I have had my BB for two weeks now. If anything, I have gained. My pants are tighter although the scale has not moved up or down. I know I am gaining muscle galore as I am walking and cycling like crazy (11,000 steps plus a day). I have a deficit of anywhere from 600 to 1300 a day but still no loss. I am highly frustrated, disappointed, to the point of crying, whatever you want to call it, just don't call it happy at this point.

Sorry, just needed to vent. I am lost as to what to do next.

Freebird-- My BB wants me to eat 1250 and burn 2150. If I do this, I gain. I have to keep my calories below 1000 to lose.

I think I am going to decrease my calories too. Trouble is, I am so ravenous all the time, it's tough to go under 1200 (which I try to stick to or under), even though it tells me I need to consume 1450. All I know is, I'm just not losing anymore.....I will lose a pound and gain it back the following week. FRUSTRATING! 100g of Protein, 90 ounces of Water, exercise 4-5 days a week....I just don't know what else to do!

Hey everyone! I just got an iPhone 4 and was looking for the bodybugg app on the apex website. Why did I think there was one that synce with the iphone to tell you your calories burned throughout the day? Was I wrong? Is it just to keep track of calories consumed? And where on the site is it? I could have sworn that I've seen it on the before but of course now that I have an iPhone I can't find it! :o

Hi Amy,

I LOVE the iPhone 4!!! Hope you do too!

I also was looking for the app, but in doing a google search, is seemed that I could only access the site from Safari--doesn't look like anything is in the App Store just yet.

HTH! Enjoy your new toy!!

Does anyone have a bodybugg for sale? I want to get one but the cost is sooo high for a brand new one. So im hoping I can find someone who has one they are no longer using and would like to get rid of.

Do you have to keep the online program to keep using the bodybugg. I am coming up on 6 months of having my bodybugg and I will honestly say i dont really log my food online. I like to log it more in a notebook.. Can i keep using the bodybugg with my watch display without the online program?

Can someone help clue me in on this body bugg? I went to the website but couldn't really see much because I don't have an account. How much is it and how much is the monthly fee?

Funny!! I was just looking for this thread to say I purchased one. I'm being proactive. Getting banded on the 8th and hopefully will have my bugg before that.

I got the one that is compatible with the Android phones. It was $219 and it's $10 a month. Or only $50 for 6 months, or $80 for 12 if you buy them months in bulk. It comes with 6 months free though. :blushing:

I bought my BB back in July being proactive before being banded on 8/16.

I am not loving it at all. I hate going on line and logging in food . I just hate it.

I have only worn my BB maybe a total of 1 week or less since I've had it.

For me for now it was a waste of $300.00 as I'm looking at it sitting in the box on my dresser.

I just found one on Craigslist for $90 with the display shipped to my house!! Not too bad of a chance investment tp see if it helps me.

My bodybugg arrived today!! I am very excited although it was a pain getting it set up and registered. I guess I should have read past the registration card and into the book where it said only compatible with explorer and safari browser. Anyway, it is currently charging and I am looking forward to getting started. I also purchased the digital display as I like the idea of instant knowledge. I think it will keep me accountable. I used this thread in my research into whether to purchase the bodybugg so thanks to all who posted!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
