Any pre-ops using My Fitness Pal?



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for 2/17/14. I've begun trying to lose some weight pre-op and use my fitness pal to track my food and exercise. Anyone else scheduled for jan or February surgery or recently had surgery in December? Trying to find people that will be around the same stage as I am when I am post-op. Thanks!

My user name for MFP is chechelrachel.

Yes, I like My Fitness Pal. I got a FitBit for Christmas that tracks my steps and my sleep, and it can track my food too, but the reason I like My Fitness Pal is that it gives me a nutrient summary for the day so I can watch my Protein, sodium, sugars, Fiber etc. So, I use My Fitness Pal for my diet log and FitBit for my exercise and sleep log.

BTW my surgery is in 10 days. It is very exciting.

Sleeved 12/23. I lost 27 pounds on a 4 month pre-op with MFP being by best tool. It really helped to be honest with myself about Portion Control and what I was actually eating.

      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! 😞
