Baritastic - Bariatric Tracker

As soon as the clinic recommended this app to teach food intake even six months prior to my scheduled surgery, I downloaded and started using it. Even though I’ve successfully lost weight four times previously (I’m horrible at keeping it off) I had never tracked my food intake and considered it a waste of time - that was until I started using this app. It has been so helpful and informative in helping me lose weight prior to surgery and I’m convinced it will be a critical tool to use after surgery. I am able to view my caloric, water, and other macronutrient intake with informative graphs. I am easily able to enter information into the app and it does the rest. Remarkable! With this app I can clearly see how many calories per day I’m taking in and on my Apple Watch I can clearly see how many calories I’m burning up. I have compared this with other subscription apps and this one is superior and, for now, it is FREE! I only wish the hospital I’m associated with worked directly with this app.

I LOVE this app! After sleeve surgery, I thought I didn’t need a tracking app, but BARITASTIC has changed my whole perspective! It has everything I need & a few cool extras! I’ve been able to increase my protein, water, & reduce carbs since using this app. I get excited when I see my total weight (since surgery) drop every day. My DR & many of his patients are on the Keto Diet. I showed the app to my DR & he LOVED it! He was using a very popular app created for fitness tracking. Not anymore. He now uses it & refers his patients to Baritastic. Love that Baritastic shows net carbs, journaling, & option for reports! Links to support group & creating reports. Not only is it incredibly useful, but it has a FUN interface. I look forward to entering my numbers. I realize that may sound weird, but it’s not a chore to enter your data - quick & seamless. Very interactive & extremely helpful to keep me on target! Try it out - it’s FREE! Thank you BARITASTIC, you guys ROCK!

I have been using this for 14 days now and it is incredibly useful. I am an old school write on paper kind of person but have been making myself use this every day. Yes there are some fixes that could make entering things easier but this is a free app so I don't complain. I think that the developers will make adjustments they just need to know what they are. Coming out of VSG surgery there were many people and apps that try and help you through your journey, this one is a good one. You have to find what works for you. My journal entries have allowed me to post my BP and vitamins/medications in an easy format that my primary care Dr. and surgeon could read easily with a swipe of the screen versus having to go through a paper journal book. Thank you!

I'm updating my review. I've used this app from the week of my surgery which was approximately 9 months ago. I love it all. It keeps track of my water intake, my weight, my food journal and even how I'm feeling for the day. It took me a few tries to figure out the recipe section but now I use it all the time! My only issue is the update, I has caused issues with my app. BUT I have contacted customer service and they are very prompt, very helpful and get the job done. I've tried other apps before and they all want you to update to premium and they aren't for the bariatric community. This is the best app you can use if you've had any type of surgery, whether you're pre-op, post op or maintaining. Just download it now, you won't regret it!

So first off I love this app! It has been great in helping myself to keep myself accountable. I had surgery ten years ago and noticed I was starting to put some weight back on. This app has been great at helping me to recognize old bad habits starting to creep up on me. The one issue I have is with the formula used to calculate calories. For example I made the fluffiest scrambled eggs that they have listed in the recipes. This is four eggs and cheese. It is 153 calories in the app. The next day I made the exact same thing only with three eggs instead of four. It was listed as 273 calories. Additionally the three eggs have more protein, sugar and carbs than the four egg version. This is the exact same ingredients as the four egg just missing one egg. If anything it should have less not more.
