So, long story short, as of earlier this year I no longer own a scale. Now I'm about to go buy one. Problem is, I've always weighed something different on every one, my mom's, dad's, mine, doctor's. I'd like one that's pretty accurate and in line with at least my doctor's scale. Any suggestions? Lol, thanks guys!

What ever scale you get - don't go crazy ( spoken from a scale obsessed).

Weigh youself on your scale and then go to the dr and weigh your self there . That way you will know how they differ and can start tracking better that way

I have the Weight Watchers scale and it's only 1 pound difference than my doctor's and the best part is that the 1lb is more, so when I get weighed at the doctor's office, it's always a pleasant surprise :)

The big picture is that even if you are using diff scales....try your best to focus on one scale. Its really not about a pound off either way but your consistency of progress.....good luck!!

I have a Tanita digital scale that measures body fat as well as weight. It is the same brand as the one in my doctor's office and it always matches theirs. I've had it for 10 years and it still works perfectly. BTW- Its the inexpensive one, nothing fancy besides the fat body fat measurement.

I say don't worry about it. I go by my scale! When I go to my NUT hers says one thing and an hour later I drive to my surgeons office and his says something wpelse. Remember that your weight fluctuates several times during the day so you may never be the same at home and then when you get to the doctor's office. I am a scaleaholic too and weigh myself everyday, but really count what happens each Monday.

It's all good. Believe in which ever you choose.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
