Woohoo! Congrats! I must admit I was at first wondering what all the fuss was about. Now that I've had mine for about 2 weeks (and blasted through a 9-week plateau), I am a believer and a LOVER of the BB!!! My sister even bought one (and she doesn't really have any weight to lose LOL)

Enjoy!!!!

Does this sound right? I burn more calories doing a Walk Away The Pounds video for an hour than I do on the ellptical at an average of 4.2 mph? The elliptical said I burned 600 something calories and my BB said I burned like 400 something calories. I guess I should believe my BB before I believe the elliptical? :rolleyes:

The more weight bearing an activity is- typically the more calories we burn. So on the elliptical, there is no impact and the machine supports your weight-- you'll burn less (unless you turn the resistance up a lot). Walking, even in place or back and forth in your living room, is more weight bearing. I know that my BB says I burn a lot more doing something like kickboxing or step than if I indoor cycle.

And the machine calorie counters are notoriously way off!

Thanks for the replies, Leigha, Jen and Kelsey. :thumbup:

It's nice to have because you don't have to plug in your BB to see how much you've burned during the day. I find it to be a great motivator. It will tell you how many calories you are burning per minute so it motivates me to bump up the intensity because I like to watch ALL the numbers jump up. :confused: Now that I have it I would be lost without it. You also don't have to wear it as a watch. It comes w/ a clip that you can use to attach it to your clothes, maybe even on your bra/sports bra where no one can see it. It's not bad looking but it's also not the most stylish looking thing, either. :angry: I do wear mine as a watch, though. Doesn't matter to me either way. :rolleyes:

I would be glad to help you. The booklet that comes with the Bugg is pretty clear. It takes a little while to set up and then it takes 3 hours to charge the Bugg before it can be used. The important thing: On the medical sheet that you complete, DO NOT tell them you have had lap band/bariatric surgery. I had to laugh because it tells me that I need to consume 2100 calories a day, that ain't happening.

I still use Internet Explorer (much to my husband's chagrin) and I didn't have any problems. The tech support at BodyBugg is great-- you might give them a call. I don't remember what coast they're on, but they might still be there...

      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.
