I Initially used the my fitness pal app, but I switched to LoseIt about a week and a half ago. I was really disappointed that my fitness pal did not track fluids in ounces and the only option was cups. It looks like users have been requesting for them to add ounces for a few years without them doing that simple addition. Under Armor bought out my fitness pal and their premium rate is $50 a year. I tried LoseIt and liked it a lot. I decided to upgrade to the premium which was $30/year through iTunes. You can set goals for steps, hydration, measurements, nutrients and many other things. I just liked it and it was easier to use for me than MyFitness Pal. The free version is good too but I like the upgrades of the premium version.

I have been using the free MFP app but have a problem with it. I am having to say I am 80 lbs lighter and 5 inches shorter than I actually am so it will calculate the amount of calories that I (and my NUT) want me to eat. Anyone else using the free app? Do I have to pay for the premium version to avoid this?

The lose it app also calculated my daily calories too high, but I upgraded to the premium and it would let me put in whatever calories I wanted. Actually, I had to take their daily calories and either subtract how much I wanted her and how much I wanted to make it correct. I'm not sure if it allows you to do that in the free version, but like you that was another thing I didn't like in my fitness pal. I just thought $50 was too much to pay for the premium upgrade for my fitness pal .

Baritastic is for those who are going to or have had bariatric surgery. No weird changing of settings because you need lower nutrition requirements. I like it so far.

      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.
