For those of you that are post-op how do you prefer to journal your food intake? Is there an app you really like (I have an iphone) or do you prefer the old fashioned way (pen/paper)? I prefer to make lists on pen and paper, but I want a system that is convenient so I make sure to record everything which might be easier with an app since I always have my phone with me.

I am PRE-op but have been journaling for a quite a while now. I like MFP. Tracks my calories, carbs, fat, Protein and exercise (syncs with my Bodymedia fit).. saves my favorite meals and foods for quick input AND as a super added bonus, you can add friends there if you want for the extra support factor.

I use my fitness pal on my iPhone. It's a free app and you can customize it to your nutrition requirements.

I use an app on my iPhone called calorie count..

I'm a loner..most people here use my fitness pal though... and seem to love it... I just don't like the way it tells me I'm not eating enough and will go into starvation mode, duh! :P

I also use myfitness pal, I especially like the bar code scanner on the app as it makes it so much easier to log.

I noticed that a lot of people use myfitnesspal.

For me I actually prefer fitbit, I have a fitbit scale, a fitbit body movement tracker, and a fitbit app on my phone.

It seems to be pretty much the same thing as myfitnesspal but... I think the interface is a lot nicer / better! :P

Yeah I agree....the app is great but I also get sick of reading how I'm in starvation mode and need to increase my calories....uhhhh!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
