Did OK! Took about 1.5 oz of each item (turkey, roast pork, mashed, sweet potato casserole, sausage stuffing) and was able to enjoy dinner without feeling deprived. I even took 1/5 teaspoon of chocolate silk pie for dessert. I measured everything and scanned the barcode for the pie and my calories came out to about 1000 for the day, I knew I would try to eat dinner, so ate a very light breakfast and had broth for lunch. I was suprised the sugar didn't bother me but it wasn't worth the anxiety of getting on the scale the next morning! I definitely won't be doing that again any tine soon. I've come too far to screw it up now! I am encouraged by this group, thank you to everyone and good luck going forward on your journey!

I use Baritastic and agree with another poster that since it is designed for toward bariatric patients it works very well for my needs, tracking important markers like protein, calcium, water, carbs, fat. It is very easy to scan the barcodes of different foods like protein shakes, applesauce, tomato soup, yogurt, etc. and keeps track of your weight lost before and since surgery, as well as inches lost. There's a section for daily notes, reminders, a timer for eating (20 minutes to chew, chew, chew!), drinking (there are two warnings for drinking: don't eat yet! and don't drink yet!). So, the way it is tailored for bariatric patients is what makes this app so great. Good luck with whatever you choose to use, I am sure they are all great!

Hi! I'm scheduled for September 26! New to this forum, looking forward to cheering you on!

Good luck. My husband won’t be able to stay with me overnight, we are also an hour away. Covid related procedures.

good luck tomorrow, my GS is Tuesday. Scary but exciting! I did measurements today.
