UPDATED PICS, WOW MOMENTS & INFO

BOY, WAS I BEHIND ... I HADN'T DONE ANYTHING ON MY PROFILE FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS, BUT I GOT IT ALL CAUGHT UP. CHECK OUT MY NEW PIC AT THE BEGINNING OF MY PAGE WHERE I HAVE 4 PICS FROM 1999 TO THE PRESENT. NICK SAYS THAT I'M GETTING MY "1999 FACE" BACK. OTHER THAN THE TURKEY NECK, I'M PRETTY SATISFIED WITH THE CHANGES. THEN, CHECK OUT MY COMPARISON PICS FROM 1/05 WHEN I LOST 50 #s WHICH WERE GOOD, BUT THEN LOOK AT MY NEWEST COMPARISON PICS FROM WHEN I LOST 75 #s IN MAY 2005 ... OH MY GOSH, WHAT A DIFFERENCE. LIKE MOST OF YOU, I DON'T "SEE" MYSELF AS "SMALL" AS I'VE BECOME BUT WHEN I LOOKED AT MY 75 # SIDE VIEW, I ABOUT FELL OFF THE CHAIR; THERE IS SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT. WHOAH NELLY! TOO COOL!!!!!!!!!!! I ALSO ADDED A PIC OF NICK WITH HIS NEW BEST BUDDY, MISS NATASHA. I ADDED A TON OF WOW MOMENTS, NEW INFO & SUCH ... HOPE Y'ALL ENJOY! ... THERE'S THE WEBSITE ADDRESS FOR DYMATIZE ELITE WHEY POWDER AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE ... WEBSITE ADDRESS IN THE MIDDLE OF MY PAGE WHERE THERE IS A VIDEO CONFERENCE ON THE RISKS OF WLSurgery (BEFORE & AFTER SURGERY) ... EVEN BEING ALMOST 7 MONTHS POST-OP, I FOUND IT VERY, VERY INFORMATIVE ... THERE'S INFO & AN ARTICLE ON OUR POUCHES BEING EFFECTIVE FOR ABOUT 18 MONTHS ... 18 MONTH WLS WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY ... VERIFIED BY MY SURGEON, DR BYRNE ... IMPORTANT MEDIC ALERT WLS INFO & SOME WEBSITE ADDRESSES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE (I JUST GOTTA GET A BRACELET FOR BOTH NICK & I!!!!) ... AN UPDATE FROM THOSE MISERABLY FRUSTRATING 14 WEEKS WHERE I WAS LOSING ONLY ABOUT 1 # A WEEK (THANK GOD THAT HAS IMPROVED) IS TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF MY UPDATES &, I'VE ADDED ALL MY 2006 INFO & STATS TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE. I'VE NEVER BEEN ONE TO WRITE A JOURNAL, BUT I GOTTA SAY, AFTER MY LCBBuddy SUPPORT GROUP FRIENDS & ALL OF Y'ALL ON THESE BOARDS, MY PROFILE JOURNAL REALLY KEEPS ME BALANCED ... I GO BACK & RE-READ IT A LOT! THANK YOU ALL MY WLS FRIENDS. GOD BLESS Y'ALL DAWN & NICK

You look GREAT!!!!!!! WOW!! what a big change!!!! Celia

Thank you sweet lady. I was shocked, Ms Celia ... Pleasantly so, of course. I can't wait to hit the "Century Mark" & see the difference then. When I put up my new posting picture, several of the ladies on the SC board didn't recognize me ... I could have kissed them!

You are looking FANTASTIC!!!! Congrats on your hard work and a very nice profile. -Laura

THANK YOU, MS LAURA. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ONE TO "JOURNAL" BUT I'M SO GLAD I DID THROUGH THIS JOURNEY. IT'S REALLY HELPED ME STAY IN, OR ... REGAIN MY BALANCE THROUGHOUT THIS AWESOME EXPERIENCE! GLAD YOU ENJOYED MY PROFILE. I JUST READ IN YOURS THAT YOU'VE BEEN ASKED TO ASSIST WITH A SUPPORT GROUP HELPING OTHERS THROUGH THEIR WLS JOURNEY ... THAT IS FANTASTIC!!!! GOOD FOR YOU FOR GIVING SOMETHING BACK TO OTHERS!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MS GINA. I JUST REALIZED THAT YOUR HUBBY ALSO HAD WLS (DAH-UHHH, SORRY FOR THAT BRAIN FART!). I LOVE YOUR "US NOW" PICTURE; YOU BOTH GOT A NEW LEASE ON LIFE TOGETHER. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR PRE-SURGERY PICS & YOUR CURRENT ONES ... WHAT AN AMAZING TRANSFORMATION! DO YOU HAVE MORE CURRENT PICS TO POST? FORGET 1999 ... I'M GONNA REVERSE MYSELF ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE 1970s WHEN I WAS IN MY 20s IN MY PRE-FAT DAYS! &&&, NOTHIN' CAN STOP ME NOW!
