Has any one got a step counter



Recommended Posts

My Dr told me that a step counter would be a good idea. Because I have to do a hour a day or 10,000 steps so I got one that has a appointment for my phone. It also tracks my sleep and How long I go with out walking.

I bought the Jawbone UP and like it. It tracks my steps and sleep. It also syncs with My Fitness to collect my food info. And MFP collects activity from Jawbone. I considered getting the FitBit but am cheap! Lol. My Jawbone UP was only 44.99 and fits anywhere on my clothes. You can also buy a watch band and wear it on your wrist.

Oh! And it gives you tips on your progress.

I use a Fitbit. It syncs with my phone and with MyFitnessPal. I chose the version that has the display on the wrist because I like having it as a watch and so I can see my steps quickly, but the non-display version is about $20 cheaper. It has a vibrating alarm in the mornings, which I like because I can turn it off without rolling over and it only wakes me up. It does a good job of tracking my steps and gives me an idea of how much I move on some days compared to others.

There are several products I like the fit bit zip. It about $50 and is accurate within 5%. You can also track meals on their website and has a cell phone app.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
