Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Does anyone use an app on their phone?



Recommended Posts

I am looking for a good app to track my Water, Protein, exercise etc. I would like it to be more specific to WLS. I tried fitday, but it makes my brain nervous because it tells you how many calories you can have for the day, well we all know we aren't eating anywhere near that amount :-) I am concerned about my protein intake though.

Thank you!

MyFitnessPal is hugely popular, and integrates with lots of other apps. Fitbit also.

The App Store has quite a few new ones that actually track Water, Vitamins, medication etc. I use my fitness pal, but I am not tracking water etc. it just has the most extensive database of food, I don't pay that much attention to the calories as the nutrition and volume

Sadly, I ended up purchasing a journal because I could not find an app that just everything I wanted. I liked MyFitnessPal, but you cannot adjust the grams of Protein only select a percentage.

I purchase my journal at Barnes & Noble and love it. It's titled "Diet Minder", about 6" X 9", spiral bound and there are two pages for every day. You start by writing the date and day # (this is nice for preop diet), there are categories for Breakfast, snack, lunch, Snack, dinner and Snack, you can track calories, fat grams, carbs, Fiber and Protein. There are totals for each meal, then a daily total for each category. There is also a section each day where you can record vitamins/supplements and physical activity.

Anyway, may be old school writing everything down, but I love it.

I use WaterYourBody... You can set how many Oz or ml or whatever you're measuring and it sends me reminders when I haven't been getting my fluids in.

      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.
