How it worksFor surgical and medical weight-management teams
Your stages, supplements and lab calendar replacing the published reference, section by section.
For bariatric teamsFor groups with members
A private room and challenges, with nobody’s health data visible to anyone running it.
Join with a codeStages, protein, fluids, supplements, labs, symptoms, activity and progress. Loopa keeps the everyday parts of your bariatric or weight-management journey organized between appointments.
Built from published guidance. Designed to follow your care team’s plan.
After weight-loss surgery the plan does not end when you leave the hospital, and it does not end after the first month either. It can run for years. Loopa puts the moving parts in one place, so you can record what happened as it happens instead of reconstructing it in the waiting room.
The things there are to keep track of
Your care team makes your medical decisions. Loopa helps you track the plan.
Track the day. Bring the record to the appointment.
Loopa does not assume you have had an operation, or that you are going to have one. Choose the route you are on and the app brings what belongs to it, and and it names the parts a route does not carry rather than showing you an empty screen.
Whether you are exploring surgery or already have a date, Loopa organizes what belongs before one: what the published indications say, what each procedure changes, the habits worth practicing now, a countdown to your date, and the questions to take to your consultation. What Loopa does before surgery
Your stages, protein, fluids, the sip timer, your supplement schedule, lab reminders, the symptom journal, foods that sit well, stage-aware activity and your progress, in one place instead of five. What Loopa does after surgery
Not every weight-management journey involves an operation. Medical weight management, weight-management medication and endoscopic procedures each get their own track, carrying the tools that apply to them. What Loopa does without surgery
The picker is honest about the shape of each route before you pick one. A sleeve brings eating stages, a thirteen-line supplement schedule and a lab calendar. Medical weight management brings the activity progression, the symptom journal, foods that sit well, your weight trend and the education track. The parts a route does not carry are named in a short note rather than left blank.
Nothing on that screen decides anything about your care, and you can change your answer later.
What a bariatric track carries
Eating changes in stages after an operation, and almost everything else hangs off which one you are in. Loopa draws the progression as a timeline, with the day ranges the guideline gives, what belongs in each stage, and the exit criteria naming your team as the people who move you on.
Clear liquids, protein liquids, pureed foods, soft solids and regular textures, in that order, with day ranges of 0–1, 2–14, 15–28, 29–56 and 57 onward. The published guideline describes a low-sugar clear liquid program starting within about 24 hours and a staged progression guided by a dietitian. (source)
Loopa does not move you forward. It shows where you are, and beside it where the published reference calendar would place you. The app says so in those words: “A reference timeline, not your schedule. Your care team sets your actual dates and can send them straight into Loopa.”
More on the staged diet after surgery
Protein and hydration become daily priorities after an operation, and they are the two that slip. Instead of keeping a running total in your head, log what you have had and see it against the target for the stage you are in. The published guideline sets a minimum of 60 g of protein a day, up to 1.5 g per kg of ideal body weight, and hydration above 1.5 liters a day. (source)
The sip timer is for the liquid weeks, when intake happens in small amounts across the whole day and is easiest to lose track of. Log it once. See where you stand.
More on protein and fluid after surgery
After many procedures, supplementation is part of the routine for good. Loopa organizes it by nutrient, amount, route, frequency and the timing rules that apply, with each line carrying the guidance it came from. The ASMBS micronutrient table is written to prevent deficiency after these operations, and it is where every line and every range comes from. (source)
Separation rules are stored as data rather than written in a note, so when you set your own reminder times Loopa schedules around them and tells you when two reminders collide. Iron is to be taken in divided doses, separately from calcium. (source)
Nutrients, not sponsored products. Supplements are named by nutrient and dose, and there is no field in Loopa that could hold a brand, a product or a vendor.
More on the supplement schedule · More on reminders
Follow-up bloods carry on long after the operation, and they are easy to let slide because nothing reminds you. Loopa keeps the milestones visible so you know when it may be time to ask your care team about the next round. The published cadence is a nutrient assessment every three to six months in the first year and annually after that. (source)
Loopa reminds you about the schedule. Your care team interprets the results. It carries no reference ranges anywhere, because a range is an interpretation and interpretation is theirs.
A symptom is worth more to the person treating you when you can say what you felt, how strong it was, when it happened and what you had eaten. Loopa records those four, and keeping them is what answers the fifth question every clinician asks: has this happened before?
