iPhone/iPod Touch Applications



Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

I thought it would be nice to have a place to share/recommend great iPhone/iPod Touch Applications that you are using to assist you on your journey.

I have been listening to the Weight Loss application by Dr Andrew Johnson every night before I go to sleep, or sometimes I just lay down for a little while on a Sunday afternoon and listen to the program.

It is basically a hypnosis type application to deter you from wanting to make poor food choices - I didn't think it would work, but week 1 of my pre op diet has just been too easy, I haven't even really craved anything bad.

The real test came today when a friend invited me to the movies, as I'm a sucker for a popcorn and coke - BUT - I walked into the Cinema and for some reason I could barely even SMELL the popcorn (my friend could smell it as strong as anything) and when I did get a whiff, I was not even SLIGHTLY interested in it... which now has me thinking, perhaps listening to the program every night IS helping.

Anyway, I recommend the application to anyone who is having issues with cravings.

Do you have any great iPhone/iPod applications that are helping you?

It's called "Lose It!" by FitNow and it's a free app.

I looks like an orange bathroom scale.

Itunes: App Store/Healthcare & Fitness/Lose It!

You can also go to their website, and download the app there:

Karen,

Maybe we have a different App Store in Australia? I swear to god it isn't there. I've just swapped to a new computer and haven't transferred my iTunes etc across yet, so I'll look into it on the weekend and see if I can get it via the website.

      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.
