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

      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.