A record for the appointment. Not a diagnosis. Nothing reads your journal and concludes something is wrong with you, and nothing in the feature triages.
What agrees with you after an operation is yours, and it changes. Two people with the same procedure on the same stage tolerate different things, which is why nothing in Loopa hands you a list and why there is no ranking of foods anywhere in the feature.
Mark a food as one that sits well or one that does not, add your own note on why, and the list is there the next time you are staring at a menu or a fridge trying to remember.
Recovery and long-term life raise questions that do not fit in a food log. Loopa carries seventeen cards for the things that actually come up, each saying what the published guidance says, where the answer belongs with your care team, and, where a guideline backs it, a Source link to the guidance itself.
Early and late dumping are described as the international consensus describes them, with its dietary first line: smaller portions, fluids delayed about 30 minutes after a meal, simple sugars eliminated, protein-rich food eaten slowly. (source) The stage rules carry the same guidance, so the app is not saying two things.
Learn more about dumping syndromeNausea and vomiting, not drinking enough, gas and bloating, milk suddenly not agreeing with you, hair shedding around months three to six, reflux after a sleeve, and the week you cannot face another shake. Ordinary things, answered plainly.
The alcohol card quotes the long-term cohort evidence on alcohol use disorder after these operations. (source) The pregnancy card carries the published guidance to avoid pregnancy for 12 to 18 months after surgery, and the guideline that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be completely avoided. (source) Each points at your team for your own specifics.
A red-flag card sits on every route and is shown to everybody from the day they set one up. Two more cover ulcer symptoms after a bypass and band symptoms worth acting on.
Nothing in Loopa decides who is having an emergency. There is no triage anywhere in the feature and no screen that places a call. The card is there from day one precisely so that showing it is never something the app concluded about you. It names the signs and points you at the care that can answer them.
Loopa ships published reference information so you have something useful when your own program has not given you an electronic plan. That reference is not there to compete with your team. Your surgeon, dietitian, nurse coordinator or obesity-medicine physician can send supported parts of their own program straight into your account.
Eating stages with their own day windows, textures, protein and fluid targets, sip amounts, rules and exit criteria. Supplement lines by nutrient, dose, unit, frequency, route and separation rule. Lab milestones with their own panels and dates.
A section they fill in replaces the published one entirely, and the screen is headed Your care team’s protocol. A section they leave empty keeps the published reference, which is why the reference is there. Resolution is per stage rather than per field, so you never see a stage that is half theirs and half ours.
Nothing, and they need no Loopa account. They open a web form in a browser, fill it in and submit. Nothing is installed, no credential of theirs is stored, and the link works once.
Learn more about clinician protocols and coach supportYou are. You create the link, you decide whether to accept what comes back, and you can withdraw it later, at which point the published reference resumes and the app tells you so. How this works from their side
Three steps, and you start and finish both ends of them.
From inside Loopa you mint a single-use link and set a passcode, then hand both to your care team however suits you. You can have up to three open at once, and they expire on their own.
They open the link in a browser and fill in the form. No Loopa account, no sign-up, nothing to install. The link is spent once they submit.
What they sent does nothing until you open it. You see exactly what it would change first, and then you accept it, decline it, or withdraw it later.
Loopa does not run a clinician registry and does not claim to have checked anybody’s credentials. The person who knows who they handed the link to is you.
The screen says it in the app’s own words: your prescriber’s plan comes first. Where they have set something, Loopa shows theirs. Where they have not, it shows published guidance and labels it every time. Nothing they send changes anything until you accept it here.
You set a passcode and send it separately from the link, in a text or say it at the appointment. The link on its own will not open.
Connecting your care team’s protocol gives the clinic no access to your Loopa account. There is no dashboard on their side and no standing feed. When you want somebody to see your data, you make a read-only clinician share report and send its link yourself.
Pick a window of the last 30, 90 or 180 days, and create the report. It says first how complete your logging was, so nothing in it is read as more than it is, then carries your weight trend, your intake and nutrients on fully logged days, your medications and supplements with the doses you logged and the label-based interaction alerts Loopa surfaced, and a day-by-day table.
No permanent feed of your health data to the clinic. You start the share, it is read-only, it is stored encrypted under your own key for the duration of the share, it expires, and you can revoke it.
