Scales! Not sure that mine is good...Suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Didn't do any research when I bought the scale I have now that I bought a couple of years ago ...and the readings are off when I go to the doctors. Looking to get a more accurate one before I head into surgery Aug 26th. Any suggestions on what to get?

Look on the big mans clothing and they sale scales. I bought one four months ago and went for post op check up and it was dead on the money.

Try a Weight Watchers scale about 30 dollars. Target sells them. You could try a Tanita scale it measures body fat as well. The weight Watcher scale is only a pound off from my doctors office scale.

I got the "Biggest Loser" digital scale from Target- I think it was $40. I really like it. It's 1-2 pounds lighter than my doctor's scale.

Oh stop! :P

Honestly, when I bought it years ago I had considered the 500lb max model but saw myself exceeding that in the future.

My doctor's office uses one - if I didn't have the one above I'd get a Tanita.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
