Happy Sunday all! Hope you’re all doing well on your journeys, regardless of where you are 😊 I was just wondering what some of your favorite apps are for weight loss and tracking your progress throughout the wls process. I have a Fitbit so I use that app and MyFitnessPal is good for tracking what I eat. But are there any other apps you like in particular (Bariatric-related apps or non-bariatric related)? I have a tentative surgery date for 12/12, and want to get all my ducks in a row beforehand!

Hi is there anyone from the Chicago area on this site?:-) would love to chat with you guys😊

Baritastic! It's specifically for bariatric patients and let's you track your water, protein, vitamins, etc. You can set reminders/timers and it has a surgery countdown.

Frustr8, you always have such a great attitude! I really appreciate you!

The stall officially broke yesterday and I'm down to 234! So 3lbs lost in 2 days! HALLELUJAH!

@fluffychick This is great. I also try to say no then provide some type of assistance similar to the last bullet (ex. I can't, but can I suggest some people who might be able to help you? or I can't now, but will have time [fill in the blank: next week, month, year, etc or would you like to strategize on how you can best manage your time to accomplish this (ha!)...)

You have your answer. Cut the carbs, track your food. Weigh, measure, and eat appropriately. Quit filling up on empty carbs. It's very simple. The docs know and prescribe as they do because they know what works. Dense FILLING protein first, low glycemic veg next, healthy fats (not too much), and a tiny bit of fruit or IF necessary, a bite or two of carbs at the very last.

I think you have to do what’s right for you. If staying away from thanksgiving altogether this year is best, then do that. You need to be a little selfish and take care of you : )

This tickled me this morning...thanks!

I did the UIC program. They were great! 3 years out next month. Southern suburbs.
