Realize mySuccess
Does anyone know where to enter your Daily Nutrition Goals on the Realize my Success site? I see on the Patient Progress Summary Report next my Food Diary a space that says Patient Entered Daily Nutrition Goals for Calories, Fat, Carbs and Protein but I have no idea where to enter them on the site. I could call the help line but thought maybe someone on here might know.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I've actually found the Spark People food diary the easiest to use. www.sparkpeople.com You can use the nutrition goals it automatically generates for you or override them with what your nutritionist or doctor gives you. I've found the Realize mySuccess website to be awkward and slow. I'd really like to use it so my doctor can see my progress (or lack thereof) but I'm still getting used to it.

I was using just a small notebook myself but then I thought I'd go back to the Realize site to see if I could make it work and also because it is specifically for patients like us. So, with that in mind, maybe we could use it and give them more feedback to make it better for us and easier for us to use too.
I spent several hours last night copying nutritional information from foods I had entered on SparkPeople.com over to REALIZEmySUCCESS. I'm going to make a real effort to use mySUCCESS because of its visibility to my surgeon and nutritionist. It still feels a little clunky to me but maybe I'll get used to it.
YAY! I finally stumbled across the place where you can set your nutrition goals! Click on the apple icon on the left and then click on myFoodDiary under myNutrition.. You should see the Summary Data in the lower left quadrant of the page. In the lower right hand corner of the Summary Data block is a link marked "Edit Goals". Click that and another page opens where the nutrition goals can be entered.
