TammyLee66 152 Posted February 1, 2017 Has anybody bought the Fit Bit 2 ?? Or any Fit Bit I am thinking about buying one as my gift too myself when I have my surgery. If you have one do you like it or is it not very useful Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ivg1928 3 Posted February 1, 2017 I do own a FitBit Blaze and it is awesome. I love the app because it allows you to track your food, Water intake and of course your activity! Before I purchased the Blaze, I had a FitBit Flex as well the Charge. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evy17 24 Posted February 1, 2017 I have the charge 2! I love it. If you are thinking as a gift to yourself......I say it's a perfect gift. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biginjapan 647 Posted February 1, 2017 I have a Fitbit One - I hate wearing anything on my wrist, so I like the clip on aspect of it (I clip it onto my bra). That said, I may upgrade to a Charge, Blaze, or Surge in the future when my physical activity will warrant having a heart rate monitor. But right now I walk, and will probably continue to do so for a few months after surgery, so I'm waiting on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleevinpops 303 Posted February 1, 2017 I have the Fitbit and love it. Had the surge originally, but upgraded in December to the Blaze. Looks more like a watch, has exercise programs on it as well. Also in a group that does weekly challenges for steps and also syncs to myfitnesspal as well. I give it Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TammyLee66 152 Posted February 1, 2017 Thank you everyone I appreciate it I definitely am going to buy one when I get my surgery date like a week before still have to do all my classes Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreadrea 16 Posted February 1, 2017 I got the charge hr when I first started my journey in April. It helps keep you motivated for exercise, and group challenges are great too. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diana_in_Philly 1,426 Posted February 1, 2017 I burned out two FitBit products - something in my skin and them did not agree -- also they really don't like Water -- like don't wash the dishes with one on. I went with a Garmin Vivofit HR. Love it. Had it since July now and not a single problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbuczkowski 272 Posted February 1, 2017 Bought my Fitbit Blaze and love it. I am impressed that since preparing for my VSG next week my heart rate has been dropping steadily. Also love the Water, food, sleep tracking features Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TammyLee66 152 Posted February 1, 2017 I am excited to get mine I'm going to wait just before I get my surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newme17 3,444 Posted February 1, 2017 I bought a charge HR some time back. Had it on my wrist and my whole arm was in pain. Wasn't too tight or anything. Then I put it on the other wrist, thinking maybe my arm was just upset about something, and that other arm started to hurt too. Then i returned it and did some research. If you've got nerve damage, pain, carpal tunnel....most likely you will have pain. Thousands of others had to return them for the same reasons I had to. Something to do with the darn heart rate monitor. So, I can't have one. I was so bummed out. Hope it works great for you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
