I am scheduled for April Fools day for my procedure. I have started my pre op diet early and have droped 12 pounds in 4 days, I am looking for a good online tracking tool something simular to weight watchers online! Are there any GUYS out there? I wish some would share something from the guys side.

try www.myfitnesspal.com

it is very popular, FREE and easy to use. It has a large data base of brand name foods and basic foods. There is also a feature to use your cell phone or tablet to scan bar codes that will put it into your food diary.

there is also an exercise tracking feature as well

good luck

I'm an MFP user, too. Handle is sabinadublin and it's all Banders on my fitness pal list if you're looking for support. But you're right -- so many women!

For this site, go find Catfish and Jim1967 and Terrypop and 2muchfun and Tomander and 50Junkie -- hope I'm getting names right -- all long-time male Banders and lots of others I'm missing. If you go "friend" them I think the site may churn up their posts more frequently and you'll see you're not the only guy here.

Hey, 747 another Guy here. I am only one month out and looking forward to the trip. I have used MFP before but I am currently using LOSE-IT. I like the feel of it a little better that MFP but both are equally user friendly.

      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.
