Hello and an iPhone app question



Recommended Posts

Thought I'd post a quick hello from a newbie. I met with my surgeon on 7/13 and have just started the three-month diet/exercise program required for insurance. The family is on board and DH is going to join me in the diet program (although he won't be giving up caffeine, the old coot!).

Does anyone out there have any specific iPhone apps that they use to help keep track of diet and/or exercise?

Can't wait to meet others here!

Welcome and congratulations! This forum has helped me immensely. I use the sparkpeople iphone app to track stuff, but I am sure there are others out there. I use sparkpeople.com for the indepth stuff and the iphone app for tracking Water and little things.

I use lose it to track food and weight and I use mapmyrun for exercise (its good for walking and biking too) it tells you how long, how far and lots of other stuff.

I loved the free app called "Lose It." It let you set loss goals, daily calorie intake, and input your RMR/BMR.

Then you add foods and activity from their food and exercise bank which was really really extensive. You could also add custom foods and exercise.

I removed it from my phone and now use LapBand.com and Skinnyr.com to track my weight loss as I am not needing to really focus on my activity and calories as much now.

I downloaded the LiveStrong app and I really like it! It seems to do everything that I need as far as diet and fitness.

Thanks!

      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.
