What's your favorite activity tracker?



Recommended Posts

Hello! I'm 2 months post-op and have been really successful so far, now it's time to up my activity level again. I had a FitBit Flex for a while, but it died recently. Any suggestions on what to get? I don't need a lot of bells and whistles. As long as it can keep track of my steps/mileage/calories burned I'm a happy girl.

I've had the Garmin Vivosmart HR, and now I use a Fitbit Charge 2. I really liked the Garmin but it was a bit more complicated then I wanted at the time. I love my Charge 2. It's simple to use, tracks all of the basic stuff I need (steps, HR, stairs, exercise) it's not too ugly. Plus I like the cheesy little messages and notifications it gives me periodically telling me to get up and walk :) The Garmin would literally just vibrate and display "MOVE" but the Fitbit puts up a picture of a little guy cheering and says things like "are you up for 200 steps?" The only thing I miss about the Garmin is that it was totally waterproof so I could wear it for swimming/water aerobics.

I'm not a fan of fitbits... they're not accurate enough for me. I use polar watches. I think they're great and you can buy a band that you put on your chest during workouts, it fires under your clothes and I never even notice it's there. That's the most accurate way to get your heart rate, compared to your wrist. I like to work smarter, not harder. [emoji4]

My wife and I HAD fitbit watches and ditched those for Polar. She had the A360 and loves it. I love my M200.

      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! 😞
