Looking For The Best (Most Accurate) Scales

Hi Everyone!

All of my paperwork has finally been submitted and now I am a nervous wreck waiting for insurance approval. I decided to help pass the time and keep me occupied, I will buy a few things that I need post op.

I already have the things that I will need in the hospital, however I have a list of things that I want to purchase for later.

One thing I want to get is an accurate bathroom scale. I have a scale that is probably 15+ years old and never weighs me the same. What brand do you guys recommend and where did you get yours? Also, the food scale that I currently have is very old and I would like to purchase a digital one. Which one would you recommend and where did you get yours?

Oh...one more question in regards to what you drank out of right out of surgery. I have heard of people using dixie cups, etc. What would you recommend?

Kitchen scale wise, ozera and eatsmart are both accurate and cheap.

Bathroom scale Tanita brand - you may have to order online but I have 2 10+ years old that are completely accurate!!

Yes, I've had a Tanita for about 8 years and it's just two lbs off from my surgeon's big, high tech scale. I bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond. They have a digital food scale on sale this week that I'm gonna go get with a coupon...$15.

I have a Weight Watchers digital scale that I bought at WalMart. It's dead on with my doctors.

I too have Tanita scales, they are about 8 years old and very accurate. I think they are quality scales for the money and seem to be very durable and last.
