Lapband.com

It is easy to use - also has a weight counter, an appointment counter and is designed specifically for the lap band patient - and of course - it is free!

Cast another vote for Fitday. I've been using it for a long time, and really like it.

Tried fitday and was ah ok. Looked at LapBand.com and that was good and it uses fitday as its food tracker. Is there some secret to getting the food search to not be so vague. Yogurt has like a million ones and if you put in the name "Dannon" nothing. No sure I like this. I was able to eat grits but to find the ones I ate: grits, instant, butter flavor, cooked with water; ah nope the closest one is not even close to the nutritional values on the box which of course I do not carry around with me when I get to log on at work. Is it best to just custom enter foods. I was hoping to be able to look up foods w/o having a chart there. When i tried that for grilled chicken breast oh the choices and to just do chicken breast was like 7 Protein is that right. I thought chicken/meat was a good source of protein. I am so confused.

I have used FitDay and DailyBurn in the past and I love them both. However my heart currently belongs to Daily Plate via Livestrong. I have yet to stump their database! Other than that, they're all kinda the same - but I particularly like that with Daily Plate, below the food input dialogue box, a couple of articles auto-generate based on what you're eating and I have found some very good information this way! Sometimes it's recipes for Snacks, sometimes it's concerns over too much Protein, sometimes it's exercise related, but it's always educational.

I have yet to use the exercise tracking portion of Livestrong though; I'm only six days post-op so I've got a few weeks before I can really get into it again. Not sure how it compares to DailyBurn, which I found lacking.

Daily Plate and DailyBurn both have iPhone apps and possibly Blackberry/Android as well.

I'm using lapband.com but liked fitday and sparkspeople. I just dont want to switch and I like being able to log in my fill appointments and keep a graph of my weight. I use calorieking.com to enter in my recipes and get the calorie counts.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
