JDUB0414

Hi All, Just wanted to update you on my husbands approval. After 6 months of waiting, he finally got approved!!!!

renewed that sounds good to me!!!

hey everyone. for some reason i cant edit the thread anymore. can anyone help with that?

JDUB- Congrats to you and your husband! What an accomplishment to make your home healthy and be on the right track! I think it's safe to say that he is one lucky fella to have you around:) Keep up the good work! K podski, Thanks. I consider myself one lucky lady to have such a great and supportive husband.

My dr. specifically said to only take calcium citrate. I looked at calcium carbonate vitamins, like the viactiv but I was told not to take them. The only ones I've found is Caltrate. I have to take six small ones a day. It's a pain.

Fenton, I got it off the 24hourfitness website. It was $75 off then. A couple days later it went back up to 250....I bought my husband one for his bday. He loves it as well. He was going to get the surgery but thinks he's going to wait since he's lost 35 lbs just dieting with me since my band.

Well, today is 1 week since I've had my bugg. The verdict is.....I lost 8 pounds!!! I tried very hard to keep my numbers where they were supposed to be for calorie intake. I really made sure my deficit was at or above the 1900 goal. I LOVE THIS BUGG!!!. I've been banded for 5 weeks and I'm down 23lbs!!! I'm glad I got this early in the game. This is the best $224 investment that I've made thus far.

Renewed, I bought mine on 24 hour fitness and got the 3 month and coaching for $224.

how long did it take for them to call to set up a coaching? Is the calorie deficit what's really important everyday? for instance, i'm supposed to burn 3300 calories, take in 1400, which gives me a deficit of 1900. a few days this week i went over in calorie intake but because i burned more my deficit has been over 1900. is this ok?

I started using the body bugg yesterday and I really like it so far. The only thing that sucks is the website doesnt have a lot of listed food, so I have been manually inputting mine. But it's great being able to keep track of how many calories you've eaten vs. the amount you burn. Keeps me motivated to workout.

1st is day of surgery, 2nd is 2 1/2 weeks out.

Ok, the bodybugg website is down, so since I'm supposed to wear it for 48 hours, what should I do about inputting information?

My first fill was 4/17, it was ok. I got 2cc put on. Have to wait another 8 to 10 weeks for another one.

Great job scrappy!!!! I did get my bugg yesterday. It seems pretty self explanatory. I believe this will be a great tool for me with regards to excersise. I will let you all know how my firt week goes. I got my fil on Thursday. Not bad at all. I do feel restriction. I am not able to go back for another 8 to 10 weeks. hopefully that will last me till then. My doctor seems to schedule everyone the same way. For instance if I feel I need a fill before 8 weeks, I cant get one. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi All, I got my body bugg today!!!!! Anywho, when I check that I've had bariatric surgery, it wont let me continue. Did you all check that one or did you pass through and start filling out your questinaires?

Jencys mine is supposed to be here tomorrow. I'm so glad I have a fellow bandster to discuss the bugg with. Let me know how your first day goes.

yep. had to bite the bullet

Congrats Harley, Jen, Hungry, those are great NSV. I had one today. My husband is a pretty big guy, but for the last few years I've weighed more than him...so when I would put his shirts on, they would be kinda snug. Well today I put one on and it fit be like a gown, it hung off my body and not snug to it.

Lynn it will become your new best freind. It calculates everything for you. Everyone, I just ordered the body bugg. I'm really excited and think that will help me with wanting to exercise more. I've been exercising 3 times a week lately and want to be active everyday. Since it looks like I'm the first March bandster to get it, I will let you all know how it works.

I just ordered mine off of 24 hour fitness. Cant wait til it gets here. I searched craigslist and couldn't find one.

Harleygirl, I was having trouble journaling at first with the journal book the surgeons office gave me, but now I journal on Calorie Counter, Diet Tracking, food Journal, Nutrition Facts at The Daily Plate. They have thousands of food choices to journal and your able to put in your activity as well. You can set your daily goal caloric intake and it will tell you how many calories you have left or how many you've went over. Fenton, I'm amazed at how your able to have these great meals and still loose. I had about a cup of fried rice yesterday and some other things days before. I've been at a plateu for about two weeks now. Oh well, I'm scheduled for a fill on Thursday and cant wait.

I've benn crushing them in my pill crusher so I've been able to get all my vitamins in so far.

My first mini goal is loose another 20 pounds by month 2 post op.

I'm JoVonda, live in Illinois, 5 minutes from St. Louis, MO. I have a husband of almost 4 years and a 2 year old son who is giving me the blues right now!!! I'm a high school Spanish teacher.
