Help With Myfitnesspal



Recommended Posts

I just created an account on myfitnesspal and I am so LOST!! Please explain to me why it is saying I need to eat 2410 calories? I have not been banded yet, but I am not eating this many calories anymore, but I am afraid that I will not lose any weight now or either VERY VERY slowly!! Please HELP!!

I would suggest you sign into your account on a computer if you are using your phone....just to set things up. I thought it was easier.

From a computer select the "goals" tab from there you can adjust calories/fat/carbs...all that kind of stuff. Then its fine to use your phone for daily logins.

Hope that helps.

Thanks ladies, I will set it up manually. What is a good amount of Protein, carbs, sugars, and calories per day prior to lapband surgery?

Everyone is a little different. Im sticking to a high protein/low carb diet so my numbers are 800 calories/60protein/30carbs with 40 mins walking 3 day a a week and 15 mins on the elliptical with 15 min weight use the oposite days.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
