Haven’t had surgery yet but I’ve used MyKeto for so long...probably about 2 years. It’s so easy to use and has an excellent food database. Easy to add your own foods and serving sizes, scan labels, etc. Tons of resources in settings. Here are a couple screenshots...don’t mind the macros I haven’t finished logging my food today 😋

Pre op I used Calorie King but post op I use a written food diary so I can easily show it to my dietician. The first post op meeting with her I just described what I had been eating as I didn’t track. The next meeting when I had the food diary was so so much better. She was able to give more comprehensive advice and point out good and bad things. I’m now committed to paper tracking.

I’ve been on and off MyFitnessPal for eight years and plan to use it when I get back to solids. One week out, a simple note pad seems easiest!  Congrats on going to solids. I just can’t wait to get to something other then liquids!!!

You made a valid point about the paper tracking. I've used apps for so long, but I think being able to hand the doctor something tangible is probably a headache saver for everyone. I'll still use my app to calculate all my macros and whatnot. I just picked this up on Amazon https://amzn.to/2BgLSw4 Thanks for the idea!

how long ago did you have your surgery? I'm so ready for real food. I'm still supposed to be eating just oatmeal and mashed potatoes....

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
