I don't have one yet. But my surgery is still several months away, so hopefully I will get one before then! ☺️

I'm on my way to Best Buy to pick up my Jawbone UP2! I'm a tech geek and now have a reason to justify the purchase! ???? I'm also very curious about my sleep because my doctor keeps asking if I snore...she suspects sleep apnea due to my neck size...I'm hoping the UP2 will give me a little insight...and I'm the kind of person that likes to see numbers (i.e.: steps, calories, etc)

So here's the 5 main reasons I chose the Jawbone UP line over Fitbit:

1) it's slimmer

2) I don't need text/call alerts

3) the UP app is superior to The Fitbit app, especially when adding food

4) it has an adjustable strap which shrinks with you (you know, for when you're all skinny and stuff ????) Fitbit makes you choose either a small, medium or XL and the XL is only available with certain models

5) the UP2 now automatically knows when you are asleep (same as Fitbit)

Here's a good article by PC Mag on fitness trackers http://mobile.pcmag.com/reviews/55853-best-fitness-trackers-for-2015?origref=

I also watched YouTube videos that helped me narrow it down to exactly what I was looking for.

Happy Tracking!

I had one but noticed it wasn't very accurate. I had the Charge. If I waved my hand back and forth it counted that as steps took. Other than that I liked it. I took it back and am researching more or just going to use my iPhone. I wanted the HR but no one in our area had it. I think it would be better than the regular one.

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
