Computer Journal or Diary



Recommended Posts

Hi all - I've been reading for awhile - I am about half way through my pre-op prep. Went to the nutrionist yesterday - super motivating. I expect to be ready by mid June if all goes well. My question is - is there a computer journal or diary that is easy to use that I can downloand from somewhere. The ones I have found on line are like for kids. I don't mind paying for it - is there one anyone uses?

I love www.myfitnesspal.com! Has an app for your iphone if you have one. Tracks food and exercise. Great tool, has been VERY helpful to me.

FitDay.com is free, and in addition to food and exercise, it has space for regular journaling, too. They have a program for the computer for a fee, but I don't use it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
