Hello all! I was sleeved on July 12. The first two days were rough but now I'm feeling better than I expected to and am ready to start thinking ahead into the solids phase/week 5 (for my plan, anyway). I'm a teacher and students come back about a week after I am able to start solids. I know I need to plan meals, etc. Is there any app that will help me track Protein consumption? Also, how many of you bought a food scale? I'm thinking I should get one.

What do typical lunches look like once you're able to eat "normally?"

Buy a food scale. There are those who haven't, but what does that have to do with you? You'll more easily plan meals and, if it makes a difference to you, truly feel that you're taking charge.

My Fitness Pal is popular. There are others. Consider tracking more than Protein. You'll have proof of the new habits you're developing and, if you hit a period of slower loss (apart from expected stalls now and then), having records of your choices and quantities will help you tweak your program.

Second the my fitness pal app it's so easy to use!

lunch? Tuna and or greek yogurt. Big beliver in the scale and MFP.

I use MyFitnessPal. It is invaluable for helping me to reach my protein target every day.

MFP is great, like others have said, I also use Baritastic. Its a great app to check your progress, track your food, and get recipes.