More on the clinician share report
Two experiences sit here. Exploring, where the question is still whether and which. And booked, where there is a date and a list of things your team expects you to have worked through before it. Loopa never supplies a stop date for a medication, and it never decides whether surgery is right for you.
Sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, one-anastomosis gastric bypass, duodenal switch or SADI-S, and adjustable gastric band. What each one changes anatomically, and what stays changed for life.
Learn more about what each procedure changesThe 2022 ASMBS and IFSO indications, quoted rather than summarized, with your care team named as the people who decide. (source) Nothing scores you against a threshold, ranks a procedure, or answers whether you are a candidate.
Learn more about who weight-loss surgery is forProtein first, drinks away from meals, chewing thoroughly, no carbonation and no straws, practiced before surgery while there is no pressure on them. Moving starts before surgery too: the published activity guidance begins pre-operatively, not after. (source) If you smoke, the guidance is to stop at least four weeks before. (source)
The education track carries the questions worth taking to a consultation, so you walk in with them rather than thinking of them on the way home. What each procedure changes, what the recovery asks of you, and what to expect of the follow-up.
Four stages from six weeks out: the evaluations and the habits, the pre-operative diet your team sets, the day before, and the fasting window. The published fasting guidance is solids until six hours before and clear liquids until two hours before induction, and your team’s own instruction outranks it. (source)
Learn more about preparing for surgeryA card that tells you to ask your team for their written list of what to pause and the exact dates, and to take it away with you. Loopa records what you tell it and supplies no stop date for anything, ever.
Learn more about medications and surgeryThe multisociety guidance puts this on shared decision-making between you and your procedural, anesthesia and prescribing teams. (source) The card says exactly that and points you at the conversation. It does not tell you to hold a dose.
Learn more about weight-management injections and anesthesiaNothing here ranks a procedure, scores you, recommends one or calculates candidacy. There is no screen in the feature that could, and that is checked rather than assumed.
Some people are working with a clinician through medical weight management, weight-management medication or an endoscopic procedure. Loopa gives those routes their own experience instead of pretending a surgical protocol applies to everyone.
A structured program of the kind the obesity management guideline describes: intake, activity and self-monitoring, sustained over months rather than weeks. (source) Loopa is the self-monitoring half of that, every day.
Learn more about non-surgical medical weight managementThe track sits alongside the medication protocol you already keep in Loopa rather than duplicating it, so your doses, your reminders and your refill runway stay in one place. See how Loopa tracks GLP-1 protocols
A balloon or an endoscopic sleeve gets its own four-stage return to food and its own follow-up rhythm, set by the team that placed it.
Learn more about balloon and endoscopic sleeve optionsNo bariatric supplement schedule and no follow-up lab calendar: both are written for people who have had an operation in the guidelines they come from (source). Loopa says so on the screen instead of showing you an empty one. A non-surgical route carries an ordinary adult multivitamin line, and anything further is a conversation with your clinician.
The staged diet is temporary. Follow-up is not. Loopa keeps the parts that still matter in front of you after the early weeks are over, which is most of the time you will spend on this.
The ASMBS supplement schedule exists specifically to prevent micronutrient deficiency after these procedures, alongside nutrient assessment every three to six months in the first year and annually after that. (source) Both stay on your hub long after the stages are finished with.
A systematic review of resistance training after these procedures found it consistently prevented strength loss, and prevented lean-mass loss in younger participants. (source) A meta-analysis found exercise training after surgery improves physical fitness, adds a small amount of weight and fat loss, and may help prevent bone loss and weight regain. (source) Loopa carries the published windows for when each kind of training starts, and the workout logger for the sets themselves.
The 2022 indications describe severe obesity as a chronic disease requiring long-term management after surgery. (source) Your weight trend, your measurements and your progress photos sit in the same app as the rest of it, for as long as you want them.
Between 15 and 40 percent of people experience recurrent weight gain after these operations. (source) There is a route for that, and Loopa shows a card when your weight moves 10 percent above your own lowest. It is a card, never a verdict, and it says why whenever it is not shown.
Learn more about weight recurrence after surgeryLoopa shows the published activity guidance for where you are in recovery. That is not the same as deciding that you personally are ready. See the published window; follow your care team’s clearance.
