Hi everyone. I'm currently in pre-op status with Kaiser, participating in my six months of education group before moving on to surgery. At this point, it looks like surgery will likely happen sometime in August. So I'm working on getting weight off in preparation for that time. If you are active in MFP, please feel free to friend me. Having more people "watching" keeps me accountable and honest. I've even become brave enough to open up my diary for other people to see what I'm eating. That's not something that's easy for me to do, but it has kept my food really clean.

Thanks for being here!
