Of course you can join dlfo122quilting (Where did you get that name). I too hope you are feeling better, but I think that two surgeries are far too drastic a way to diet! Please eat something soon so that you don't become a shadow of your former self!
Anyway, since this is such a lovely forum/board, I don't think we can really exclude anybody, it wouldn't be fair, would it? What does everybody else think?
