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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
