Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I just got my FitBit Charge HR last week and I hit the track today. I only did 1 1/2 miles since I had to go to the store before I headed home. I realized halfway through shopping it wasn't tracking my steps because I was holding onto the cart. Dang it!! Then I tried driving the cart with one hand and got so many funny looks I couldn't do it anymore.

My son realized the same thing when he was pushing his daughter's stroller. Now when he know he is going to be pushing he puts his around his ankle!

How do you sync it to myfitnesspal

You have to be on a computer & authorize the Myfitnesspal app. It will then synch all your info to the app.

I have a Fitbit One and the Fitbit Aria scale. I love both of them. With the Fitbit app, they give you a set of tools that really complements WLS.

I love my fit bit one! I also have the aria scale. I am 13 days post op. I did 55 minutes of cardio today which gave me 8000 steps. I my goal is to have 10000/ day. I have met that one other day since surgery. I track all my food on My Fitness Pal and my fit bit is linked to it. I think this is a great combination to keep track of food and exercise!

I have the fitbit surge (259.99). I love this thing. Let me tell you, I really don't think I would've been able to have this good of a start without this thing. It totally holds you accountable. Also, when you have something like this you can totally show your doctors/surgeon as far as your steps/walking/exercising. That's why I love it. Also, I know that I need to be around 8K as far as steps and I know that I've done enough walking in a day to burn the calories that I want to burn. Also it syncs with my fitness pal as well so when you're getting those steps in and walking and working out you'll get more calories back to eat. You should totally try it. I love this thing!

My husband's insurance company offered a fairly substantial discount if you bought one and kept up with the 10,000 step goal. I thought this was pretty cool and as someone said, "keeps you honest". My insurance company offers discounts for activity and goal setting, but there is no real tracking done to know whether or not you did the task and most people just fill it out to get the discount. With that in mind, I can see more insurance companies moving to a system like my husband has.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
