Hello folks.

I'm new to this whole fitness tracker technology.

I keep hearing about how good and how handy this devices are.

I would love to know more about them if anybody has any experience to share and a vote on which is best?

I want something to track all my steps, calories burned, heart rate, sleeping, any movements, possible to sync with mobile phone?

I've heard some play music, some show text messages and notification? Some have alarms to wake up?

Really looking into getting one to fit my big wrists and to keep myself motivated and track my daily life once I have the surgery!

Tnx for all your input!

P.s currently looking at fit bit 3 or Samsung gear fit Pro 2

I've got Fitbit Inspire HR. It has all functions of Fitbit Charge 3 but costs $50 less. It tracks everything you mentioned, including sleep. It shows texts messages, emails and notifications from my calendar. Doesn't play music. I read about it here on BP, bought 2 weeks ago and love it!

I love my Fitbit charge 3. It inspires me to take more steps each day. Before surgery I never walked. I now walk everyday with my daughter or sil.

You can enter challenges, track your weight and I sync it with my fitness pal. This one is also waterproof as I do dishes and I can wear it in the shower.

Fitbit Charge 2 might be better imho. It's battery lasts much longer, it costs less money. Good luck choosing the one you like.
Oops...typo. I had in mind Charge 3.

I have the inspire hr and my husband has the charge 3. I wish I would have bought the charge 3 for myself simply because of the battery life, his is SO much better.

      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.
