Fitness tracker which one is better for us?



Recommended Posts

Hi

I have an iphone ans ipad, and i was wondering which fitness tracker does anyone recommand for our special needs

Nike fuelband, fitbit, up24 jawbone or the garmin vivofit? Or anything else

I do have sleep apnea( hopefûly with the weight lost that will go away), and i work at a desk all day ( and my company is too cheap to allow me to have a working station where i can stand and sit)

I want to make sure i get enough Proteins, enough Water (which i struggle with) and as less calories as possible and a reminder to tell me to move.

Let me know you're feeling about these guizmo

Thanks

I want to know too...I hear a lot of people on here are fans of Fitbit, so I will probably go with that.

I have the Fitbit Flex, but I wish I had one of the other models. It doesn't give you any actual info until you log in online. Other models will display your stats.

I LOVE MY FITBIT. I have the Flex. It is great for me (I'm online most of the day with work, so it's easy to find stuff ... plus I love the report graphs.

Truly, the Fitbit has helped me double my daily steps.

And I haven't even been sleeved yet.

I was interested by fitbit felx, but then I read a review pn the net that Fitbit overestimated the steps count and also the calorie lost....like by a lot. For the same workout...the nike and jawbone were almost the same and but there was about a 5 times difference with fitbit flex.. The garmin seems intresting for the reason that you dont need to charge it and it's truely waterproof, but doesnt kick your butt hard enough to go out and move. I dunno

I use a free phone app called Accupedo for a pedometer, and then log it in MyFitnessPal. Free and works great.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
