I just got my FitBit Charge HR last week and I hit the track today. I only did 1 1/2 miles since I had to go to the store before I headed home. I realized halfway through shopping it wasn't tracking my steps because I was holding onto the cart. Dang it!! Then I tried driving the cart with one hand and got so many funny looks I couldn't do it anymore.

My son realized the same thing when he was pushing his daughter's stroller. Now when he know he is going to be pushing he puts his around his ankle!

How do you sync it to myfitnesspal

You have to be on a computer & authorize the Myfitnesspal app. It will then synch all your info to the app.

I have a Fitbit One and the Fitbit Aria scale. I love both of them. With the Fitbit app, they give you a set of tools that really complements WLS.

I love my fit bit one! I also have the aria scale. I am 13 days post op. I did 55 minutes of cardio today which gave me 8000 steps. I my goal is to have 10000/ day. I have met that one other day since surgery. I track all my food on My Fitness Pal and my fit bit is linked to it. I think this is a great combination to keep track of food and exercise!

I have the fitbit surge (259.99). I love this thing. Let me tell you, I really don't think I would've been able to have this good of a start without this thing. It totally holds you accountable. Also, when you have something like this you can totally show your doctors/surgeon as far as your steps/walking/exercising. That's why I love it. Also, I know that I need to be around 8K as far as steps and I know that I've done enough walking in a day to burn the calories that I want to burn. Also it syncs with my fitness pal as well so when you're getting those steps in and walking and working out you'll get more calories back to eat. You should totally try it. I love this thing!

My husband's insurance company offered a fairly substantial discount if you bought one and kept up with the 10,000 step goal. I thought this was pretty cool and as someone said, "keeps you honest". My insurance company offers discounts for activity and goal setting, but there is no real tracking done to know whether or not you did the task and most people just fill it out to get the discount. With that in mind, I can see more insurance companies moving to a system like my husband has.

      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.
