Better than myfitnesspal?

Does anyone have a tracker they like better than myfitnesspal? Why?

I like caloriecount.about.com

Free and personally I like the way that I can enter food. For almost every food there is serving, ounces, grams, tablespoons, calories, etc. And for foods like say "pretzel sticks" if the package says a serving is 48 of them, you can click (in cc) and change that to 10. Easy peasy.

There is also a free phone app that connects directly to my account so I can add foods from anywhere and there is a bar code scanner on the phone app to scan and enter a food that way. (Not ALL foods are there but a lot are.)

Also I've been using them since Jan. 2010 and I guess it's kind of like a grocery store the more you go the more you want to go back because you know where everything is.

I tried MFP a while back and wasn't a fan but I probably was too used to the way CC does things...

SparkPeople is quite good and it tracks a lot more vitamins/minerals.

I used to use it a few years ago and it worked very well for me.

I use the lose it app. I found it easy to use and love that I can scan barcodes to input the info. Also love I can input recipes and get total stats too. I can customize the nutrients I want to keep track of too. And see at a glance where I stand Protein wise.

I signed up for My Fitness Pal & deleted my account just a day or so later. It just didn't seem to fit how we're supposed to eat. I have "Lose It!" on my iPhone & will probably start using it again once I'm allowed to have more than SF Clear Liquids & Protein Shakes.< /p>

I have used sparkpeople in the past and really like it. I started using MFP a couple of weeks ago....the only thing I really like about it is that it has the barcode scanner, which sparkpeople does not. So far, there hasn't been anything I've scanned that hasn't been in their database. But, as I said, it's really the only thing that keeps me using it. I might have to check out the caloriecount and lose it apps to see if I like those better.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
