Is anyone using BariMate, the iPhone app for banders and other bariatric surgeries?

I picked up a flyer about it at my surgeon's office today and downloaded it as soon as I got home. It's been developed by an Australian surgeon but can be used in kg or lb mode. There are nine sub-apps, the most inspiring ones look like the Track Me and Graph Me where you can get graphs and other reports of your progress. It says you can even download them as PDFs to email! Another of the sub-apps is Fill Me, which is described as an interactive estimator as to whether you need a fill or not.

I think it's a bit light on the dietary advice section but that may grow over time.

Just thought I would share this for bandsters wanting to carry a bit of inspiration and a reminder of how far we have progressed in your pocket.

Hi Jess,

It's $9.99 here in Australia! But I looked at it as a long term tool (a bit like my band!) which will let me look back over my journey to remind me just how far I have come....when I get there, or get discouraged on the way. I really like that it offers inspirational little quotes whenever I open the app. Plus I can enter my own messages that remind me of why I am doing this - like: "To dance all night" "To look fantastic in my son's wedding photos" and "To live long and well enough to enjoy grandkids - one day!"

Hi...I just downloaded the new iphone application. I will follow up later with how it is working. I am in the process of looking at what my options are. I am hoping the tracking program will help me come to a sound decision. I am am glad to be back online again. I am looking to affirm a new weight loss programs.

Every now and then I just open it up for the inspirational messages to give me a mental boost. I am looking forward to six to eight months down the track when I have some real data in there and can see some downward movement on my graphs etc.

What a shame i dont have an i phone :(

I would love this

I recently found that my wii fit has been tracking my weight loss and could have also tracked my inches/cm lost too if i had been inputting them.....I must ask my surgeon if he took all those details when i was first banded as I know that he has a graph with my weight loss that he shows me when i go in.

They need one online that everyone can use....cool idea though with the app for the iphone :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
