How can I edit a "meal" that I've saved?
Good morning! On the site, and in my MFP App, I added the stuff I ate, and since I eat the same regularly, saved that as a meal. I've now done this several times and it's very helpful and timesaving. The problem is, I need to go back in and standardize the title/name of all these saved meals, and I don't see an "EDIT"…

Tips for avoiding slippery slope?
Hi guys, Had Bypass in April and I'm down about 100 pounds from my highest (about 5 pounds from where I want to be really) but I am running into issues. I'm a compulsive eater and when the decision was made to get surgery (even before surgery) I was ok with just eating when I was hungry and sticking to protein shakes and…

Day 4: still higher than surgery day...
So... My surgery was last Wednesday at about 2pm. Got home from the hospital around Friday at 5 or so. I expected the pain, and I expected the post-surgery "gassy" weight gain, but I'm just curious.... 4 days in and I'm still above the pre-surgery (after 2 week protein diet) weight. Only a pound or two, but still. I had to…

Got my surgery date!
Hi! I finished the last of the insurance mandated courses on March 4th and got my packetsubmitted to the insurance by the doctor. For two weeks, I sat and waited. I even bugged the doctor's office a couple of times to see if they'd heard anything (hey, this anticipation thing is hard).... Yesterday, I called the insurance…

Protein substitutions?
Speaking of the Pre-Op Protein diet, Doctor put me on the "Bariatric Advantage" products instead of Medifast. I got one bag each of Chocolate, Orange Cream, and Banana flavored shakes, one box of 15 peanut butter chocolate bars, and some God-Awful "vegetable soup powder" which will NEVER pass these lips again... The Shakes…

Pre-Op Protein Diet -- my own valuable lesson learned...
Hi guys, Surgery is slated for April 2nd. Doctor put me on the obligatory protein diet using the "Bariatric Advantage" products rather than the standard Medifast. Something about it being "more palatable".. I can't compare, but I'm on day five and I've learned some pretty valuable things about myself... This diet has me…

Does MFP auto-adjust your calories/etc as you lose weight?
Just started a few weeks ago, but had a stray thought. I'm wondering if MFP auto-adjusts your allowed calories (like the Weight Watchers app does with "Points") as you lose more and more weight? Wayne

VSG Interruptus (Barrett's Esophagus)
I started the 6-month insurance-mandated journey on October 29th, 2013 with the intent of getting Sleeved. To me, it seemed like the perfect compromise between risk and success. Last week however, I got the results of my endoscopy back, which revealed "Barrett's Esophagus". Essentially and apparently, I've had Acid Reflux…

WW Refugee, starting over...
Good morning, Glad to be here! Compulsive stress eating guy here, just wanted to introduce myself. A little background. In December 2011, I started WW at 327#. By December 2012, I got down to 249#, then -- due to work -- I moved to a new area. The new area (D.C.) is 200% more "all-go, all the time" stressful, and to be…
