Best way to keep track of food intake?



Recommended Posts

I'm post op day 2 and just got home and started my full fluids. What's the easiest way you've found to track what you're eating. Before surgery I used MyNetDiary but it seems annoying to keep entering such small amounts all day.

What have you guys done?

Myfitnesspal works for me. It also keeps track of Water consumed and exercise you've done.

Yep, me too! Myfitnesspal. I have the app on my phone so it makes tracking even little bits pretty easy.

I've never tried MyNetDiary. I have the MyFitnessPal app and I love it! The foods you tend to eat the most, it saves them for you and you literally just touch the bar with that food item and it is recorded. It also keeps track of any exercising that you do, calculating the additional number of calories you can consume because of the exercise. You can also keep track of your weight and your progress.

      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.
