Hi Shirley,

Did anyone reply to you on this? The bar code scanner is on the phone app. I have the iphone, not sure if the droid version has it? But next to the search bar there is a little bar code looking button, you click on that and it turns on your camera. Then you basically put the barcode in view and it captures it and tells you the information of that item.

It's pretty neat :)

Happy Friday,

ZoeBug

Your the first to get back, so thanks !

I don't have a iphone, but I do have a phone with a camera in it.

Do you think it is possible for a standard phone/ with a camera to do the scanning? Just asking... Mine is by SAMSUNG.

Thanks, Shirley.

Hi Shirley.

I think for now only the iphone can do the scanner thing......that's what I have and I use that feature a lot!!!

Now if only all restaurants across the country had that feature on their menus online, it would be PERFECT!!!! I wouldn't have to rely on someone else's info!! :)

Your a Genius! Take that Idea, and have that Patented. Then go to the states and show how it works, and the Home Shopping Club, and Q V C. For the idea alone, you would be rich $$$$ Once they in the states see how easy it is to get your Health Info, just by scanning a bar code Label... That would put a end to all this stuff on the News, about how will they figure out everything on a new Menu ! Well you have the solution to a Billion Dollar Problem.

I am serious ! don't laugh, or think to long. If you know a Lawyer or have one in the Family. Explain how it can be done by just scanning, and every Restaurant will have to have a bar code label after the listing.. Then you can see everything with your phone. No problems for the waitress, cooks Restaurant etc. I think you could hit it big.....

Just try it and see. On my iPhone, there are tutorials (super helpful) in the "more" area. Not sure what phones it works on, but install it for free and see what you find :)

Shirley,

You have to have a "Smart Phone" like a Droid or an I-phone, one where you can download applications. A regular phone with a camera will not work. I'm in the same boat as you. I just have a regular phone.

      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.
