Bariatric Macro Tracking and feedback fixes

Hi - it would be GREAT if there were a workflow set up for bariatric post-op users. Features:
- Let me set goals and calculations that apply for those of us who have had weight loss surgery (basically Protein and fluid intake, Supplements - Bariatric multi, Calcium, Iron)
- Turn OFF the feature that scolds you for low calorie intake. We typically eat between 600-800 calories/day for the first year or so. Being told "you're not eating enough" and blocking the news post is a disincentive and doesn't align with our situation.
- add health trackers for us to log our blood labs over time (we track a ton of nutrients every few months to make sure we are not malnourished).
