Is there a good electronic food journal that you can get that automatically calculates calories and or carbs? What journals are you all using and do you have to manually enter the nutritional information? I know there are websites that you can enter a food and it list the calories, carbs, sugars and other nutitional facts. I am trying to find a good journal and curious what everyone is using.

Thanks.

I am using myfitnesspal.com You plug in the food whether its a name brand or supermarket brand and 99% of the time, it is in the database. It calculates calories, Protein, carbs & fat. I track my exercise also. You can add to the database if you come across a food that is not in there and you can add actual recipes. I love it. I track on my ipad, iphone and my Mac!

I am a big fan of Spark People. I stopped tracking for awhile but I am going back to using it soon. It would be a good idea to have something electronic to keep record I can show my nutritionist.

I love fatsecret.com as well- I use it on computer, phone, and iPad! I also use sparkpeople to compute the nutritional value of recipes.< /p>

      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.
