Myfitnesspal

I reactivated myfitnesspal account a couple of weeks ago.  I'm finally actually using it for pre-op liquid diet.  Please add me to yours.  My username is the same as OH.  Jarabacoagirl.   Thanks!!

I am new to this fitness pal thing- my surgery is this wednesday. Is it easy to use? I have to do week 1 Isopure protein juice drinks, water and broth.

 

my NUT never told me how many calories to have yet, is that normal?

Yes, my fitness pal is very user friendly.  If you have a smartphone there's an application for it too.  But you don't need a smart phone.  It's great for journaling your food to keep track of what you ate.  You know how that's always recommended for food journaling. 

Every preop diet is varies from what I understand.  My NUT didn't give a calorie / carb guideline either.  But I have heard that some recommend staying under 60 carbs in the preop and 40 in the post op losing phase.  It's tricky in my plan cause my NUT did add in some carbs on the food list.  But I've heard it needs to be really low carb to shrink your liver to make surgery more safe.  Sounds like if yours is just shakes and broth, jello etc you don't have to worry.  Just try to stay under 1000 calories I've heard.  Yesterday was so hard on the diet for me.  The first day was easier.  I don't know why.  I was so hungry it was ridiculous.  lol  I couldn't sleep so I had to keep drink more in order to sleep so I did go over yesterday it was I think I had around 1150 calories and 75 carbs.  :-(     Today I'm gonna try to do better and stay under the 60 carbs 1000 calorie guideline that others on OH have mentioned. (as long as I can sleep lol)  But like I said according to my NUT's plan I didn't go off of it. 

I am Auveca on MFP also!  Good to meet you!
