Have just begun using my fitness Pal and a flex fit, but my fitness pal keeps telling me I am not eating enough calories! I am getting my Protein and Water. Are others getting this reply?

You need to log in from a computer not a ipad etc and go to the website and go to advanced settings. You can change your calorie amount and everything there.

Yes, but I just ignore it! It's not designed specifically for WLS patients.

Yeah there is no way to get rid of that stupid message about eating under 1200 calories and going into starvation mode. I just ignore it. Sorry MFP, I am going to take the medical advice of my surgeon, physician, bariatric nurse practitioner, and registered dietician -- not alarmist claptrap from a bunch of computer programmers who have never even seen my medical records or met me!

If you don't click on the finish logging for the day button, you won't get the message. It will still log all your food, but you just won't see the message.

I ignore the message. I only use the MFP to look up food items & log them. This helps me to choose foods low in carbs & calories. I use my cell phone app for this & it does what I need. I then transfer the info to my DietMinder to keep track of food, Water & exercise.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
