pre -op stage and going on a long road trip. What apps do you like?



Recommended Posts

I am in the pre op stage. I had a 6 hour bootcamp and was given general guidelines for eating until I official meet with the NUT.

Practice mindful eating,Break the drinking with meals,and you get extra points if you log your food before you see her. Typically you see her one week after bootcamp.. I won't be seeing her until July 20th. I will be traveling July 3rd to 19th. With the 5th to 16th being a road trip from WA to CA and back.

I have used fitday in the past..but won't have my PC that I really need to use that. I am looking for smartphone apps that will sync with an online program. I have used sparkpeople in the past.

I was considering breaking out the bodybug for the trip..but i really don't know if I have room for one more charger lol...

And any strategies you have for attempting to eat clean on the road are appreciated.

I also use MyFitnessPal... I especially love it because if you are eating out somewhere, you can usually look up the calories for the meal and help you to make informed decisions even while on the road and dining out.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
