Do you use tools like My Fitness Pal, Fitbit, etc?

Someone here recommended an app called baritastic. I am running side by side with my fitness pal right now-on liver reduction diet. So far what I like about baritastic is the Water tracking and reminders. You can set alarms for time after a drink till you can eat and v.v. And for learning to chew more. They seem to have support groups and other features I am not using. But do not seem to have a recipe calculator.

Mfp doesn't track Water or have the alarms. Which I imagine are most helpful the first few months. And I hate that it always opens to the home page vs staying on the diary page.

Myfitnesspal does have a water tracker, at least on my iPhone. It is in the blue + circle on the bottom middle of the screen. It has status, water, food, exercise, and weight. It also has a reminder tab where you can set multiple alarms throughout the day. I always track my water just to be 100% sure. Also, I love that it adjusts to my personal goals for the day(I'm currently doing 500ish calories and set my Protein, fat, and carb goals to ensure I'm hitting or not going over. Tracking, no matter what app you use, is super important for staying healthy after surgery. It also helps when visiting your NUT or surgeon so they can make adjustments as necessary. Good luck with everything!

I use my fitness pal and I have a Fitbit HR, I LOOOVE them and would be lost without them!!! I totally recommend! They sink together and calculate all the information for you!

I use My Fitness Pal and an App called Pacer that syncs with my food Diary in My Fitness Pal. Pacer is FREE...works like a Fitbit and counts your steps etc.

I use MyPlate and it automatically connected to my Apple Watch

Just picked up a Garmin VivoSmart, had planned on the FibitHR but had a change of heart. Really liked that the VivoSmart is Water proof and had a couple more features to boot. That being said..

Is it wrong when you are 1200 steps short of your goal, to let the chihuahua pup wear a nifty new collar for a bit?
