I set MFP primarily for the grams of Protein and carbs and let the MFP program calculate the fats. I use olive oil regularly and butter when I want it. I'd rather use butter than manufactured margarine...I don't care who makes it....it manufactured!

80 g Protein, 60 g carbs, 30 g fat and 10g Fiber. At 800 calories it's 40/30/30 % I don't think healthy fats are bad, they keep your skin and hair nice and keep you full longer. I love avocado, nut butters, olives and olive oil and my new favorite, rice bran oil.

It has taken some fiddling but my body does better with 30%Protein, 45% carbs and th difference in fats. but it is very good carbs, no Pasta, no potato, no corn, only a tiny amount of whole wheat bread products, and only the sugar that is in foods.

still i need 1700+ calories a day so that is 150+ grams of protein--and it is a challenge to get it all in each day.

if i drop below that amount i stop losing weight ( go figure).

(of course i do exercise 8 to 10 hours a week now that my knee doesn't hurt.)

experiment around a bit and see what works best for you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
