I just created an account on myfitnesspal and I am so LOST!! Please explain to me why it is saying I need to eat 2410 calories? I have not been banded yet, but I am not eating this many calories anymore, but I am afraid that I will not lose any weight now or either VERY VERY slowly!! Please HELP!!

I would suggest you sign into your account on a computer if you are using your phone....just to set things up. I thought it was easier.

From a computer select the "goals" tab from there you can adjust calories/fat/carbs...all that kind of stuff. Then its fine to use your phone for daily logins.

Hope that helps.

Thanks ladies, I will set it up manually. What is a good amount of Protein, carbs, sugars, and calories per day prior to lapband surgery?

Everyone is a little different. Im sticking to a high protein/low carb diet so my numbers are 800 calories/60protein/30carbs with 40 mins walking 3 day a a week and 15 mins on the elliptical with 15 min weight use the oposite days.

      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! 😞
