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.

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.

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

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.

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

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!!

      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.
