Actitrainer vs. Body Bugg

How is it able to count the calories burned? You just wear it and it computes them? I stink at the computer and I don't want anything that I have to plug into the computer, or download information, etc.

It would be great to have something to wear that is somehow able to keep track of the calories burned.

That is basically it. You put it on every morning. You wear it all day. It has a built in accelerometer that knows when you are moving and how hard you are moving. It somehow converts that movement into calories burned. You do have to enter some information about yourself so it can figure it out.

Here's basically how it works: BioTrainer Weight Loss System ™ - measure physical activity and caloric burn

You don't have to use their online system to track your calories in and have it analyze the #of calories you burn everyday, but I think it's pretty cool. They offer 10% off to WLS patients with the discount code: WLS. It's like free shipping.

I also found this demo on their site of the online nutritional program.

      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.
