Alex I'd love to see a fitness app that had these things: My fitness pal doesn't allow you to input what time you ate a meal. That would be a nice feature. It syncs with my Jawbone Up which I like. It also doesn't allow you to delete favorite foods. They seem to be stuck there forever and that is not good. If your new app addressed those things that would be great.

I use MFP. My doctor told me to watch my Protein and net carbs. Not to worry about my calories. MFP helps me with that and my exercise. I am still learning how to use it....

On MFP I have noticed that every day it is telling me that I am not meeting my goal for intake and that it could prevent me from losing. I simply CAN NOT take in what it says I am alotted, nor do I care to! Is there any way to tell it that I have a much smaller caloric intake goal now that I am a bari patient? Or do I just have to keep ignoring what it's telling me??

MFP is not set up for bariatric patients. It is set up for the typical 1200-1660 calorie diet. When you eat less than that it give that warning message. Simply ignore it

You can set up the time you eat when you are setting up your food diary. Go to settings>Food and Exercise Diary Settings and scroll down to midway.

@@BLERDgirl Thanks, I see the settings you are referring to. But it doesn't allow me to put in the actual time I ate lunch today for instance. Maybe I have lunch set for 11:30 - 1:30 but I'm running late that day and I want to put in 2:00pm. I don't see where you can do that

@@Ivanova8 - I understand now. I never needed to enter the exact time I eat. I just mentally make a note to eat 3-4 hours after Breakfast. I suppose you could use your phone and just log in on the calender. If you find an app that works the way you want, could you post it here? I'd be interested in seeing it.

@@tiffanyaok Thanks Tiffany. Do you like using the app?

I do wonder though why they picked a donut and a wine glass for their food and drink icons. Visually that's definitely not helpful.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
