I started using this app and love it. However It is not specifially geared twords WLS patients because there is no specific feature to choose. The most weight loss option is 2lbs per week. So for me it says my daily intake on calories should be 2310. I am on my 4th week getting my first fill today and starting the gym tomorrow. I am finding it hard to hit more than 1700 calories.I eat three meals mostly consiting of Cream Of Wheat, Cottage cheese, Tuna Fish,Egg Whites with cheese Fruit and some other stuff. I will be starting regular foods but I will stick to these healthy items as staples. I am going to buy poweder for my Protein but also keep my fridge stocked with Coscto Protein shakes in case I need some extra protein. So the app... Its great for counting the calories, carbs, protein and Vitamin intake but I think the calories might be off for WLS people ( 2310 seems very high for me) vs the average Joe.

Any thoughts?

Use the custom setting. I set mine at 1000 calories and set my carbs and fats where I want them. The Protein is super high, but that is ok, all I look at is how much I have consumed that day and it helps to guide my eating. And yes, when I remember to close out my day, it gives me the message that I am undereating, but I just don't pay any attention to it. It, like everything else, is a tool for me to use to help me with my personal journey.

You need to use the custom settings. Like bromo said, I set it for 1000 calories and 50 grms protein and just use it as a gauge to make sure I am not overeating and getting in my protein. It keeps me honest and I can print it out for the dietician.

This week I go in for my consultation. I really enjoy reading everyone's stories, feedback, advice etc. It is definitely helping me make a decision & have as much knowledge as possible ahead of time. Is anyone interested in adding me on myfitnesspal so I can follow your food diary for a bit? Just want to get some ideas. Thanks
