If you plan to count calories then yes. It has a very large database of foods and you can scan barcodes too. There's a couple of other apps- lose it and spark people I think are two others. Check them out and see which one you like.

I started using MFP way before even considering lapband surgery and still use it today. It's a great way to keep track of not only calories, but Protein, fat, sugar and Water too.

I feel its a must when you're first starting out.

I just got MFP not to long ago, so I have no friends added for support. I'm not banded yet or even on my pre-op liquid diet lol but started using it to try and lose a little weight myself..it won't let me add friends by just using their user name, only by e-mail. So if anyone is kind enough to share their e-mail with me so I can add you, i'd really appreciate it.

My e-mail is: christina5064@att.net

User name: chris_tina8304

Please add

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
