Have just begun using my fitness Pal and a flex fit, but my fitness pal keeps telling me I am not eating enough calories! I am getting my Protein and Water. Are others getting this reply?

You need to log in from a computer not a ipad etc and go to the website and go to advanced settings. You can change your calorie amount and everything there.

Yes, but I just ignore it! It's not designed specifically for WLS patients.

Yeah there is no way to get rid of that stupid message about eating under 1200 calories and going into starvation mode. I just ignore it. Sorry MFP, I am going to take the medical advice of my surgeon, physician, bariatric nurse practitioner, and registered dietician -- not alarmist claptrap from a bunch of computer programmers who have never even seen my medical records or met me!

If you don't click on the finish logging for the day button, you won't get the message. It will still log all your food, but you just won't see the message.

I ignore the message. I only use the MFP to look up food items & log them. This helps me to choose foods low in carbs & calories. I use my cell phone app for this & it does what I need. I then transfer the info to my DietMinder to keep track of food, Water & exercise.

      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.
