I originally created this blog to keep account of my experiences with my Lapband surgery on October 1, 2010. Two years after having the bad and another child, I had to have it removed after finding it was defective. In it's place I had the gastric sleeve done. Here you'll be able to read some of my rants and ramblings on about the day to day life with the gastric sleeve. Enjoy.

My new best friend
So I downloaded this application on my phone that keeps track of food you consume. Now what I LOVE about it is that you can scan, using your camera, the bar code on what you will be consuming and just adjust the quantity for what you will eat and hit save. Most people, including myself, don't want to spend tons of time keeping a food journal. This is quick and easy. For food that you can't scan or isn't found, you can manually enter it and save it so it will be available later. Just label it how you would look it up, and viola, there it is with all the nutritional information that you entered originally. It keeps a running total for meals and snacks as well as a break down so you can see what you consumed per meal. It will also keep track of exercise and calories burned for the day. I don't know how many calories I worked off this morning, my elliptical had a brain fart when I went to check my heart rate after 6 mins, and it reset. So far calculating my breakfast, my morning snack, and my lunch, I've consumed 631 calories. The sad thing is, I really haven't had much to eat or drink and it seems like that's kinda high. The only negative I see with keeping a food journal is when it comes to my husband doing the cooking, I won't know exactly what he put in/on the food unless I'm present. Might have to teach him to take notes so I can enter it later.
