Bariatric Smartphone App
I have an android smartphone and use many applications during the day for both fun and productivity. In light of my upcoming surgery, I've been searching for an android app that helps support bariatric patients. I have yet to find one that does.
I'd like to get thoughts and ideas from people on here on what would help better support us on a daily basis. Then bringing the ideas to an app designer to set it all in motion.
Some ideas that crossed my mind for a Bariatric App would include:
Daily / weekly protein intake log
Daily / weekly fluid intake log
Reminders/ timers (for water intake and supplements)
Syncing stored info. to OH website.
That's all I can think of at this time. Please sound off.
Thank you

I think it's an awesome idea and I was actually looking for one.
First, I am wondering why there is no OH app... Maybe you can tell that guy to work with OH for an app for this website...
I like your ideas. What about recipes? Recipes based on stages? "Quick tips"?

Well first of all.. I'm a mac lover so hopefully you can look into adding an app for the iPhone/ iPad. I actually brought an app called MyNetDiary. It's not for WLS support per say, but it will allow you to keep track of protein, water, vitamins, etc. It also keeps track of my measurements, and weight of course. What I really like is that I can export all of my data to a spread sheet and email to anyone I want. i.e. my doctor. There is also a community, before and after pics, a library of articles, social networking connections. Also there is a barcode scanner and if the information doesn't show up correctly, you email the corrections and its fixed very quickly!
A lot of people on here use myfitnesspal and I have that app as well, but I like MyNetDiary much better. (i'm picking about my interfaces) Anyway I'm pretty sure there is an Android App for that as well.

There is an app called Lose It!, you can scan in foods from the bar code as well as an extensive list of foods. You can track protein, calories, and more. You can also track your excercise.
Sports Tracker is an exercise app, uses GPS, and you can track calories burned.
These might be a good resource as a starting point.
