pre -op stage and going on a long road trip. What apps do you like?



Recommended Posts

I am in the pre op stage. I had a 6 hour bootcamp and was given general guidelines for eating until I official meet with the NUT.

Practice mindful eating,Break the drinking with meals,and you get extra points if you log your food before you see her. Typically you see her one week after bootcamp.. I won't be seeing her until July 20th. I will be traveling July 3rd to 19th. With the 5th to 16th being a road trip from WA to CA and back.

I have used fitday in the past..but won't have my PC that I really need to use that. I am looking for smartphone apps that will sync with an online program. I have used sparkpeople in the past.

I was considering breaking out the bodybug for the trip..but i really don't know if I have room for one more charger lol...

And any strategies you have for attempting to eat clean on the road are appreciated.

I also use MyFitnessPal... I especially love it because if you are eating out somewhere, you can usually look up the calories for the meal and help you to make informed decisions even while on the road and dining out.

      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.
