How do you add friends on there? I went to community and I could not see anywhere to add friends or how exactly this site works. I have only seen where you log in your food.< /p>

At the top right side there are several icons. 2nd from the right is one that looks like 3 little people, tap on that one and then you should see a row of blue tabs underneath those icons. Click on the one that says Friends, to the right of News. Once you are on that page at the bottom is a blue icon that says Add A Friend. The page looks like you are requesting to invite them to the app itself but it's not, it's a friend request invite :)

Another tip is clicking on the icon to the left of that people icon that looks somewhat like a graph. This is where you can plug in your weight changes and measurements if you want to. Hope this helps!!!

Thank you SO much!! I have been asking this over and over and trying to figure that site out. I really need to do better tracking cause it's so much easier to gain

weight back by now.

So Im wondering about Myfitnesspal. It gives the suggestion for how many calories etc etc. 1200 seems like a lot with this little pouch. Should I follow the suggestions about calories, carbs, Protein. The protein is low and the carbs are high.

Im confused about using this tool. Can someone shed light on how they use it effectively as a sleever?

Thanks

You have to manually adjust your goals to what your doctor said you should be taking in. For instance I'm supposed to be around 800 calories, 80 grams of Protein, and 80 or less of carbohydrates (the less the better for me) and so on.. so when you set your goals choose the manual entry option. you can adjust everything however you need to. And you can choose what elements it tracks every day. (calories, fat, carbs, Calcium, protein, etc.) It's a great thing to use to keep you on track.

Oh, and everyday when you complete your food log- It WILL tell you that you're starving to death. Just ignore that. ;)

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
