I know many of us use MFP. If you would like to add me my name is the same as here, smmrsue.

Just be kind... I am honest, if I faulted and have McDonalds it gets logged. It has helped me to pass by drive-thrus and many an occasion.

I hope we can get a Springers MFP group going! Plus, I love seeing what everyone is eating :)

BTW- I hate autocorrect and the spelling/grammar errors it creates from my phone. I apologize.

Ok you'll have to explain "MFP"

and as far as auto correct... OMG I hate that on my phone! I text clients and get things all screwed up but it's a handy excuse when I misspell words! :)

MFP is My Fitness Pal.

It's available via both smartphone and Internet. It logs all of your calories, exercises, goals, and you can even scan barcodes with your phone. It also has a handy tool that breaks down what you are eating in pie chart form (I.e. Carbs, Protein, fats, veggies, etc).

If you have friends you can see each others meals and calories and encourage each other.

I love it.

Brokenwings- you can start by doing it online, once you get the smart phone app, it will sync no matter where you do it. You don't have to add friends until after vacation ;)

You are getting so close! I love your countdown ticker but couldn't figure out how to create one the showed days. (Yes, I am definitely technology-challenged.)

Thanks for explaining it. I have seen it and FitBit mentioned at LBT. Do you think the calories are accurate? I am asking only because I saw someone post somewhere else that they think the calories in foods are listed too low.

So far the calories have been very accurate for what I've been doing. If there is a choice between the same item, I always go with the higher calories. Also, there is a way for someone to input their own item with calories, but you can tell because it will say unverified in the nutrition section of that item. So, I never choose those, unless I create my own.

      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.
