Lifesaver~ I think you should still have 2 free coaching sessions even if you got it from 24 hour fitness. I would ask your trainer (the one who set it up for you).

Also, my Coach told me NEVER to switch arms - the bugg has some sort of device in it that can tell in what position your arm is in. She said it knows if you are sitting, standing, riding a bike or walking on your hands. She said when people switch arms, it has to be upside down to work on the left arm - and if it is upside down, it thinks you are walking on your hands!

However, she said if your arm gets irritated, you can move it up high or low, it doesn't have to be in the exact same spot each day.

were can I get a smaller armband from?

Did you get 2 straps in your box? I have a large strap and a medium size strap. You can buy a medium size strap from the myapex site. They don't have a size small.

Just a quick question.....I thought my trainer told me it was ok to put the bugg on my left arm as long as the button remained on the upper portion. My right arm does get really irritated after a while. Basically to the point where I want to take the thing off. Has anyone tried it on their left arm?

Its good to know we can do that (switch arms) - I am pretty sure Coach Tamala said it would skew the results. I have another coaching session next week, I will ask her again.

I found mine brand new - unopened with the digital display for $240 off of Craigslist. I only searched for 1 day when I found it.

You can wear it on the left arm as long as it is upside down. It states this on the bodybugg website.

Hey guys, I just finished my last coaching session with Coach Tamala. Kinda sad about that - I guess I will have to break down and buy some sessions when I get to a plateau.

However, I wanted to share with you what she said - It WILL skew the results if you wear it on the left arm. She is going to post the reasons on here soon. She explained them to me - something about if you wear on it on the left arm right side up, it will reverse body temp with air temp. If you wear it upside down, it believes you are walking on your hands.

She did mention if you have a digital display - it will help even out the results, but that they still will be skewed.

Hopefully she will post a more eloquent explanation on here soon.

I'll be watching for her!

In case anyone is interested, the lithium batteries really do last a LOT longer than other batteries in the BB, so even though they cost more, they're worth it.

      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.
