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 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... :(
