Hey Katherine, Hows it going? Congrats on your surgery date - I am also October 1st (I've decided to measure in Fridays, six more to go). I weigh 395 right now with a first goal of 220lbs (thats what the doc thinks I should get down to easily) with an ultimate goal of 170lbs as well. I've met a few people on the boards that I really enjoy talking to but no one yet that I can do a day by day with - so I would be more than thrilled to chat with you and share this experience. Please feel free to email me if/when you get the time. Many blessings, rachel
