I am scheduled for April Fools day for my procedure. I have started my pre op diet early and have droped 12 pounds in 4 days, I am looking for a good online tracking tool something simular to weight watchers online! Are there any GUYS out there? I wish some would share something from the guys side.

try www.myfitnesspal.com

it is very popular, FREE and easy to use. It has a large data base of brand name foods and basic foods. There is also a feature to use your cell phone or tablet to scan bar codes that will put it into your food diary.

there is also an exercise tracking feature as well

good luck

I'm an MFP user, too. Handle is sabinadublin and it's all Banders on my fitness pal list if you're looking for support. But you're right -- so many women!

For this site, go find Catfish and Jim1967 and Terrypop and 2muchfun and Tomander and 50Junkie -- hope I'm getting names right -- all long-time male Banders and lots of others I'm missing. If you go "friend" them I think the site may churn up their posts more frequently and you'll see you're not the only guy here.

Hey, 747 another Guy here. I am only one month out and looking forward to the trip. I have used MFP before but I am currently using LOSE-IT. I like the feel of it a little better that MFP but both are equally user friendly.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
