I recently met with the nutritionist in my surgeon's office (I'm 3 months post sleeve surgery), and she said I should be getting around 1200 calories?! That seems too high to me. When I said that, she said to enter my goal weight into myfitnesspal, and

Is anyone here on My Fitness Pal who would be willing to be friends? Looking for VSG MFP friends whose food diaries I could view. If so, I'm jeepsportgirl on MFP. 

Thanks!

I've seen a few people refer to the "honeymoon" period. What does this mean exactly? 

Also, I've seen a few people mentioning counting calories. Is there a calorie range you attempt to stay within? I logged my pureed food in MFP today and feel

Hi! I'm just about 2 weeks post surgery and still feeling really good!  It is still surreal that I really took this step!

I had my VSG surgery/hiatal hernia repair Monday morning and today I woke up feeling pretty good after a good nights sleep. I got up during the night twice to pee, but other than that slept well! I'm working hard to get my liquids in. I feel like all I

I have my final weigh in today in about 2 hours! Nervous as all heck!!!! Surgery next Monday. Anyone else having surgery next Monday? I'm getting really nervous and wondering if I am making the right choice. I believe deep down I am, but the doubt is s

I finally got my surgery date! August 10th. I am curious what brand of protein shakes you all used post-surgery. I wasn't told anything about needing to do a liquid diet pre-surgery. Post-surgery he said I would need to be using whey protein and that I

I have my pre-surgery endoscopy this Wednesday. I feel super nervous, as I'm "only" down 8 pounds in 6 weeks. I lose weight SO slowly, always have (hence the reason I've never stuck to a diet long enough to hit goal). I'm worried my doctor is going to

I'm mid way through the process of preparing for my VSG surgery. I had my psych eval tonight; my endoscopy is may 13th, and they expect i will have lost 13 pounds by may 21st. I'm very nervous as I'm struggling so far. The doctor I'm using requires his
