We got the WW digital scale a couple months ago. It is wickedly accurate, manages different profiles and also indicates stats like body fat %, bone density and a few other things. My wife and I both use it and have different profiles set up on it. She weighs daily and I weigh about 2 x a week.

I bought this one and it works amazingly well. I can step on it numerous times and get the same number. It was cheap and works great.

I am a firm believer in not weighing in very often. I measure instead...also I go by how my clothes fit. Those numbers on the s ale can drive you crazy! When you are working out, and eating more Protein you can easily not drop any weight, but be losing inches because of exchanging fat for muscle. While a pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh just that...a pound, the pound of muscle takes up less space, and therefore your number on the scale may be the same, but the size you are can change. I'm not sure if I am making any sense....but that is what I go by. Good luck to you! :)

There are some scales on Amazon around $55 that measure fat, Water, muscle and bone. Hopefully that means that even during stalls, you would still see body composition changes.

I see your point but I do not have a scale so I do need one. I would rather it be one that's got some good reviews behind it. Ty!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
