I have to say that Fit Bit has awesome customer service, too! I have been using mine since April, then it died about 3 weeks ago. I contacted them after I got home from vacation on the 9th of July. They asked a few questions, suggested some things to try, then replaced by Fit Bit free of charge when those things didn't work! Even better, I had the new Fit Bit in the mail within about 5 days! :)

I loved my Fit Bit before, but knowing that it's backed up with such awesome customer service makes it even better! :)

OK so I loved my fitbit until it just quit working. I tried all of their suggestions and I am currently waiting to see if they will be sending me a new one. I hope this is not a common occurrence! I will let you know how it turns out.

I bought mine at best buy and just love it loged 12,104 steps today :) . It will log it into my fitness pal as well . Best buy has them in store for the same price but if in 30 days I hate it or it stops working I can drive over and return it ;) but right now it's my best friend.

So with the FitBit, does it record the calories burned during normal exercise (i.e. not walking or running)? Or will I need to keep using my heart rate monitor and chest strap?

God is Great! I was browsing on the web looking at the info on fitbit and a nosey coworker was asking me questions about the product. I replied that I did not know much about it and I belong to VSG forum and is one of the hot topics. So of course that opened up more dialog and questions. To make a short story shorter. The nosey coworker brought me a Fitbit to work today!! :) . Thank you nosey coworker and better yet thank you GOD!! (One less expense for me)

I went the body media fit route instead. Got mine on eBay for $50 and the annual subscription for $28. So mine was cheaper upfront.

      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.
