Any recommendations on keeping track of steps



Recommended Posts

I was wondering what kind of pedometer everyone uses and what they think of it. Second, if it is not to personal, how much did it cost?

the Fitbit ($86-155 on Amazon.com there's 3-4 different kinds) is a really cool device. Tracks not only steps but fluids, Protein, exercise, weights, sleep time and how good it was; plus other things. That info wirelessly to your computer or smartphone app called (myfitnesspal). I just bought one for my husband for father's day. He hasn't started using it since he out of town and didn't have time to set it up but I plan to get me one prior to my surgery on the 3rd. Also, if you go to amazon.com and search fitbit; you can read all the reviews and info on each individual item to choose the one you like the most.

hope this helps!

There's an app called Striiv and I think it's free. It was when I got it. You can link it to your myfitnesspal and it deducts the calories burned for your diary. You can like the fb page and add friends and there are daily challenges and walking games that you play with your friends. It's pretty cool.

I will say sometimes it fails to synch but it seems to be a software issue on their end every time they try to upgrade. They just have to Iron out the bugs.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
