@@gustavio, do you have it set up with your weight? I wonder if I manipulated that or took it out, if it would work?

Yes. I never eat more than 700-800 calories either.

I opened it back up and adjusted some of my numbers. It still thinks I need a minimum of 2500 calories a day. I am taking in somewhere between 800-1200, depending on my menu for that day. It doesn't like that at all.

Question for those using My Fitness Pal. Do you just ignore the big red warning that keeps popping up to say you aren't eating enough? MFP worked great pre-op, but now that I am post-op, it will not allow me to complete a day's entries.

I ignore the message. You can still close out the day, they just won't give you the estimate of what you'll lose in the next six weeks.

I really do wish there was a bariatric surgery override somewhere, but then those with eating disorders could misuse it so I understand why it isn't available.

Thank you. I didn't think it was closing the day out, because it kept popping the warning up. I don't really care if it predicts anything or not.

As for your second statement, I understand why THEY don't make it available (lawyers and all that) but I am a personal responsibility kind of a guy. Even though I am fat, I never blamed my fork, and all that. Just because people misuse a tool or product doesn't mean it should not be available to those who would not.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
