So I purchased a fit bit last week just to try it out because I wanted to keep track of how often I was active and have something to motivate me to move, this is my 3rd day having it and I doubled my stepping goal! I had it set at 5,000 and thought I would challenge myself to 10,000 and I made it over! Never would have been able to do this before surgery because of how bad my knees were from a car accident and my weight making it worst, but now that the weight is coming off its getting easier and easier! Btw fitbits are great for motivation, it's working for me!

I am having my surgery August 8th and my birthday is 2 days after that so I told my fiancé that I wanted a Fitbit and the Fitbit scale to go with it for my birthday. They look like they are a great source of motivation.

I have the Withings scale and use the free Map my walk app. They both feed into the My Fitness Pal app. I walk a 6.1 mile loop by my house every morning. Has been working great so far. I do find that the My Fitness Pal probably credits twice the amount of calories for the exercise than what really burned. I just half the amount it says. I'm a week shy of two months and I'm down a total of 65 lbs and 35 lbs since surgery. The first 30 lbs lost was pre surgery on the liver reduction diet over a 5 week period.

I love my fitbit! I'm on my fourth one (!) - I lost the last one and it was amazing how lost I was without it. I find the little green bars are a great motivator to stay over 10,000 steps every day. It also makes me much more aware of how little I move when I stay at home on the weekends, so I definitely get out more. I also have the Aria scale and I love and hate the fact that there's no fudging the facts when it comes to recording weight!

Have a Garmin VivoSmart here, really like it. Was orriginally planing on picking up a FitBit but liked the fact that the VivoSmart was waterproof. Went snorkeling with it while in the Bahamas last week, love it.

I love my Fitbit Charge HR. Anxiously awaiting delivery of my Aria scale! Hopefully will have it tomorrow so I can get it all set up and get my first weigh in on it before my surgery on Tuesday!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
