Hi Everyone,

I am a fellow lap-bander (banded October '09) and I use MyFitnessPal.com to track my foods, exercise and weight loss goals. It's a great tool. Are any of you members? It is free, if you are interested.

If you are members or become members, what do you think of becoming "buddies" on this site so we can look at what each other eats and excercise, etc. for help and tips?

Reply here or PM me if you're interested. I can give you my email address and you can look it up on Myfitnesspal.com so we can be linked.

Be well,

Renee

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,

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.

Only if you have a smartphone that has a mobile application that allows you onto the site. is your samsung an older version or one of the new smartphone kind?

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.

Thanks everyone for getting back to me....

I think I'll just stick to the Laptop.

My name there is karibrenmom and I would love to have more sleeve friends! I think its a great way to get food ideas! I am preop for another week!
