We're working on adding capabilities to our site and app which are similar to MFP. It's designed with Gastric Sleeve and other Bariatric members in mind. Do you have any suggestions on features you're unhappy with or would like to see changed or added within MFP ?

I have adjusted it as others have here but I would like a site (with app) that allows simply to individually put in directly amounts for Protein and other factors. When I did my adjustment on MFP, it was playing with it to try to get it closest to what I want. Also if it were possible to have a range for Protein with a minimum requirement but factor in over protein but not have it show as a factor in the red. I am pre-op but was told to aim for 60 and no more than 100 grams per day. I realize that post-op, my digestive system and intake will change but it is discouraging to be working hard and see RED, you made an error, when really you just had 65 grams of protein. I first tried MFP when I started working with the NUT in July and stopped because of issues like this. Only this week, other members on this forum told me how to adjust it. That is great and I am enjoying this easier way to track my food but it still ticks me off to see RED when I am doing what I am instructed to do. Having family who works in tech design, I realize how hard wished for is to get in actual products. But since you asked.....and thank you for such a wonderful resource for help and support!

;)

A big step up would be not having the program yell at me for eating too few calories every day, lol.

Also, I like the friends and status updates. It's always fun to see how other people are doing. A "like" feature would be nice too.

A super cool feature would be that you would be able to print out reports on your progress to take to your doctor. Something with just your averages with date parameters you could set would be great.

Also it would be great if we could track liquid intake by ounces instead of 8 ounce glasses. I have been keeping track of meal time in the notes but it would be nice to be able to see the time at a glance right next to the meal.

You can add me 2012ALM, just started using it yesterday, had an account for awhile but the food list did not seem that good, but now it is awesome! Way better than writing down everything in a journal.

Alex, it would be nice to have an app for other phones. I have a smart phone but none of the ones they list, can't they make a mini browser or something so everyone can access it? I tried to access the website on my phone, but no way to log in.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
