Bodybugg Vs. Bodymedia Fit?



Recommended Posts

Hi, guys

I've seriously been thinking of investing in the BodyBugg or BodyMedia Fit - can any of you who have tried one of these give me your opinion as to whether it made a noticeable difference on your weight loss, etc.?

Thanks!

I have the BodyMedia FIT. I tried the Bodybugg before too, but liked the BodyMedia one better because their interface was nicer & because it could tell me sleep efficiency if I wear it to bed. I like it because it shows exactly what I'm burning instead of just an estimate based on height @ weight. I use MyFitnessPal & my numbers are often different as far as what I burn through my BodyMedia device than what MFP says. The biggest downfall for me is that the BMF iPhone app doesn't have a UPC scanner to use to enter food like the MFP app does. Therefore, I usually enter all my food on MFP & use the BMF more just to tell what I burn. I used it before surgery & it helped somewhat just to know what I was burning & consuming, but I don't think it necessarily helps with my actual weight loss especially since I wasn't losing weight before surgery even with diet & exercise.

I know a lot of people on here use the fitbit. It's cheaper than the others, but it's not as accurate in everything I've read.

I have used both body bugg and body media. I think they are almost identical really. I am going to return my body media because i use myfitness pal and with the fitbit I can link them together

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
