What apps do you use other than My Fitness Pal to help keep you focused? I found one few days ago to help get me back on track it's called Bariatric Timer ...helps me not drink to soon and more aware of eating times

Great idea for a thread, and I will look for bariatric timer. That tends to be still something I struggle with even five months out. I also just finished a couch to 5K app called 5K Runner, and so then I signed up for one called forever 5K which helps you improve your speed. Both are really great. I used my Fitbit app now instead of my fitness pal, since I was having trouble getting them to talk to each other, and it just took longer to log it in my fitness pal for me. I love the Fitbit 1 too, and check it throughout the day, often altering my day to include more activity because of it. I set the tiny vibrating alert for twice a day to remind me to get up and move around if I am doing a lot of desk work. Good app they are using?

When. I decided to have surgery I bought the Jawbone Up 24 and use the app which is cool because it works with MFP and quite a few other ones

Some other cool apps I have found useful are "Water your Body" keeps track of your Water intake, tells you how much you should drink for your weight and has reminder alerts... "Monitor your Weight" basically a place to log your weight makes it easy to see at a glance I love this one..."Eat "Slower" just what it says a timer that you set by your plate and tells you when to take a bite you set how fast or slow you want your bites to be

I also use an ICE app with a widget on my home screen, this has all my surgery doctor and medical info at a glance... I thought about getting a medical Bracelet and still might but for now I think this is fine

Hi' I use Map My Fitness. It tracks your walk or run, and it will track your food. It has all kinds of uses. I also use Calorie Counter for food.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
