Fitbit with Nutrition



Recommended Posts

Hello! My name is Kate, I had gastric sleeve surgery on August 27th, 2018 in La Crosse, WI! I've finally moved onto the pureed/soft food stage, but am on that for the next 5 weeks :(

Anyway, things are going well and I added exercise back in last week. I wear a Fitbit Flex2 because I'm a swimmer and coach and I can go in the Water with it. However it doesn't currently have a feature in the nutrition portion where it says how many grams of Protein, carbs, fats, etc. and goals. I know everyone recommends My Fitness Pal, but I'd like to avoid creating a whole other account and then enter my info in two separate things. Has anyone found a way around this or do I just have to suck it up and have 2 platforms?

Fitbit most certainly has nutrition entry, you just need to do so from the site or the app, I don't know of any smartwatch or fitness tracker that lets you enter nutrition directly from the wearable.

And MyFitnessPal links up with your fitbit account.

        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!!

      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!!
