Don't buy one - just use the doctor's! LOL - I have a Weight Watchers one and it seems pretty accurate!

I started using my wii because my ww scale is funny actng. I hate having to step on 3 and 4 times and each time getting a different number. I prefer to weigh early in the morning with little close, so I pull my wii fit out

LOL!! TRUE!! I know I won't be going to the doctor every 2 weeks and my plan is to way myself every 2 weeks. I am newly sleeved so I haven't weighed myself yet. But when I do....I don't want ANYYYYYY problems!!! LOL!!!

I am a scale addict :mellow: I get on every morning. It the only way I can keep myself in check but when it doesn't move I get antsy. I have a Homemedics digital one. Its not pricy (around $25) and easy to read. My scale is actually very close to what my doctor has, so there aren't any scale discrepancy surprises.

Maybe I should step on that Wii fit board and see what happens!

I have an Xbox with a Kinect but my living room layout isn't enough space for the Kinect to "Find" big ol'me hahaha. Is that Wii good? My boyfriend has one... maybe I can borrow it

I have a glass digital one that is branded from the biggest losers. It is actually within a half pound of the one from the doctors office. I think target has them.

LOL!! I think once I start really losing I will be an addict too. But I don't feel all that lighter since my surgery. I guess I have to give it time. **sigh**

My scale measures body fat, lean muscle, Water, etc in addition to weight. It's a Tanita brand, got it from Amazon. It's the same brand my bariatric center uses, just not as big. I weigh second thing every morning (pee first) and record my weight. I record the fat, muscle and physical tape measurements just once a month.

Do not spend a lot of moeny on a scale. Once you weight on a scale then any weight loss should be fairly accurate. Also just to be make you aware your scale can become your enemy after weight loss surgery. If you weight daily and are expecting a weight loss everytime that you get on the scale it is very easy to get discouraged. I have gone to weight bi-weekly. This way if I do not lost much in a few days or 1 week I do not get down on myself and start to eat things to make me feel better......like i used to do in the past.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
