Hi friends! Question...anyone know of a really effective food journal app for the iPhone/iPad? I downloaded the "clarity health journal" app. Didn't know if there's a bypass-specific journal. I'd like to be able to track Protein, Water, carbs, Vitamins and alike. Thoughts? Thx :)

I like my fitness pal. It tracks all of those. And if you log in on a computer, the settings can be changed to your recommendations instead of weight/height ratio. HUGE data base and a scanner included. And u can add it as your food if not found.

I got the fitness pal app I like it but I have a question right now I'm on puréed food. I can maybe only eat about 2 to 3 oz can the app figure how many calories I'm getting in? For example I entered info for Campbell's cream Soup from the label but I didn't eat the serving size of 1/2 cup so can i enter ounces and pal will figure out calories?

As long as you don't change the serving size. That messes with calorie count. Look for something that can easily change to ounces. For example 0.5 cup equals 4 ounces. If you only had 2 ounces, then you can say you had 1/2 serving and it will figure it. I use it on my phone and this works pretty well. Hope that helps!

I absolutely love Calorie King on my iPhone. It's so helpful when eating out and pretty thorough with other foods :)

      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.

      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.
