Rather than trying to let the bodybugg determine your caloric intake (more exercise equals more food?), I'd suggest go back to accurately counting your calories and making sure they stay at what your surgeon suggested (like 1000-1200).
Remember, this is temporary, just refocus and you can do it!

OK...... this may not be a popular response.....
I'm all for the BodyBug thing and Dunk Tanks....... after you have lost the weight and your settling into your "Spot".
My suggestion......put the BodyBug dealio on the shelf..... make it easy on yourself.....don't over think it.
Follow this most popular VSG WL program and you will lose weight.
- 600-800 cals
- 70grams or more protein (women)
- 40grams or less carbs
- 64oz. or more fluids
- Walk 45 minutes (more exercise=better)
During my WL period I thought I had found a better way several times.....only to find getting back to these basics was the most effective.
Others have had great success doing other things.....but I think you will find most that followed this plan did quite well.
Just puttin it out there.....tryin to help...

Slap the bodybug in a drawer, log your food, keep working out, push clear fluids, and really evaluate what you are eating not just calories, but look at carbs, and protein and see if you can tweak those numbers.
Your honeymoon period is not going to be set on a timeline. There's plenty of people here that have continued to lose well past the 6-12 months post-op point.
