Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Does anyone use an app on their phone?



Recommended Posts

I am looking for a good app to track my Water, Protein, exercise etc. I would like it to be more specific to WLS. I tried fitday, but it makes my brain nervous because it tells you how many calories you can have for the day, well we all know we aren't eating anywhere near that amount :-) I am concerned about my protein intake though.

Thank you!

MyFitnessPal is hugely popular, and integrates with lots of other apps. Fitbit also.

The App Store has quite a few new ones that actually track Water, Vitamins, medication etc. I use my fitness pal, but I am not tracking water etc. it just has the most extensive database of food, I don't pay that much attention to the calories as the nutrition and volume

Sadly, I ended up purchasing a journal because I could not find an app that just everything I wanted. I liked MyFitnessPal, but you cannot adjust the grams of Protein only select a percentage.

I purchase my journal at Barnes & Noble and love it. It's titled "Diet Minder", about 6" X 9", spiral bound and there are two pages for every day. You start by writing the date and day # (this is nice for preop diet), there are categories for Breakfast, snack, lunch, Snack, dinner and Snack, you can track calories, fat grams, carbs, Fiber and Protein. There are totals for each meal, then a daily total for each category. There is also a section each day where you can record vitamins/supplements and physical activity.

Anyway, may be old school writing everything down, but I love it.

I use WaterYourBody... You can set how many Oz or ml or whatever you're measuring and it sends me reminders when I haven't been getting my fluids in.

      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!!
