I have the FItbit Zip and find it to be a glorified pedometer. The more expensive one will monitor your sleep but I don't know if you have to wear it to bed or not. I won it in a drawing so I didn't spend anything for it. I accidentally washed it but it survived to my surprise. I use My Fitness Pal and it does sync up with that but I never get any kind of adjustment with it because my exercise overrules any of the Zip's measurements. I never meet the goal of 10,000 steps because I sit at a desk most of the day. I wear it to the gym but still don't get to 10,000. I finally figured out I could reset that goal to something more attainable. Keeping up with it and keeping it away from the cat when not wearing it are the biggest challenges in using it. Would I pay for it? I don't think so but others may be bigger fans of it than me.I think there are some iPhone apps that will do pretty much the same thing for a whole lot less.

I have the Fitbit and I love it! There's a new one out, the Flex that you wear as a Bracelet and I want that one now.

I recieved the fitbit one as a pre surgery gift ftom the family. I don't do anything without it. My husband and mother in law both got the zip once they saw mine. Now we have competitions to see who does the best each week. I like my fitbit one and would not trade it for the world

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
