I have hit the 6 week mark and now feel ready to start really exercising. I'm sure many started before this but with me I just wanted to wait and let things sort of become more normal first. Anyways I want to get an activity tracker. I'm leaning towards the fitbit flex but I want to make the right choice. Any feed back would help. Likes, dislikes, or even other kinds that you guys like better. Thank you so much!

I absolutely LOVE my fit bit flex.... Worth the 100.00. Keeps me accountable for my food intake and activity. I like being able to see the steps and active minutes increase throughout the day.

I have the Fitbit flex and I love it. I think it is pretty accurate and once you get used to the annoying rubber wrist band, it is awesome. I have seen that Garmin has a new product out (Vivofit, $129) that might be the next step in these trackers, but I'm sticking with the Fitbit for now. It's a great little tool for about $97 bucks.

I have a fitbit one which I clip to my bra - I find it easier than wearing a Bracelet type activity tracker - and it doesn't show. I have to dress up somewhat for work and a rubber looking bracelet just doesn't look right all the time. It has been quite accurate and also links up with My Fitness Pal and Sparkpeople. I find it motivating as I am always trying to improve the number of steps I take.

      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.

      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! 😞
