I have an iPhone and use "Tap and Track". It just happened to have the best reviews when I was looking in the Apple App store. It works great for me but there are any number of great apps out there. Lots of folks on the forum use My Fitness Pal (amazing database and other food/calorie tracking tools) and Spark People also has a great reputation. What's important is using a food log - the one you use is just a means to that end!

I like the lose it app. Its free and it is easy to use. There are thousands of restaurant and grocery brands in it. It can send you custom reports and it emails you award badges that keep you motivated. It tracks weight exercise calories Protein and other nutrients. It can also link up to your scale if you have one of the wireless ones.

      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.
