What apps do you use other than My Fitness Pal to help keep you focused? I found one few days ago to help get me back on track it's called Bariatric Timer ...helps me not drink to soon and more aware of eating times

Great idea for a thread, and I will look for bariatric timer. That tends to be still something I struggle with even five months out. I also just finished a couch to 5K app called 5K Runner, and so then I signed up for one called forever 5K which helps you improve your speed. Both are really great. I used my Fitbit app now instead of my fitness pal, since I was having trouble getting them to talk to each other, and it just took longer to log it in my fitness pal for me. I love the Fitbit 1 too, and check it throughout the day, often altering my day to include more activity because of it. I set the tiny vibrating alert for twice a day to remind me to get up and move around if I am doing a lot of desk work. Good app they are using?

When. I decided to have surgery I bought the Jawbone Up 24 and use the app which is cool because it works with MFP and quite a few other ones

Some other cool apps I have found useful are "Water your Body" keeps track of your Water intake, tells you how much you should drink for your weight and has reminder alerts... "Monitor your Weight" basically a place to log your weight makes it easy to see at a glance I love this one..."Eat "Slower" just what it says a timer that you set by your plate and tells you when to take a bite you set how fast or slow you want your bites to be

I also use an ICE app with a widget on my home screen, this has all my surgery doctor and medical info at a glance... I thought about getting a medical Bracelet and still might but for now I think this is fine

Hi' I use Map My Fitness. It tracks your walk or run, and it will track your food. It has all kinds of uses. I also use Calorie Counter for food.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