The progression is keyed to weeks since your procedure, and starts with the ordinary moving around that the first weeks are about.
The published guidance is resistance training from four to six weeks after surgery, two non-consecutive days a week, six to eight exercises, two sets at a weight you can lift eight to twelve times. (source) Loopa shows the window you are in, not a workout it decided you should do.
150 to 300 minutes of moderate cardio a week; water exercise once wounds have healed at around four weeks; higher-intensity work from eight to twelve weeks. (source) Each is shown as a window rather than an instruction.
If you work with a Loopa coach or trainer, you can share a little of what helps them support your training and habits. That does not give them your clinical record, and the split is enforced in the service rather than in the interface.
Which stage you are in and for how long. How many days you logged in the last two weeks, and your average protein and fluid against that stage’s target. How many supplement reminders are switched on, as a count. Which symptoms you flagged and how often over 30 days. That a care-team protocol exists, never what it says.
Any supplement name or amount, and any lab result or lab date. Your weight and anything measured from it. The notes you write on a symptom and the food beside it. Your food-tolerance list, the questions you wrote for your care team, and anything your care team sent in.
A coach supports the training and the habits. They cannot change your stage, your supplements or your lab schedule, and they cannot see what your care team wrote. There is no route in the app by which they could.
Your coach sees coaching information, not your medical record. Consent is per coach and per category, off by default, and revocable. Changing coach ends the old coach’s access in the same moment.
When Loopa shows you a published figure, whether a stage window, a protein target, a supplement range or a lab interval, the source it came from is one tap from the line it supports. Not a bibliography on a marketing page: a link on the screen where the number is. Anything that could not be verified to a source is not in the app at all.
Source links belong next to health information. Loopa ships a reference protocol assembled from guidance published by leading surgical, nutrition and gastroenterology societies and from peer-reviewed studies, all of them listed in Sources at the foot of this page.
The reference is a starting point, not an instruction. Where your care team sends their own program in, theirs replaces it. Where they have not, the timeline is labeled a reference one, because your dates are theirs to set and not ours to guess.
Two things can appear on the same screen, and Loopa always labels which one you are looking at.
Shown when your care team has not supplied that section. Clearly badged Reference guideline, sourced to published clinical guidance, and carrying the line that it is a reference timeline rather than your schedule.
Sent by them, accepted by you, and displayed under the heading Your care team’s protocol. It takes the place of the corresponding reference information, section by section, and you can withdraw it whenever you like.
If your care team tells you something different, follow your care team.
Loopa helps you organize information. It does not replace the people responsible for your care, and it is built so that it cannot drift into their job.
Track your stages, food, fluids and protein, and organize your supplements. Remember lab milestones, record symptoms and keep a list of foods you tolerate. Track activity, weight and measurements, and organize your progress. Share a record with your care team when you choose to.
Decide whether you should have surgery, choose your procedure or advance your stage. Diagnose a complication, prescribe anything or change a dose. Tell you when to stop a medication before surgery, or interpret a lab result. Replace your bariatric team.
The app keeps the record. Your care team makes the decisions.
No. There are thirteen routes and only six of them are post-operative. You can set up a track while you are still deciding, while you are waiting for a date, after an operation, years later in maintenance, or without an operation at all on medical weight management, weight-management medication or an endoscopic procedure. Choosing a route tells you what it includes before you commit to it.
Thirteen. Exploring surgery and surgery scheduled; sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, one-anastomosis gastric bypass, duodenal switch or SADI-S, adjustable gastric band and revision; medical weight management, weight-management medication and endoscopic procedures; plus long-term maintenance and weight coming back.
No, and it is built so that it cannot. Nothing in it ranks the procedures or recommends one. What it carries is the published guidance on what each procedure changes, quoted, with the source one tap away, and a standing line naming your care team as the people who decide.
No. Nothing scores you against a threshold or answers whether you are a candidate. There is no calculator for it and no screen that gives a verdict. The published indications are there to read; eligibility is a conversation with a bariatric team.
No. It shows the stage you are in and, beside it, where the published reference calendar would place you. The app labels that plainly: a reference timeline, not your schedule. Your care team decides when you actually move on, and every stage carries the exit criteria naming them as the people who say so.
