Hi there! My name is Yvonne. I have had fitness pal before but this time will be different...yeah, yeah, I know...Ive said that SO many times before. This time I am having a gastric bypass in a little over 2 weeks, on June 12th. On June 5th I go on a liquid diet. I most likely wont use my diary until I start my liquid diet, but I wanted to get everything sat up and going that way I couldnt procrastinate! I am trying to get friends/supporters so I have to be held accountable. Weight loss surgery is not a cure, but it is a tool. I must continue a healthy lifestyle even after I hit my weightloss goal so that I dont gain anything back. I am the biggest I have ever been in my entire life, Even when I was pregnant both times! I have battled drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, and soda and won those battles with willingness and support and I plan to battle my food addiction in the same manner!
Please add me so we can support each other!

    How's it going, Yvonne? I'm having the bypass on July 23rd. I'm totally down for support and comparing notes.
