On MyFitnessPal, you can go to:

HOME

GOALS

CHANGE GOALS

And input what you want for pre-op calories, Protein, Carbs, Fiber or whatever else your NUT wants you to focus on.

I put in 1000 cals (too many, but the closest I could get with the right protein), 125g carbs (we only need 120 but again, the closest I could get), 75g Protein (which is exactly what my doct and NUT want) and 25 grams of Fiber.

Now I can count down WITHOUT referring back to my book constantly. I am not in pre-op yet, but I am trying to ease down and it's annoying to see I have so much left over each day. Just an FYI!

Pre-op starts Thursday for 2 weeks, surgery on the 16th.

Hi all! I added a recipe to myfitnesspal but I wasn't sure the number of servings. How do you figure that out? I feel dumb even asking.

I have to make the recipe first. And measure it out with measuring cups (depending on what it is)

Is there another way?

I have been using MFP for awhile now and when I adjust the intake, after surgery, to the numbers my doctor suggested, even going under custom settings it will skew other numbers and won't stay at what I have set.

Does anyone know how to fix it so I can personalize all the settings?

      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.
