APPS for tracking or Any other good APPS for WLS patients?



Recommended Posts

Was wondering If anyone has a user friendly app for tracking what you eat during the day especially Protein and calories. I am not a big fan of My fitness Pal as I can't seem to be able to put in the exact amount ...ex 1.5 ounces chicken. .

You can log exact amount in MFP. However, I have a friend that uses Lose It and know other folks who track on Spark people.

I like Fat Secret. It's very easy and includes restaurants and exercise too.

You can change the amount, it took me a while to find out how to do it too -- just select the amount and put the actual amount you ate.

I also find its better to err on the side of more than less just for my calorie count now (but not something you need to worry about right away anyway).

I haven't used any of the other food counter apps, but I have a few other ones I use.

I have a Fitbit Aria scale, and track weight there. It syncs with www.trendweight.com (which also syncs with some other scales Withings, I think and I don't recall what else) and projects data and weight loss trends.

I have a Fitbit Force -- but this has just been recalled due to skin irritation issues -- and because I have a small irritated spot, I've discontinued use of that tracker in the meantime. However, I will say that having a tracker similar to a Fitbit is EXTREMELY awesome. There are lots on the market right now.

YMMV on how much data you like to have though, as I know not everyone likes the amount of data and stats I do. :)

Good luck on your journey!

I use Mynetdiary.com, Fitbit One, Aria scale, Bodytrack.it and Bariatric Pal. MND, FB and Aria all sync together tracking weight, food, exercise and fluids. Bodytrack.it keeps measurements and pictures - so you can see your progress. There is a lot out there - check everything out and see what you like best. ????

I use loseit! I've also tried MFP but, I like Loseit better! I got the Loseit scale also. That's pretty cool because when you weigh yourself, it automatically enters into the APP!

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
