I'm having difficulty finding a *free* application that will allow me to enter my own nutritional guidelines (high protein/low carb) and then report my progress against my daily food log. Which electronic application do you use?

I've looked at several and it seems like they all want to charge me a membership fee if I want a daily report that compares my intake with custom designed goals.

Would you please let me know what you use? If it's not on the list, then reply to this message after pressing the <Vote> button and let me know what you use. I will add to the list as we go along.

It will be interesting to see what everybody uses. Don't forget to hit the <Vote> button.

Much obliged,

/P2P

I use "MyNetDiary" on my I-Pad2. It is fully loaded! Not rated very high because it costs $10 so many people are afraid to purchase it without knowing what they are getting.

Seems the free apps are the most popular.

Anyone that's using myfitnesspal can look at my diary. It's not always the best and don't use it as what you must do but I try. Feel free to friend me here and there. Same username.

Thanks to everyone for replying. I joined MyFitnessPal.com & you were all correct... it is easy to use. WayneF, I'm having the same trouble you are, but I suppose I can ignore the calorie thing? That's my plan anyway.

See you guys on MyFitnessPal.com!

      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.
