I just bought a smart phone. Any suggestions on phone apps that track carbs/calories?

Thanks in advance

My fitness pal. It's a great app! You can have friends on there, and lots of people from VST use it.

I had the same issue. Got a cat scan nothing. Turned out to be gastritis. I went on omaprazole 20g daily. By day 4 I was 70% better.

Good luck

I already take that and this is my lower abdomen so I dont know what to think of that I take 40 mg a day and I take it faithfully besides I had acid reflux even before the surgery so its something else

Great job! I know what you are saying. I really wanted to hit 70 by 4 months, but I was 69 down until the day after! I'm just glad it's gone :)

My hair just started to fall out in the last few weeks. :-( I just went and chopped it yesterday so at least I won't have mile long hairs everywhere! Lol

My hair has been falling out for a while... like half of it has fallen out so far. I know I'm not getting enough Protein, Fluid or Vitamins and I'm working on it but ugh it's scary to pull handfuls of hair all day long. I just try not to touch it anymore lol

A lot of my weight loss surgery friends use Nioxin shampoos to help with the hairloss. I haven't persoanlly tried it though. You can go to their website and take a survey to figure out with hair product system would work the best for you.

Amazon has it the cheapest.

As for Hair loss, I was experiencing it very badly... I actually was reccomended Loreal's Everpure Thickening Shampoo... Since Ihave been using it my hair loss has stopped for the most part. It slowed down after the second wash and stopped after about a week...

      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. 🤞
