I was bandedon the 23rd of November 2009. I am down 24 lbs and have 7.4cc in a 10 cc band with no restriction.

I am wondering how you keep track of your Protein intake and calories daily? Is there an easy way to keep track daily?

Thanks

SparkPeople is a good online food journal. That is what I use.

If you go out and register on Allergan's Lap Band site for a "Personal Lap Band Journey", they have great tools available for tracking exercise, health data (like blood sugars), doctor's appointments, and food intake. I've been very happy with it so far!

I use www.thedailyplate.com . It tracks calories, Protein, fat and all other nutritional content and also allows you to enter your daily exercise (and nets out the calories taken in vs. burned) and Water intake. I love it!

After my last journal was full, I figured I'd go environmentally friendly this time :-)!

I use dailyplate as well. If you are a paper person, A Dr. Kroll I think makes a journal I bought from Amazon designed specifically for Lapband patients "The Gastric Lapband Companion"--I keep it just to track fills, because unlike the daily plate that foods come up when you type them in, this journal is manual so you would have to get the calories, fat, protein etc from somewhere else, then record. It was just easier to do it online!

I use buddyslim.com. It is very user friendly and keeps track of calories, protein and fat. Check it out.

I use the lose it app on my iphone. It works like daily plate.

I keep track of calories and protien in a journal. I use a page a day and just list what I eat, the protien and the calories. Then I total it up for the day. If I am not sure of the nutritional content I look it up online. You may want to try a few different things and see what works best for you.

I've been using fitday.com for years. I love it because I now have a database of custom foods that make it really easy to just click, click, click my daily intake.

I have a Realize band and tried using their site (my surgeon's nurse accesses it to see how people are doing--I figured it would be useful to them)---but it's not nearly as user-friendly, so I'm back on fitday.
