i dont know if this is what your asking but another member said her daily goals where 600-800 calories, max 40g carbs, min 60 g Protein and 64 oz of liquids plus the Vitamins as prescribed....i liked the guidelines and have adopted them as my own. :)

im not going to worry about the fat...not going to go crazy but not counting it either...im basically going to do like a modified atkins...my biggest thing because im bottom heavy is not overdoin the carbs.

I set my calories at 800 and left everything else the mfp auto adds for everything else. I follow the 600 - 800 cal/60 + prot/60 + fluid/max 40 carbs plan. I normally air for only 600 calories and less the 20 carbs so I stay in ketosis. You can add me if you want- hollirrose. My food log is open. Im down about 147 lbs (a few pre op) in 7 months. I look at others on mfp to get food ideas and just to see what everyone else is doing.

Oh I didn't know we could set our own goals other than calories, also how do you add people on there?

I'm also on MFP and I really think it helps to have friends that can help you with suggestions. I really like that you can look at food diaries to add to my menu. I hope you don't mind if I add you both. My name is meliss000, those are zeros

I did it from a computer. I dont think you have the option from the phone app.

      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.
