Apple Watch or Fitbit



Recommended Posts

I have never had a Fitbit but I do have an Apple Watch that I've worn everyday since last Christmas.

I find the Apple Watch to be very helpful with keeping me on track with timing food and drink (you know the whole 30 min before and after eating drink restriction).

I also find it motivational to see my activity tracker - which I have right on the face.

That being said it's a really expensive item to use as a timer/activity tracker. Much as I like it - I'd have never spent this kind of money with the variety of less expensive options out there.

@@kblanc you should get a hold of fitbit customer service, they are fantastic. My friend accidentally washed her fitbit one, and they sent her a new one even though it was her fault. I would go with them for the customer service alone.

I had a Fitbit Flex (the original one, not the newest version.) I liked it fine, but switched to an Apple watch which I love. I'm also a big nerd and use it as more than a standard watch and fitness tracker, though. I'd say if you're not likely to use any apps on the watch, Fitbit is a much better deal.

If Fitbit is your choice I suggest spending the extra money for the warrantee. I love my Fitbit but as we know life happens for example getting in the shower and forgetting you have it on or simply it stops working.

My husband got mine at Best Buy and I've already replaced it 3 times in 2 years no questions asked.

I just got the Fitbit blaze and it's awesome I highly recommend it. I'm 3 months out and I've had awesome success but haven't been working out like I should. This watch motivated me so much more. I literally got out of bed last night because I wanted to hit my award goal for the day

I have a Fitbit Alta. I charge it like once a week... and it gives me all the info I need on my wrist.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
