Starting my seventh week since being sleeved - Looking for food tracking apps



Recommended Posts

I starting my seventh week since being sleeved and I'm seeing some significant changes. I've dropped 54 lbs since my pre-op weigh-in and 73 lbs from my high weight when I made my decision to start down this path. I'm also seeing some slowing in the decline of my quick weight loss of the first of the few weeks as I've moved into regular foods. If only it would continue but I understand the process. I'm beginning to add some exercise into my routine (3-5 mile walks) so I know this will help my metabolism.

I'm using an app for my Blackberry to track the foods I eat called Calorie Counter by Fat Secret. It gives me Protein counts and seems to have almost every kind of food out there. Any one try this app or other apps? Tips for tracking? I'm always looking for tips and this forum seems to have a lot of motavated and creative people.

I use Myfitnesspal.com as well, and I have the app on my Droid X. I love it. At first I just wrote down everything I ate in a notebook, but this is soooo much easier. I love being able to track calories, Protein, carbs, sugar, everything, and you can go back to any date, even look at graphs. It also has a thing where you can scan barcodes and it puts the info in, I have only come across a few foods that it didn't find.

I just got an update to my Calorie Counter app and now it has ADS on the screen! I hate spam. I checked out the app you all recommended and they don't have it for Blackberry so I'll have to wait but it looks good.

I love myfitnesspal.com on my DroidX.

I downloaded on my wife's EVO. It looks pretty good.

I started using myfitnesspal on the recommendation of others on this Board and I love it too! It does have a Blackberry app now too. It's very easy to use.

I use Tap & Track on the iPhone. Very helpful app. It comes with a database, the ability to add custom foods, restaurant nutritional data, etc. Tracks weight, Protein, calories, carbs, everything but Water. It charts your info too.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