Yes. You create a single-use link, protected by a passcode, and give it to them. They fill in a web form with no Loopa account, no sign-up and nothing to install. They can send eating stages, supplement lines and lab milestones. There is more on this on our page for clinicians.
No. What they send sits there doing nothing until you open it, and you see exactly what it would change before anything changes. You can accept it or decline it. If you accept, their stages, supplement lines and lab dates take the place of the published ones where they set them, and the screen is headed Your care team’s protocol.
Yes, whenever you like. Withdrawing takes the whole of what they sent back at once with stages, supplements and labs together, and the published reference resumes in its place, with the app telling you that is what happened. It is all or nothing on purpose: somebody who has taken their care team’s protocol back should not be left reading half of it.
No. Accepting a protocol from them gives them no view of your account at all. Nothing about you travels to anybody unless you send it, and what you send is a clinician share report you create yourself.
Yes. You pick a window of the last 30, 90 or 180 days and create a clinician share report, which your doctor opens from a read-only link. It says first how complete your logging was, then carries your weight trend, your intake and nutrients on fully logged days, your medications and supplements with the doses you logged and the label-based interaction alerts Loopa surfaced, and a day-by-day table.
Yes, at any time. Until then the clinician share report is stored encrypted under your own key, and revoking deletes the file rather than only the link. It also stops working on its own expiry date, every opening is recorded so you can see whether it was used, and Loopa never emails it anywhere. It goes where you send it and nowhere else.
No. A Loopa coach supports training and habits, and sees only what you switch on: which stage you are in and for how long, how many days you logged in the last two weeks against that stage’s protein and fluid target, how many supplement reminders you have on as a count, and which symptoms you flagged. They never see a supplement name or amount, a lab result or date, your weight, the notes you write, your food-tolerance list, or anything your care team sent in. It is off until you turn it on, and you can turn it off again.
Published clinical guidance and peer-reviewed studies, quoted rather than paraphrased, with a Source link on the line each figure supports. The staged progression back to food and the protein and fluid targets follow the 2013 clinical practice guidelines for the bariatric surgery patient; the supplement schedule and the lab cadence follow the ASMBS integrated health nutritional guidelines, 2016 update. Every source is listed at the bottom of this page and on our health sources page, and anything that could not be verified to a source is not in the app.
No. Nothing reads your log and concludes something is wrong with you. The symptom journal is a record you keep and take to an appointment. The one card about when not to wait is shown to everybody on the track from the day they set it up, precisely so that showing it is never something the app decided about you.
No, and it carries no reference ranges at all. It reminds you when the published cadence suggests a nutrient check and lists what to ask for. Reading the results is your care team’s job.
Never, for anything. Before a scheduled procedure it tells you to ask your team for their written list of what to pause and the exact dates, and to bring it away with you. It records what you tell it. It does not supply a stop date, and there is no screen in it that could.
Yes. Medical weight management, weight-management medication and endoscopic procedures each get their own track, with activity, the symptom journal, foods that sit well, your weight trend and the education track. Loopa also names the parts those routes do not carry rather than showing you empty screens: the bariatric supplement schedule and the follow-up lab calendar are written for people who have had an operation.
Yes, and it is the same set of screens on each: the track picker, the stages, the sip timer, supplements, labs, activity, the journals, the situation cards and the education track. One Loopa Premium covers both, and a Family plan covers up to six people across the two platforms.
The education track, the procedure guidance, the situation cards and the sources are free to read on both phones. Deciding whether this is for you should not cost anything. Running a track, meaning your stages, the sip timer, supplements, labs, activity, the journals and the care-team connection, is part of Loopa Premium, $12.99 a month or $69.99 a year, with Premium Family covering up to six people for $19.99 a month or $119.99 a year.
No. Loopa is for adults, 18 and over. The 2022 indications carry an adolescent recommendation and this feature deliberately does not.
Keep your stages, protein, fluids, supplements, labs, symptoms, activity and progress together in Loopa. Use the published guidance when you need a reference, use your care team’s program when they send one, and keep the record between appointments.
Free to start. Available for iPhone and Android.
Loopa shows you what the published guidelines say. It does not decide what procedure is right for you, and it never sets a dose. Your care team does both. Questions about your medication belong with your prescriber. Loopa records what you report and reflects it back. Where your care team says something different from anything here or anything in the app, follow them.
