Is there a place to determine what I would need since my needs are a little different after having lapband

    You need to follow whatever diet your doctor has provided you. Your meals are going to be very tiny and your calories much lower than MFP will approve.

    I had weightloss surgery last Aug. Feel free to add me and ask questions. I still eat about 1200 calories a day. I supplement with vitamins and I do keep up on the protein. The first 6 months were the hardest for me.

    You should have been provided a dietary plan by your doctor and/or dietitian. You must follow that plan. To use MFP with that plan, you can manually change goals for MFP by going to Goals, Change Goals, Custom.

    MFP has pre-set goals. Some of these can be changed individually but some...like the min. calories per day (MFP is set at 1200) cannot. You will get a warning message from MFP when you fall below 1200 but no biggie...just ignore it.

    Stick with your Dr.'s orders. YOu won't b eating so little forever. Eventually you will eat more "normally".

    I had mine a few years ago, lost most of the weight right away and then decided to go further, that's how I ended up here! I had the bypass
