I am wanting to look at what other bandsters eat on a daily basis just to get ideas of what I should be eating. My friend told me there was a way to look at what other people are logging, but you have to have their member name. Does anyone else use myfitnesspal.com that would be willing to "share" their meal plans?

I have just started being "religious" about logging meals this week, so my log is a little bare for now. I have had an account, but just started logging daily yesterday. My username is Lea3277

I am brbm6672. I have been using myfitness pal since pre-op. I credit it for my success this far! I am very accountable with my food now.

I just downloaded the app for my iphone and I set it up for 2 pounds a week. It says I can intake like 2120 calories a day with 30 minutes of exercise 4 days a week. Is that right? I am hoping to be cleared for the mushy stage on Thursday so I figured this could help with accountability btut 2120 seems like a lot of calories I guess.

Lea - I just friended you and my food diary is set to share with my friends...HTH!

I don't use their suggested calories...it just isn't practical for bandsters. You can set your own calorie level by logging in on-line and under the "My Home" tab choose "Goals" and then click "Change Goals". I have mine set for 1,200 calories.

You're welcomed to look at mine. Hopefully I have it set so you can see what I'm eating. I'm 2 1/2 wks post op, so still not the healthiest choices because I'm on mushies, but getting better. I update mine every day, I LOVE IT!!!! My user name is the same as here.

Can I be your friend, too?

I am 4 weeks post-op yesterday and now cleared to eat "regular" food!

Im on there and my food diary is public !!! MelissaNY =) i like to have all of us on there also too see ideas and share ect =)

Hey, will you all add me? I'm luna02525 on mfp, too! I'm on day 1 of a 2 week liquid diet due to a stretched pouch though so it won't be too much to look at! Also, how do you make your diary public?

Hey luna02525.

I will add you, unless you've already added me

To make your diary public, go to settings, then look for diary settings...then find the box that lets you choose to allow your friends to see your diary. The default is private.
