Any pre-ops using My Fitness Pal?



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for 2/17/14. I've begun trying to lose some weight pre-op and use my fitness pal to track my food and exercise. Anyone else scheduled for jan or February surgery or recently had surgery in December? Trying to find people that will be around the same stage as I am when I am post-op. Thanks!

My user name for MFP is chechelrachel.

Yes, I like My Fitness Pal. I got a FitBit for Christmas that tracks my steps and my sleep, and it can track my food too, but the reason I like My Fitness Pal is that it gives me a nutrient summary for the day so I can watch my Protein, sodium, sugars, Fiber etc. So, I use My Fitness Pal for my diet log and FitBit for my exercise and sleep log.

BTW my surgery is in 10 days. It is very exciting.

Sleeved 12/23. I lost 27 pounds on a 4 month pre-op with MFP being by best tool. It really helped to be honest with myself about Portion Control and what I was actually eating.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
