I ordered mine from 24 hour fitness, its supposed to be here Thursday, I can't wait!! Will it make it through a metal detector? I have to go through one to come into work. Does it hurt it to get xrayed?

I wore mine through airport security so I think that's same as metal detector/xray??

I travel almost every week for work and so I'm going through airport security constantly. I am always wearing my BB and have never had a problem with it in security.

how long did it take for them to call to set up a coaching? Is the calorie deficit what's really important everyday? for instance, i'm supposed to burn 3300 calories, take in 1400, which gives me a deficit of 1900. a few days this week i went over in calorie intake but because i burned more my deficit has been over 1900. is this ok?

Can I ask what everyone has set for calories burned each day and how many steps? I am just curious as to what others have set for daily goals.

for the last 2 months I have been at a 1700-2000 calorie deficit, I eat about 1000-1200 calories burn 2900-3200 a day if I eat more calories I workout longer to make up the extra calories. I usually have 12000-14000 steps, but your calorie deficit is so important 3500 cal =1lbs so when I maintain 2000 cal. def. I lose 4lbs that week but this is becoming so hard for me:mad: so I am going to drop it to 1500-1700 a day.

I keep a calorie deficit of 1000 calories a day for 2 lb a week loss. I just started really starting to up my exercise, I am eating about 1200 calories a day, on a slow/bad day I burn 2500 calories, good day over 3000. Sometimes I slip up and eat too many calories and find myself going out at 1100 PM to walk away some of the evil calories.

Have I said today that I love my bugg?

Is it really that accurate? If you have the deficit can you be certain your scales will drop? I love the idea of this, and am working on convincing my dh that it is a worthwhile purchase. He is a little sceptikal that it really works. Help me know what to say to him. He also would rather me just buy one on ebay if i do get one. He said that if I have the instruction book I won't need a coach. He is really very supportive of my weight loss efforts, but we just bought a treadmill and I am a sahm, so we have to really be careful on one income, 5 kids, and the rising price of gas and groceries. However, if I can truely show him the benefit he will make a way.

I have totally been able to accurately lose weight with it. I really don't have any restriction yet, so I am doing my weight loss with the Bugg and it works!

The instruction manual won't tell you anything about using the online program, that is what the Coaching Session is for. However, if you know someone who has one, they could walk you though all of it. It isn't difficult, especially if you are computer literate. You may be able to find a new, unopened Bugg on ebay too. I found mine on Craigslist. It wasn't opened, so I got the training and everything included Bugg and Display, 2 Coaching Sessions and 3 Month Subscription for $240.00. You just have to keep looking & if you see a good deal, jump on it!

I think the Body Bugg is the BEST investment I have made. I love it!

If you have the digital display, I guess you could keep track of the calories you burned each day, but you wouldn't have the cool program to input what you eat and show you the differences.

I am definitely going to continue my subscription - just because I need the extra push of seeing what I am doing and my deficit.

99 dollars a year or you can pay month by month, but it is more expensive that way.

Well, today is 1 week since I've had my bugg. The verdict is.....I lost 8 pounds!!! I tried very hard to keep my numbers where they were supposed to be for calorie intake. I really made sure my deficit was at or above the 1900 goal. I LOVE THIS BUGG!!!. I've been banded for 5 weeks and I'm down 23lbs!!! I'm glad I got this early in the game.

Renewed, I bought mine on 24 hour fitness and got the 3 month and coaching for $224.

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
