Hi Shirley,

Did anyone reply to you on this? The bar code scanner is on the phone app. I have the iphone, not sure if the droid version has it? But next to the search bar there is a little bar code looking button, you click on that and it turns on your camera. Then you basically put the barcode in view and it captures it and tells you the information of that item.

It's pretty neat :)

Happy Friday,

ZoeBug

Your the first to get back, so thanks !

I don't have a iphone, but I do have a phone with a camera in it.

Do you think it is possible for a standard phone/ with a camera to do the scanning? Just asking... Mine is by SAMSUNG.

Thanks, Shirley.

Hi Shirley.

I think for now only the iphone can do the scanner thing......that's what I have and I use that feature a lot!!!

Now if only all restaurants across the country had that feature on their menus online, it would be PERFECT!!!! I wouldn't have to rely on someone else's info!! :)

Your a Genius! Take that Idea, and have that Patented. Then go to the states and show how it works, and the Home Shopping Club, and Q V C. For the idea alone, you would be rich $$$$ Once they in the states see how easy it is to get your Health Info, just by scanning a bar code Label... That would put a end to all this stuff on the News, about how will they figure out everything on a new Menu ! Well you have the solution to a Billion Dollar Problem.

I am serious ! don't laugh, or think to long. If you know a Lawyer or have one in the Family. Explain how it can be done by just scanning, and every Restaurant will have to have a bar code label after the listing.. Then you can see everything with your phone. No problems for the waitress, cooks Restaurant etc. I think you could hit it big.....

Just try it and see. On my iPhone, there are tutorials (super helpful) in the "more" area. Not sure what phones it works on, but install it for free and see what you find :)

Shirley,

You have to have a "Smart Phone" like a Droid or an I-phone, one where you can download applications. A regular phone with a camera will not work. I'm in the same boat as you. I just have a regular phone.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
