Hi ,
I am scheduled to hopefully have my DS surgery on 11/18/19 (just waiting on the insurance to give their approval). I have done a lot of research on the surgery and have read a ton of post's on this forum. Between all that and talking with my Nutritionist and Doctor, I understand how important taking your vitamins, getting your water in, and having a high Protein Diet is for the success and for our well being.
To plan ahead, I am trying to find a simple phone application to track my macronutrients (whi*****lude water, carbohydrates, fat and protein). A lot of the apps I have found mainly tract Calories and Carbs, but to get the Macronutrients like protein, they want to charge you either a monthly or yearly membership fee. Before investing money on one of the many apps out there, that I may or may not like, what do you guys and gals do to track you nutrients?? Thank you in advance :)

I think there is a Canada dedicated forum that you might get some responses.
Good luck!

That is a normal after rapid weight loss.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I just had my two year checkup and everything else looks great except for my AST and ALT levels (the internet says these are things related to the liver).They are 162 and 126 respectively, which is four times higher than what's considered the high end of normal.
My doctor's office doesn't seem too concerned; they're saying it's normal for DS patients to be this high.
Is this something I need to concerned about? Is there something I should be doing to lower them?
I had the VSG almost 6 years ago, I had 2 babies about a year or so after my surgery I got preg with my first and then almost exactly 2 years after i had my second daughter, so i have gained quite a bit of weight since my surgery, so i decided im done haveing babies ( im almost 40) and i need to get my life and health back on track again for my babies! So my Family Doc is referring me to Dr Theriault in Moncton as she does the DuoDenal Switch, does anyone have any idea how long the wait is ?
thankyou thats the easiest solution i lost 75kg but now i weigh 82kg so i guess thats not too bad 17 years with BPD/ds.
