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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
