Rhonda, After I posted my reply back to you I checked out your profile. Kind of backwards probably, but anyway. Your site is beautiful too, I really love the hearts!! I am a newbie to this site too and am kind of in the same boat as you, having to wait 6 months. I don't know if you read my profile that explains why. So my surgery won't be until March or April of 2007. I too am dieting because they recommend you lose 10% of your weight before WLS. So I have cut way back on my portions, cut out all the junk (especially sugar because I am diabetic and was being really bad about it :( and just making better choices. And making my family do it to so the junk isn't here to tempt me. I still have a few lower suger things for them, but not a lot. I have lost 11 lbs so far and I do feel way better, especially without the sugar and having normal blood sugars again! I would love to be your buddy going through this if you want one. Email me off of my profile if you do. I wish you the best of luck and I will keep watching your progress no matter what. God bless you with your journey, I will be praying for you!
P.S. Sucks about the BF!!!! Men!!!!! Take care, Becky
