Yep, every time it beeps, it also vibrates as well, so the hearing impaired will not have any trouble using this device. :o

Kareyquilts...you are SUCH an inspiration to me! I read your other thread about your upcoming plastic surgery! I am SO hoping that in 2009 I am where you are this year! I would love to hear about it and how you feel about it when it's done! I live in WY and I have heard there are some great plastic surgeons in Salt Lake. Sounds like you found one!!! Congrats!!!! Can you imagine what it will be like to be so smoking and so skinny???? YOU ROCK!!!

LivingtheDream: Wow! To be a man and burn all those calories! I use the ellipitical for 30 minutes a day, weight train with a trainer for 1 hour, 3x a week and do pilates 2x a week for an hour. On a good day, when I am very busy I burn 2500 calories and that is including the exercise on a Sunday when I don't exercise and do attend church, I burn 1800. If I didn't watch what I eat and exercise, I would have a hard time losing any weight. I hope you know how lucky you are! If you follow the program you've got it made in the shade!

Thanks Kary, the first week I used it I thought it was broken. What really confused me was that the minute I put it on it had a large calorie number on the watch right off the bat. For example, 1800 calories burned after 20 minutes of wearing it. I found out later it estimated work load up to that point for the day or that is what the support folks told me. I still didn't believe her but after running a few calculators that just estimate based on weight and height it was pretty close. The main reason that i didn't believe it was because I thought there was no way that i was eating 4000+ calories in a single day but I sure was doing that and gaining weight.

rharriet: I'm really excited about the upcoming PS too, but also very nervous! When you get closer PM me and I'll give you some suggestions for plastic surgeons.

Livingthedream: That's the great thing about the body bugg, we finally are able to get the information that we needed all a long. Now if we can discipline ourselves and use the info to our advantage. That is a whole other subject! I love my BB. I don't like their food reporting side, but I'm trying to use it and be more careful about my measurements. My weight loss has really slowed down and I want to make sure it's not that I'm under reporting calories consumed. I talked with one of the head guys from Apex, he came to my gym and gave a presentation. He told me my body has been through a lot and it may be tired of losing weight (even though officially Apex says there is no such thing as a plateau!). He told me to give myself a month off and then get ready to fight like hell to lose the last 20. That's what I did and I started back 2 weeks ago to measuring, etc. Averaging a 950 calorie defiect daily, I have only lost 1.5 pounds in 2 weeks. According to them, I should have lost 4. GRRR! I guess I'll take what I can get. I'm also building muscle, according to my trainer, which weighs more than fat. All I know is that I'm down 1 pant size and looking better, so upward and onward into battle, I go!

I just got mine working last night. What does it mean if just randomly buzzes?

I'm thinking I need to buy the watch, though, because I can't check it at work and it's too late when I get home everynight.

      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.
