Ones anyone use the bodymedia bodybugg? I recently bought one on EBay, and I love it. Just curious if anyone else uses a tracker!? So far I'm losing very well.... Almost too much! I have to watch and not lose anymore til after my insurance approval. Dr is worried I might lose to much weight and not be eligible for the surgery due to lower BMI... I'm so NOT willing to risk that. Lol

Hope y'all have a great day! Happy weight loss to us all! :)

Misty - I haven't exercised in a month and a half, I'm so close on the BMI and I don't want to count on my comorbids for approval. I haven't decided on a tracker yet although I've heard good things about the fitbit force.

I've heard good things about the fit bit! I am actually thinking of switching to it. I just can't adapt to having a thing around my arm constantly. I'm always adjusting this thing and always moving it causes a lil it to get a lil sore. I just figured I'd see if anyone else had this issue? I'm def going to either have to get something else or figure out a way to keep from it rubbing my arm raw! Lol

I had the body Bugg and now I use a Fitbit flex .the body Bugg was great but with the watch and arm band it cost over $300 plus there was a yearly activation fee. The Fitbit was a Christmas gift but cost only $129 and no yearly fee. I like it very much and very accurate when I had my sleep studies too, Fitbit can do all you foods too and a great friends source if you so choose. Calculates Water, sleep, steps, activate times, cal burned, miles and mine does the time as well!

Good luck with whatever you choose.

Im seriously thinking of switching to the fitbit just because I cant do the body bugg. Its leaving red marks on my arms. Ugh. But at least I tried it. Lol .... more than id have done a yr ago! Lol I just know its not for me. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
