I love myfitnesspal. I think I'm actually addicted to logging. It's definitely a way for me to feel in control. I also love the forums over there.

My fitness pal. Love it!!!! The psych doctor I had to see prior to surgery suggested it and said he uses it everyday. Suggested that I use it for the rest of my life. It helps me keep on track , keeps track of my calories as well as my Protein and Fluid intake. Also tracks exercise! LOVE it!

I have such a hard time getting in all my liquids.... Water Logged is a good app to track water intake.

I use MFP and fitbit. I really like them together. We have an aria scale by fitbit too that syncs to MFP, together they keep me on track. I have used Lose it in the past and really like it too but MFP is what I have been using since surgery

I started using My Fitness Pal about a month ago and LOVE IT! I am going to see my doctor today for a follow-up, and I love that I can print off the diary so that the doctor can review it - it tracks calories and protein!!

I use myfitnesspal and runtastic together, and a heart rate monitor wrist watch.

But I also really like LoseIt but I don't want to pay $39.99 for the ability to log my Water, etc. I would rather use LoseIt, but like I said, I just use the lite version...

I am addicted to myfitnesspal too though, I love everything even my emergen-c.

I also use My Fitness Pal and Fitbit. To me, they are 2 halves of a whole. I love them! It really helps me to see what constitutes a "good" and a "bad" day. The combination of the 2 proved to me that if I upped my calories occasionally, I often lose weight the next day. Interesting revelation to me.

For the record , I was never able to keep with a food diary in the past but i wouldn't be without it now. They are great accountability tools.

I agree Janet, I was told when I had diabetes (reversed it with the lap-band though) to keep a food diary. Well, it was soooo hard to do before with just paper and stuff (this was in 2008).

So when I got on nutrisystem last year (I did it for almost a year) I used their iphone app to record stuff and got HOOKED.

When I quit nutrisystem, I was so used to it that I can't really live without one now. The control freak in me loves knowing exactly what and how much of every little thing is going into my body. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
