High Protein Alternatives - Cereal, Chips, etc.
1. Premier Protein Chocolate Almond Cereal (it is actually whey protein isolate flakes), it contains 20g protein in one cup of it. I like to mix it with Failife Nutrition chocolate shake (30g of protein). 2. Premier Protein Pancakes (I bought it in Sam's club) - I like it either with crunchy peanut butter or sugar-free raspberry jelly. 3. Oikos Pro yogurt (20g protein).

Being a nurse with crazy hours
@ynotiniowa I'm a nurse working crazy hours in hospital too. Donuts, cookies, cupcakes and candy on every counter, that's a nurse's life at work, that's why I needed bariatric surgery...lol. I went to work after 6 weeks, so I was eating regular food and it was not so obvious to others. You will survive 12-16 hr shift by eating Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, boiled eggs, protein cereal with Fairlife protein shake, tuna pouches and prepackaged small containers with protein rich/nutrition foods (chicken, turkey, chili, veges etc). Wish you good luck and success!

Help me with puree ideas
Try FitLife fat-free milk. It's ultra-pasturized and lactose free--plus it tastes good. It also froths like a dream. Google says FitLife milk is available in India only.

MyFitnessPal vs. Baritastic
I don't have Fitbit anymore. I use smartwatch Samsung Galaxy active 2 and sync my steps to Baritastic by similar method described above (by syncing Baritastic with Samsung Health app).

MyFitnessPal vs. Baritastic
On the main page of Baritastic, next to your name click on three horizontal lines, then click on settings at the bottom. Then click on devices and apps. Click on connect a device, choose your fitbit. Good luck.

Great to know, I'm so happy for you!

BCBS Federal
This is good news. The real good news is the fact that Basic option pays $200 for a surgeon and $100 per night at the hospital. My VSG was considered outpatient (I stayed 23 hrs) so the total bill for surgery out of pocket was $300 only!

Can you recommend some tools? - Bathroom Scale, Apps to track food, activity, weight and measurements
@Kenda0920 actually Baritastic can be used to connect and synch your FitBit and a smart scale. If you click Steps in home screen of Baritastic it will ask you "Do you want to connect a wearable device?" Choose Yes and get 4 options, including Fitbit and wifi scale. Good luck.

Staying Occupied Post-Op!
Scrapbooking of your weight loss journey, research and document your family history (or history if your town), learn a new language and plan vacation to the country where it is spoken, learn a new skill (playing virtual piano for example), write a novel/poetry/music.

Tracking App
I use Baritastic app. It has large food database and barcode scanner. I sync my Baritastic with Renpho scale and Fitbit, so i can track my weight and daily steps. I also track my exercises and bowel movements with it. It has food recipes, timer and reminders for taking Vitamins and Water. Section for tracking BMs has an area for journaling. Baritastic app. is multifunctional and everything in one place. I like its graphics too.
