Is it worth it? I currently have measuring cups but I can figure out portions sizes just by guesstimating. Anyone have one and use theres? Which brand and is it worth buying?

I have one that I love....mine is the eatsmart brand. It's easy to clean and measures in ounces, grams, kilos.....

I have one and I like them too.

Escali - not expensive one.

I am interested in this too. Where do you get such a thing?

this is the one I have.

I bought them on amazon

I have a digital scale and I have used it for years (2003). Very helpful for measuring my food portions and for making different recipes. The scale has both standard US and Metric measurements. I purchased mine at Bed, Bath & Beyond. However, they are rather common and you should be able to find them at Fred Meyer, Target, and most cooking shops.

For me the scale was an essential tool in previous weight loss. I am currently pre op and I have every intention of using it post op. I currently use it and track on My Fitness Pals. I have messaged with a few others who are sleeved and they (not all) use a digital scale.

I would say this is a good purchase!

OMG! Yes!!! It is so worth it. I got mine at Ross for like 9.99 and I can use oz or grams. I love it.

Absolutely worth it. I got mine at Target and love it.

Ok thanks all. I wanted one a long time ago. I have an analog one but it is a two piece setup. Digital is soo much easier. Who knows though. If I can find I might use.

I have a Martha Stewart one I got at Macys, I really like it.

I used one when going through the liquid and mushie stages, but since going on solid foods, I haven't used it. I think you could guestimate enough to get by without one.

You need to weigh food as well as measure. 6 fl. oz is not the same as 6 oz. One is weight the other is volume. Sorry if I'm being obvious. I really cannoit eye portions well enough - especially cheese. I you get 2 oz. rather than 1 oz. that is 100 extra calories. ! oz. could only be an inch of cheese so I'd rather not guess.

I got mine off Ebay. It measures in grams and ounces.

I use mine everyday, several times a day. I got it from Bed Bath &Beyond, but you can find them anywhere.
