Haven’t had surgery yet but I’ve used MyKeto for so long...probably about 2 years. It’s so easy to use and has an excellent food database. Easy to add your own foods and serving sizes, scan labels, etc. Tons of resources in settings. Here are a couple screenshots...don’t mind the macros I haven’t finished logging my food today 😋

Pre op I used Calorie King but post op I use a written food diary so I can easily show it to my dietician. The first post op meeting with her I just described what I had been eating as I didn’t track. The next meeting when I had the food diary was so so much better. She was able to give more comprehensive advice and point out good and bad things. I’m now committed to paper tracking.

I’ve been on and off MyFitnessPal for eight years and plan to use it when I get back to solids. One week out, a simple note pad seems easiest!  Congrats on going to solids. I just can’t wait to get to something other then liquids!!!

You made a valid point about the paper tracking. I've used apps for so long, but I think being able to hand the doctor something tangible is probably a headache saver for everyone. I'll still use my app to calculate all my macros and whatnot. I just picked this up on Amazon https://amzn.to/2BgLSw4 Thanks for the idea!

how long ago did you have your surgery? I'm so ready for real food. I'm still supposed to be eating just oatmeal and mashed potatoes....

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
