Fitbit with Nutrition



Recommended Posts

Hello! My name is Kate, I had gastric sleeve surgery on August 27th, 2018 in La Crosse, WI! I've finally moved onto the pureed/soft food stage, but am on that for the next 5 weeks :(

Anyway, things are going well and I added exercise back in last week. I wear a Fitbit Flex2 because I'm a swimmer and coach and I can go in the Water with it. However it doesn't currently have a feature in the nutrition portion where it says how many grams of Protein, carbs, fats, etc. and goals. I know everyone recommends My Fitness Pal, but I'd like to avoid creating a whole other account and then enter my info in two separate things. Has anyone found a way around this or do I just have to suck it up and have 2 platforms?

Fitbit most certainly has nutrition entry, you just need to do so from the site or the app, I don't know of any smartwatch or fitness tracker that lets you enter nutrition directly from the wearable.

And MyFitnessPal links up with your fitbit account.

      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.
