Protein/Calories Trackers...



Recommended Posts

I'm going to be sleeved on April 26 (pending my approval...which I should hear today or tomorrow) and was wondering what food trackers do you all use? Do you use a website? An App? A spreadsheet? A journal?

I would love to know which one you use and why you like it so I may begin to use one!

I tried out all of them and settled on myftinesspal.com For me, it was the most user friendly, and had all the food values correct. I never had an issue finding any food or Protein product in their database. Plus, they have a free App for my iPhone so it was a win win situation.

After checking them all out- I went with myfitnesspal.com. So easy to use and I'm surprised by all the foods in their database.

I use Lose It on my iphone and it was a free app. You don't have to set up an acct to use it. But you can if you want to use it on your pc too.

I have a lot of the other ones on my iphone too, but i like this one for the simplicity.

I think the fat secret one has a barcode scanner and enters info from your foods which is cool too and it's a free app also.

The one thing that bugs me is the way my fitness pal tells you that you have not eaten enough when you complete a day- obviously not set up for weight loss surgery people. I like fat secret a lot and use it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
