What are/were your favorite apps before surgery and after surgery?

I've seen lots of calorie counters and workout apps... just trying to sift through the clutter. Thanks!

My Fitness Pal is the one I have used to track my food for the last two years.  Invaluable tool and you can customize it for the macros you want to track and the targets you want to reach.

For fitness, I really like EveryMove and map my fitness.  They sync with my fitness pal very well, too.  If you can swing it, I've really enjoyed having a fitbit.  Definitely keeps me aware of how much I'm moving during the day.  I also have the model that estimates your quality of sleep.

 

Best of luck!

Runkeeper is my main app.  I use it to track all of my exercise activity.  I use Zombies Run! for running and TrendWeight for weight tracking which syncs with my Withings scale.  

I use Headspace for meditation/mindfulness and I've just started using Happify to try out.  I also use Yoga Studio for yoga at home.

I like My Fitness Pal to track my foods

I use Walkmeter to map my walkout routines

I use Fitbit to track my steps, it also works with the my fitness pal app

Currently looking at different meditation/therapy apps to start working on the emotional part of my eating.

MyFitnessPal is my favorite.  

I also like my Fitbit more than I thought I would, and so I use the accompanying app quite a bit.

For exercising, I like using an app called Bit Timer.  It's intended to use for Interval training, but I use it more to help me time my reps when I do weight.  I give myself 20 seconds to complete my reps, followed by 40 seconds of rest.  Repeat until I'm done.
