Good morning everyone. Do you have any favorite weight loss tools to recommend? Favorite apps, websites, cooking equipment, Protein supplements, etc.? I have downloaded the Bariastic app and I like it a lot, I just wished it showed Fiber and sodium totals, but overall it has been more effective for me than My Fitness Pal or The Daily Plate because of the reminders. For the kitchen, I'm thinking about getting an Instant Pot.

KISS. No need for special tools, special bowls/plates/utensils, etc. You will outgrow them quicker than you think.

I track everything still in MFP (food, Water, exercise, poops, BP, BGs. LOL.

I use a digital scale daily and stainless measuring cups/spoons daily.

I use a saucer/bread plate for meals and regular salad forks and coffee spoons for food.

Beyond that--that's it. :)

I’m in my last week of soft foods and for a Protein supplement I like Syntrax Nectar unflavored. I put it in yogurt, cottage cheese, actually most anything. Good luck with your journey!

Digital food scale is the only thing I use for tools. I also use MFP.

I have a slow cooker but I’m buying an Instant Pot on Black Friday for myself!

My favorite website for recipes is skinnytaste.com. She re-creates traditional recipes in a healthier way. The site is not bariatric-centered, however, the recipes are great and she includes all the nutritional info.

      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.
