When do you start counting calories and protein?

I started counting my Water intake and my Protein as soon as I got home. A few weeks ago I joined myfitnesspal to better track and then realized I wasn't getting in nearly as much protein as I thought!

I just had my 2 week post op on July 2nd. My doctor gave me my calorie range and exercise requirements to lose 3 lbs each week. Use My Fitness Pal like others have said. It makes calorie counting all poo st effortless. You can also track your exercise and Water. Easy to use and you always have it handy.

I'm down 20 lbs since June 11 when I started pro op diet. I like it. Good luck.

Actually, MFP makes calorie counting ALMOST effortless. Predictive text sucks!

I started counting (logging on line) calories and Protein at week 3, that is when I started full liquids, so up until then, big deal. Right?? I'm three years out and I still long on line daily. It's just routine, part of my new life.

I started tracking on MFP on Day 2. In almost three months post op now and it has helped tremendously.
