Absolutely not a problem!

What are some of the apps for android?

Beth, I'm an iPhone guy so I don't know a lot about android. "My Fitness Pal" is recommended by a lot of doctors/staff and I've never read a bad review. I "think" that there are versions for both iPhone and android but I'm not certain. I use "Tap and Track" on my iPhone but there may be an android version as well. I know iPhone has a ton of other apps that do much the same thing. I started using Tap and Track because it had the highest reviews and I it does everything I need it to do. Some kind of logging, whether it's an app or just manually is a very powerful tool. I strongly recommend it!

DL...maybe you should start a thread on High Protein options? Sounds like we'd all like a peek at your list :)

Made the costco and grocery store runs yesterday. Freezer is looking much better with some good eats in it! LOL. Working on the list guys but the weekend is a little busy with the holiday. Got to spend some quality time with my grandson! I'll try to get it up on Tuesday at the latest. I'll start a new topic so that other folks can add to it as well. You guys have a great Memorial Day!!

funny how all bariatric groups are different. I know first out of surgery I'm suppose to try to get up to 60 oz of Protein a day but' date=' they said I won't be able to for a while.[/quote']

I think the requirements are different for men and women.

My nutritionist went over the formula for Protein intake with me and it's based on your height and gender.

Good afternoon guys! For those of you who were interested in my list of Protein foods - I prepared a simple Excel spreadsheet with 51 foods along with calories, serving size and protein per serving. Unfortunately, when I tried to post it, all of the formatting was lost and it would have been a nightmare to make much sense out of it. I also tried to attach the file to the post but got an error message indicating that I'm not allowed to attach that type of file. If anyone has any ideas on how I can add this to the forum I'd be grateful for any advice. As an alternative for anyone interested, if you're comfortable with sending me your email address in a PM, I'd be glad to email you the file. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Sorry - I tried.

      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.
