MyFitnessPal paid version here. Make sure you turn off the setting that "adds" your calories from exercise to your food allowance unless you are firmly in maintenance, though. (Sadly, this is a paid feature.)

I am a myfitnesspal paid version fan, though there are several things I don't like.

1. Too many glossy pictures of food. I am trying to avoid all the glamour surrounding food. Food should be a tool to stay alive or prevent illness. Most of the obesity epidemic is due to advertising. The remainder is due to ignorance about nutrition, nutrition labels and the actions of unscrupulous food processors.

2. Much of the data is untrustworthy. People constantly post foods that don't even have all the information on a nutrion panel let alone the correct info.

3. I have to enter the nutrition data myself in my foods section for everthing I eat.

4. Myfitnesspal is not providing support for bariatric people or for people that weigh all of their foods.

I have been using myfitnesspal for over 7 years now and lost over 100 lb three times while using it. It otherwise is the best thing out there to use.

I switched from MFP+ to MyMacros+ and I like it so, so much better... and absolutely zero photos of food.

Thanks Vikingbeast, I will look it over. I have already paid for premium mfp, though.

Yah, I had too, and decided to look at MFP+ as a sunk cost. MM+ is better.

      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.

      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.
