I currently don't measure anything but thought coming upto 6 months and loosing some hair, thought I might just try and track my Protein. I have never been given a goal each day but would be happy to hear from people on what their goals are on my fitness pal??? I think 60gms of protein is about normally and between 800-1000 calories, once again not really sure :(

I'm 3-1/2 months out and get a minimum of 75 G Protein and eat 750-950 calories a day. I love my fitness pal and think it helps me even more than my surgery at times.

I'm at 45% Protein, 30% fat, 25% carb....no, I don't always achieve that but I do try.

I shoot for 70g Protein, no more than 30-40g carbs, and 100 oz Water. I don't worry too much about the sugar because with sticking to those three main goals, the sugar and fat is usually right where it needs to be. Same with calories. I don't really count them too much. I try to stick to my Protein and carb goals and then the calories usually end up between 550-750.

So far my doctor has recommended 80-100 g of Protein a day and an upper limit for carbs. I don't even pay attention to the percentages and calorie goals that mfp gives because its just not reflective of my actual needs or my doctor's recommendations. I just look at my running totals for protein and carbs, which is all I'm really trying to focus on at this point.

I have my fitness pall set to: carbohydrates 20 Protein 60 fats 20. My calorie intake is set to 700. I'm getting in about 500 to 600 calories a day. I hope I'm on the right track. I see the nutritionist in august.

Like livvsmum I use My Fitness Pal, and try very hard to keep carbs below 30 g per day and have been getting between 60-70 g Protein each day. Where I struggle is with my Water intake. I make it a point every morning to say that I'm going to do better today, but I don't get that much in. It's hard with having to wait 30 minutes after eating something and trying to stop drinking at least 15 minutes before you start to eat. I'm just not a big fan of plain Water and need to add some crystal light or something to make it taste better. But I don't really worry about calories; just try to avoid the carbs and sodium as much as possible.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
