Thanks, Cira!
I'll check sparkpeople out. I hadn't heard of that one. One of my friends on the DS board just told me about this one today too! The other two seemed way too complicated. If sparkpeople doesn't seem more user-friendly I will just keep a written daily food and exercise journal. I just want to make sure I am staying within the guidelines I am supposed to after surgery, so I can lose as much weight as possible. It will help keep me honest with myself and get in enough protein water and vitamins. The thing I have to watch most is the simple carbs. I will still absorb 100% of those and have to keep them low. Even with the complex carbs I have to be careful because i will still absorb 60% of those I eat. You can tell I am getting primed and ready for surgery next month.

Keep me posted on what you think of sparkpeople. i really like it and I don't think it is hard at all.
You are doing your homework and that is great! I did the same, some people go in blindly to have this surgery and I believe that is wrong.
Hugs
