Hi Everyone,

I am a fellow lap-bander (banded October '09) and I use MyFitnessPal.com to track my foods, exercise and weight loss goals. It's a great tool. Are any of you members? It is free, if you are interested.

If you are members or become members, what do you think of becoming "buddies" on this site so we can look at what each other eats and excercise, etc. for help and tips?

Reply here or PM me if you're interested. I can give you my email address and you can look it up on Myfitnesspal.com so we can be linked.

Be well,

Renee

I'm on MFP as serenity_lynn if anyone would like to join up there as well

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.

Hi I will be your friend. I'm not sure how it works but I'm sure I can figure it out. I have the app but don't use it much.

Add me micheleost .. Love MFP

@ alex...I would like to include bariatric info like cal intake suggestions. Meals. Supplements.etc....ability to give suggestions on food substitute

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.

All please add me to mfp my username is janette1969 I believe and follow me I have lost a total of 55 pounds

I am Pocafoitballmom. Yes thats correct. Lol. I made a typo when I made my profile. I would love to have friends but dont know how to add them.

XiolaBlue77 feel free to add me:)

I love MFP, such a wonderful support group. I will be trying to find the scan feature later today, I'm hellbent46, add me.

I love, live, breathe, my fitness pal. It's great. If anyone would like to add me as a friend I carry the same user name.

Sorry it's nvinson1982

Still not working

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.

Would love for anyone to add me on MFP, I'm 10 weeks out and my name is tearle1, thank you!
