    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
