You look great! I'm so glad that your revision went well! Keep up the good work! Kristy EDD 8/6/06 34w3d It's a girl - Alice Kay

Debra, you look great. Hopefully one day I can go sky diving just like you. The only sky diving I do is when jump off the dinning room chairs. Hey, atleast the chair doesn't brake anymore when I sit on them. Keep on looking great and take care.

OMG! You have gone skydiving....TWICE? I am so impressed and excited for you! What an awesome thing to do.....It's not on my "list," but I wouldn't turn down the opportunity, if some friends wanted to do it together. Sounds like a TON of fun! In Albuquerque, NM, I did the hot air balloon thing last year....and this year, I went to Scotland to visit my life-long pen pal. Both experiences were on my "life list" of things to do before I die. The list is much easier to check off when you're free from all the baggage of the weight, right??? Oh, you look just fabulous, sister, and I am thrilled at your success. Thanks for sharing the photos and keeping your profile up to date. ~Laura

can someone tell me on a typical day what everyone is eating? im worried i might be eating too much.....i was around 310 now im around 158-163 around that weight i havent gained i just been feeling bloated i feel fat but the scale isnt telling me i need to worry

Hi louis I too am guilty of not posting very often. Life has been hetic with another move and all. I have also been dealing with residuale and NEW complications from the surgery. Specificlly those related to diabeties.......... It seems that while the weight loss has a drastic and positive improvment in Blood glocose levels, this sudden and drastic change has NEGITIVE effects on the rest of the systems. specifically the eys.... The sudden "improvment" causes onset of diabetic retinopthy w/ macula edema.... in short. there is bleeding in my eye and it is causing a swelling of the center of the eye (macula). and this causes blindness............... So far I have had to have numerous laser treatment and now steriod injction ( YES IN the eye!) tHE BEST i CAN HOPE FOR IS A REDUCTION IN FUTURE SIGHT LOSS.... i WILL NEVER HAVE 100% EYE SIGHT AGAIN. For all of three months i was ULCER FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yet once again the ulcers have returned, with associated vomiting.... and problems of anirritated eshphagaus. I think if I knew the INCREASED PROBABILITY of BLINDNESS associated with the results of drastic weight loss I would have NOT had the surgery. I had the surgery to improve my diabeties... now i mafacing progressive blindness as well as a saggy body, and more stomach problems. I am glad so many other are doing so well. I continue to read the boards and wonder just how many others are still not doing well or having problems they were never told abot. Lisa.
