If you plan to count calories then yes. It has a very large database of foods and you can scan barcodes too. There's a couple of other apps- lose it and spark people I think are two others. Check them out and see which one you like.

I started using MFP way before even considering lapband surgery and still use it today. It's a great way to keep track of not only calories, but Protein, fat, sugar and Water too.

I feel its a must when you're first starting out.

I just got MFP not to long ago, so I have no friends added for support. I'm not banded yet or even on my pre-op liquid diet lol but started using it to try and lose a little weight myself..it won't let me add friends by just using their user name, only by e-mail. So if anyone is kind enough to share their e-mail with me so I can add you, i'd really appreciate it.

My e-mail is: christina5064@att.net

User name: chris_tina8304

Please add

      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.
