iPhone owners: Lap band app!



Recommended Posts

Hi

Not sure if this is old news... but I just randomly searched for a lap band app on my iPhone and surprisingly it came up with 3 apps!!!! They all pretty much do the same.... BMI, weight tracking, fill tracking, but the barimate seems so cool. You can add pics straight from your iPhone for progress, you get an image projecting what you might look like for inspiration, etc etc etc!

I am STOKED!:tongue2::unsure:

I saw those too they are 3.99, 4.99 and 9.99. After reading the reviews I decided I wouldn't spend the money. I went with the two free apps: Sparkpeople and MyNetDiary. MyNetDiary is also on the computer if you don't have a iPhone or Droid. I like MyNetDiary because it is user friendly, I can calculate my food intake w calories, make notes ect. I think you can even have pics. I think??? The reviews on it was way better than the paid apps. It doesn't have specifics for your fills, but that is what I'm going to use the note section for.

Here are the name of the " lap band" apps: My Band Fill-$3.99, Band Genius-$4.99, BariMate-$9.99 and iGastric Band-$3.99. Please go over the reviews befor you purchase. I absolutely love the app MyNetDiary. It's a free app and it has a log for my food, exercise, Water intake and otherthings. It has a spot to do you own notes and a place for pictures. And one of my favorite things is it is FREE!!! It has pretty good reviews. I'm not sure if these apps are available on the Droid....

I've been using MyFitnessPal and it's been GREAT!!! It has a huge variety of food choices, even off the wall places I didn't expect and it lists all the dietary info about them! It's great for keeping tabs on your calories AND especially your Protein. Did I mention it's FREE?!?! I LOVE it and finding it very helpful to look at the big picture of what I'm eating!!!

      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.
