Do you have a plan.....I've been faithfully using MyFitnessPal....it was suggested from a friend (sleevedandbeautiful).....it works I can see what she's eating and she can see what I'm eating and exercising...it holds me accountable...let me know if you're on MFP.

I got my date today. I will be on Jan 14, 2013. I notice my fitness pal is listed a lot. I use "loseit" and I can't recommend it enough, I find it easier to use.

Mizzzliza I'm in Cali (northern). My surgeon is Dr. Lee at Valleycare hospital in Pleasanton.

Great to know others are so close to me! My surgeon is dr. Grinberg in south sac kaiser.

Hi everyone, I will be an January 2013 slleever also. Im not sure of when, no date yet, but will be seeing my surgeon next Thursday. According to my patient advocate, its about 3 weeks after meeting with the surgeon, so I should be looking around the 25th, 26th.

My surgery date is Jan 8th, I start the pre-op diet on Jan 1. I'm excited and scared, hoping for no complications. My biggest fear right now is being surrounded by friends, family and co-workers who have either a nasty cold or the flu!

I know if I get sick before the surgery it will likely cause a delay. Anyone else concerned now that we're just days away from the big day?

Blue star mom, me too!!!! Oh my gosh I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one. I have 10 people in my house. 5 grown kids, 2 grand kids, a friend of my sons and my husband and I. It seems like somebody has been sick for the last few months. I had a dry cough yesterday a couple of times. Just a little tickle in my throat and I'm freaking out! I am taking robitussin daytime and instead of adding crystal light to my Water I'm adding airborne, just to try and cover my bases. I really wish I could go into hibernation for the next 2 weeks! So scared my surgery is gonna get cancelled.

My surgery is on the 2nd and my daughter have been sick since Saturday... I asked her pediatrician if she had any tip on how I could avoid getting sick and she told me to wash my hands everytime after I play with my daughter and don't let her cough on my mouth, noose or eyes. So far so good... I hope this tip helps you.

Got the call last night my insurance was approved <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Day 2 of pre op diet and i knew it would be hard and it is. I did day one without cheating and i plan on day 2 being difficult but achievable.

Congratulations!!!! I still remember the feeling when I was told I was approved

Yes,this is my second day on this pre-op diet. Are you on a full or clear liquid diet? I'm on a full liquid and wondering if ice cream is okay to eat.

[chosen1 15]

Im on the pre-op diet too...although i wish it were on the list, I don't think ice cream is on the full liquid list (at least not mine).... Only b/c of the amount of sugar/carbs it has. Light/non fat/ yogurt is a great substitute.
