Re: Food Tracker



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone, I hear about how good it is to keep track of how much you eat. I need some idea of where to do this. Does Lap Band have a food Tracker??

I use fitday.com. I think that the official LB site, once you sign up for My Lap-band journey they have a food log you can use and print out for doctor appointments. It is fitday too. There is also caloriecount.com and nutritiondata.com (you can make your own recipes). Fitday and nutritiondata are both free. I haven't signed up for caloriecount, but I think it is free.

Also you can just use a notebook if you didn't want to do it on a computer. Just make columns for quantity, food, calories, and Protein, fat, carbs. Or whatever it is you are wanting to keep track of. I used to use a notebook (before they had the sites) to track sodium, cholesterol, Fiber, calories, mood, time, Protein, carbs, fat, and quantity.

Some people use a spreadsheet program.

I found that I am more compliant with tracking when it is a website.

I am using myplate.com I found it on livestrong.com. It is free. I still eat to go food alot and have found that they have most of the nutritional information on there. I really like it.

I also use www.livestrong.com's my plate every day. I track my food and calories burned via exercise. It is great and keeps me accountable.

I use, and am pretty happy with: Calorie Counter Database - Free Online Diet Program

I really like the recipe analyzer. You can input the recipes you use the most and it breaks it down for you with a nutrition label. You can also track your activity on th activity log.

      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
