Alex I'd love to see a fitness app that had these things: My fitness pal doesn't allow you to input what time you ate a meal. That would be a nice feature. It syncs with my Jawbone Up which I like. It also doesn't allow you to delete favorite foods. They seem to be stuck there forever and that is not good. If your new app addressed those things that would be great.

I use MFP. My doctor told me to watch my Protein and net carbs. Not to worry about my calories. MFP helps me with that and my exercise. I am still learning how to use it....

On MFP I have noticed that every day it is telling me that I am not meeting my goal for intake and that it could prevent me from losing. I simply CAN NOT take in what it says I am alotted, nor do I care to! Is there any way to tell it that I have a much smaller caloric intake goal now that I am a bari patient? Or do I just have to keep ignoring what it's telling me??

MFP is not set up for bariatric patients. It is set up for the typical 1200-1660 calorie diet. When you eat less than that it give that warning message. Simply ignore it

You can set up the time you eat when you are setting up your food diary. Go to settings>Food and Exercise Diary Settings and scroll down to midway.

@@BLERDgirl Thanks, I see the settings you are referring to. But it doesn't allow me to put in the actual time I ate lunch today for instance. Maybe I have lunch set for 11:30 - 1:30 but I'm running late that day and I want to put in 2:00pm. I don't see where you can do that

@@Ivanova8 - I understand now. I never needed to enter the exact time I eat. I just mentally make a note to eat 3-4 hours after Breakfast. I suppose you could use your phone and just log in on the calender. If you find an app that works the way you want, could you post it here? I'd be interested in seeing it.

@@tiffanyaok Thanks Tiffany. Do you like using the app?

I do wonder though why they picked a donut and a wine glass for their food and drink icons. Visually that's definitely not helpful.

      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.
