iphone apps for sleeve patients...



Recommended Posts

I have been so faithful to write in my food log. I count calories, Protein, carbs, and Fluid ounces. However, I am getting extremely tired of this. I have an iphone and was wanting to start doing this on my phone instead. Does anybody have a suggestion for a good app that would do this?

Happy New Year to you all!

I use the Myfitnesspal.com to log everything. Their app is great and syncs very quickly with anything u log on the actual site.

There are quite a few apps that allow you to track everything u just have to decide which format u enjoy the most.

I also use Brita's "Water Lite" app as an extremely easy way to track my Water intake. It has a little round red number pop up (like when u get a text or missed call) that stays showing with the number of glasses u still need to drink. It's an excellent constant reminder if you are always looking at ur phone. :-)

Find one or two that work for you and it will become second nature to tap it in ur phone really quick. :-)

I have an android phone and an iPod. I use the Calorie Counter app from fatsecret.com. I especially like that it lets me save my food logs as pdf files so that I can easily print or email them to my dietician. I also really like their recipe builder and that it remembers my frequently eaten foods.

I use Lose It on the Ipod to track my food and exercise! I don't track my Water but I know how much I get in each day! I LOVE this app because you can look up SO MANY different foods or just add your own!

The my fitness pal app on the iPhone is one of the best I have seen. You can set goals, it counts your calories for you and also let's you know where you stand as far as nutrition intake as well.(ie..saturated fats, cholesterol,sugar, and so on) you can chose different foods or foods from a resturant, and the calories are already there. This is a very easy app.

      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!!
