter, it just goes to show that life does go on after WLS.

Thanks, Julyers for the comments and emails. My teeth are all out, 3/4 healed, and Margery has rediscovered the joys of creamy souffle-making with vegs and cheeses. So much better than babyfood! I've tried to increase my caloric intake as I'll lose major weight during the radio/chemo. It takes alot for me to dump so I've added sweets. I gained 6 pounds over a month but lost most of it last week after they surgically implanted a feeding tube for when swallowing gets rough. That op was to be lap, but I've got a 4 1/2 in*****ision (rny scar tissue precluded the lap). I was sore for some days and I rekindled a friendship with percoset. I'll also use it when the radio gets painful. The pouch is fine: they placed the tube in my jujunum (sp). It works well. We'll use it full time after a few weeks of radio. Radio stars next Monday. I'll report back in a few weeks. I'm ready to rumble!!! Dave

Deb- thank you! By the way I love the new picture!

I still drink at least 1-2 shakes a day. I just like that fact that most protein shakes don't have alot of calories and I really enjoy them.

Simply beautiful! Maria 272/155/141 pre/goal/current
