How Bariwell works
A phase-aware companion for every bite of your first six months — and every year after.
1. Onboarding tuned to your surgery
In under a minute, you tell us your surgery type (sleeve, bypass, lap band, balloon) and date. Bariwell calibrates a personal phase timeline — Clear Liquids, Full Liquids, Puree, Soft Foods, Regular, Maintenance — that adjusts automatically as days tick over.
2. The AI ‘Can I Eat This?’ checker
Type any food or meal. The checker returns a plain-English verdict — safe, caution, or avoid — for your exact phase and surgery type, along with why and a safer alternative if needed. No more googling in the supermarket aisle.
3. Protein, water and vitamin tracking
One tap logs a sip of water, a scoop of protein, or your daily multivitamin. Targets scale with your phase (60–80g protein, 1.5L water, once-daily bariatric multi). Gentle reminders help you hit them without obsessing.
4. Phase-aware recipes and meal plans
A recipe library filtered to what’s actually safe for you today. Save favourites, plan the week, and ‘log now’ to record what you’ve eaten in a single tap.
5. Progress and non-scale wins
Log weight when it matters to you — daily, weekly, or never. The Wins tab celebrates non-scale victories: dropping a clothing size, walking further, better sleep, off a medication.
6. Peer community
Category-filtered feeds (Pre-op, Recovery, Long-term, Recipes, General) so you can find the people whose stage matches yours. Every post is moderated; reporting is one tap.
7. Reminders that respect you
Optional foreground reminders for hydration sips, vitamins, and weekly weigh-ins. Turn any of them off individually. Nothing is louder than it needs to be.
