i have used it almost every day for the past 8 months! i bookmarked it! the only times i dont add what i eat is when i am out of town usually, but even then i find a way to sneak on a computer, and if i am eating weird foods that aren't on their database (Though they have a LOT, you'd be surprised what you find) i just guesstimate the calories and stuff

be sure you write in EVERYTHING you put in your mouth! i find that when i do that, even over-estimate on some things, it causes me to stop eating even more because i dont like going over the pre-set calorie goals.

also, it has a graph that shows your weight progression! its great to see that it actually WORKS! some days i feel horrible because i havent lost any weight even though i ate the right number of calories, etc, but when i keep track overall, i found that i am actually losing right along with what the site says i should be! its brilliant!

I like fitday.com because it has charts that show my progress over time. I also save my favorite foods there so it is fast and easy.

      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.
