Ok, I have read many pages of this thread and am convinced... I just sent an email to my hubby with the link telling him I want a body bug for Christmas. Crossing my fingers that he gets me one, lol.

I don't know, but certainly without the watch you would get nothing out of it. There are no display screens, you can only tell what is going on when you upload to the computer. It is sooo worth it though!!

Watching my calories is actually fun!:bounce:

I got my bugg today--just had some time to myself finally--set it up and put it on!!!!! :whoo: I ordered the watch yesterday when it went on sale so now I'm waitng for that. I have a question--based on how I answered my questionaire, my food has me at 60% carbohydrates, 20% Protein and 20% fat. Does anyone know what this would equate to regarding protein intake--how many grams per day? I thought I'd be at a highter protein percentage, but that;s ok--I'm still going to eat how I eat now and adjust it if need be. What do you do if you're really under that calorie intact they have for you? Based on my weight it says that should be eating around 1750 calories a day--that seems like a lot to me. :( Can't wait to really figure this out!

They'll go over all of that with you during your phone coaching sessions. You should be getting a call or e-mail from them in the next day or so. Meantime, have fun with it!

1 gr of protein = 4 calories

1 gr of carb's = 4 calories

1 gr of fat - 9 calories

Thank you!

Another quick question--did you tell your coach that you had lap band? Since I read in a previous post to no check bariatric surgery, I didn't-so I could continue to set up my bugg. But does that affect your coach and how they help?

I did, and she said that the way the coaching sessions are handled are a bit different if you've JUST been banded. But she said it really didn't make a difference otherwise.

I haven't had my session with her yet. I did answer the question NO during the set-up.

I will be honest when I do have my session.

Good Night.

Ok. WEIRDEST thing...

Halfway through the day today my display thingy said it wasn;t 'in sync' with the BB. So I pressed the buttons like I always do, and then it said that the armband wasn't registered? I was so confused! And of course I was at work, so I couldn't go to the BB website to check it out.

When I did get home I uploaded all my stuff like usual without any problems, even though the display still said it wasn't registered. After I uploaded my activity for the day the display suddenly worked, but is off on the calories by about 100o and says I've only taken 67 steps today?? I think I'll wait through tomorrow to see how it works. If its still all jacked up I guess I'll call the BB people? What do ya'll think?

Yep, I had to have my digital display reset tonight. The number to call is 866.314.9423. That's the bodybugg tech support number, and they were very helpful to me. :)

      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.
