Thank you. Is it digital or analog?? I heard most digital scales are inaccurate. I would prefer a digital over an analog but prefer an accurate weight as well.

I use my old German scale. It's a digital one. Looks pretty much like the Weight Watchers one. Saw it in BB&B. I wonder if they still have them on sale.

I just bought a fitbit aria and it does a great job. It automatically records the weight in my fitbit app so I don't have to worry about tracking it myself.

It is digital, I got digital because i have a hard time seeing the analog, but it is right on with the Dr.'s scale, so i am happy with it...

Ok, I know I'm gonna be the odd one out

but

I love my Wii Fit. It is the most accurate scale I have ever had.

Of course if you don't have a Wii it would be pointless. But if you do, it has some cute exercises and it remebers all your info. One down size is that the lady is a little mean. :rolleyes:

That's what I've been using. Measuring, measuring, measuring, Done lol. I just wasn't sure how accurate it actually is. I just got a WW digital scale. I'll check them both at the same time and see if results match.

OMG that is so funny. I love at the end when she says, "That's Obese".

"No @#$%^& @#$% I'm obese. That's why I'm here."

I curse her out every time.

      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... :(
