Has anyone used the UP system from Jawbone? Do you like it? I found it here: https://jawbone.com/up?r=awup10&gclid=CN2Wrv3Xl7kCFWuCQgodpncAQw

I started with a FitBit but when my clip broke, I moved to the Up. I really enjoy it. I like how it sits on my wrist and looks more like a funky Bracelet than a fitness tool. I don't need to keep my bluetooth active to sync with my phone and it seems to be very accurate.

What I don't like: 1) You have to use the app on your phone and not your desktop. 2) Until you get the hang of how to use the 1 button on the device to do different things, it can be a bit overwhelming. 3) I can't migrate my Fitbit friends to my Up feed for motivation.

Note: I contacted Fitbit customer service and with very little drama they sent me a new clip. I gave my Fitbit to a friend who would get a great use out of it.

I really think it all comes down to your preference. Either device is great! (I synced both with MyFitnessPal and had no real trouble judging calories.)

Good luck!

      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.
