Fitbit?



Recommended Posts

I'm thinking of purchasing a Fitbit... do you own one? If so, what do you think of it? Would you buy it again?

I have it and love it! I have had mine since last March and it was my best purchase ever. It keeps me motivated to walk more because I want to see the number increase. Plus, it sinks up with myfitnesspal too.

I am looking at getting a Fitbit Ultra if I can score one off Ebay at a more reasonable price. I have already enter some information on the various logs they offer online. I hope I can get one before Christmas. I had my surgery on the 29th of November, and I am just about ready to start up the exercise part of my post-op plan. I have a X-trainer and have some hand weights and ankle weights. I hope to fight off the Bingo wings and my apron flap at the age of 56 and being obese for 35+ years. Here's hoping this gadget helps me in my recovery journey.

I look at getting this gadget just yesterday, but was sure if it was worth it. It does look great.

Fitbit has a new cheaper $60 model. That should put it in reach of more people. I've been using one since April. It's great except for the days when you forget to bring it with you.

      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.
