Scheduled for the first day of summer. Diet starts on the 6th. Anyone else feel like they are saying goodbye to a lot of old friends? (Pizza, bread etc.) I realized I needed to do something when I would actually drive to a few different places to find the limited time mega Oreos.

I am also June 21st. Good luck to us! Yes, I am a little concerned about giving up some things, but from what I've read, it wont be forever and we can still enjoy our favourites within reason.

Guess the key is to define reason. Or to paraphrase Coleman in Trading Places. Food is a good thing taken in moderation.

I think I am am going to use a tracker like myfitnesspal. It will help to know how many calories I am consuming, especially on those days when I do have an old favourite.

I may been using myfitnesspal for some time. I killed my old account and opened a new one when I started the pre-op diet. (Day 5 and I haven't yelled at anyone or damaged physical property) I like it because it will also interface with the Fitbit activity tracker. Yes I am a gadget person..

Oh I love gadgets! I will have to look into fitbit. I have heard of it.
