We're working on adding capabilities to our site and app which are similar to MFP. It's designed with Gastric Sleeve and other Bariatric members in mind. Do you have any suggestions on features you're unhappy with or would like to see changed or added within MFP ?

I have adjusted it as others have here but I would like a site (with app) that allows simply to individually put in directly amounts for Protein and other factors. When I did my adjustment on MFP, it was playing with it to try to get it closest to what I want. Also if it were possible to have a range for Protein with a minimum requirement but factor in over protein but not have it show as a factor in the red. I am pre-op but was told to aim for 60 and no more than 100 grams per day. I realize that post-op, my digestive system and intake will change but it is discouraging to be working hard and see RED, you made an error, when really you just had 65 grams of protein. I first tried MFP when I started working with the NUT in July and stopped because of issues like this. Only this week, other members on this forum told me how to adjust it. That is great and I am enjoying this easier way to track my food but it still ticks me off to see RED when I am doing what I am instructed to do. Having family who works in tech design, I realize how hard wished for is to get in actual products. But since you asked.....and thank you for such a wonderful resource for help and support!

A big step up would be not having the program yell at me for eating too few calories every day, lol.

Also, I like the friends and status updates. It's always fun to see how other people are doing. A "like" feature would be nice too.

A super cool feature would be that you would be able to print out reports on your progress to take to your doctor. Something with just your averages with date parameters you could set would be great.

Also it would be great if we could track liquid intake by ounces instead of 8 ounce glasses. I have been keeping track of meal time in the notes but it would be nice to be able to see the time at a glance right next to the meal.

You can add me 2012ALM, just started using it yesterday, had an account for awhile but the food list did not seem that good, but now it is awesome! Way better than writing down everything in a journal.

Alex, it would be nice to have an app for other phones. I have a smart phone but none of the ones they list, can't they make a mini browser or something so everyone can access it? I tried to access the website on my phone, but no way to log in.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
