I was at my family phys ofc yesterday and it said I was 350 my bariatric dr scale said I was at 342.... lol guess which one I'm gonna use?

Good one my scale at home always make me sad…lol but work scale tell me what i need to see…Congrats!!

Well there you go

I log my weight from my home scale. That is the weight I use for how much I have lost. Before a check in appt with my surgeon's office I always get back on my home scale once I am dressed and then compare it to my doc's scale weight. So far it has read me almost exactly 2lbs or 2.3lbs different so I chalk that up to my clothing and move on.

That's weird! My bariatric surgeon's is ALWAYS higher. I go see him Thursday and I hope I'm not disappointed! I know this didn't help, but I needed to vent on the subject! Sorry!

Oo it's good to see you in this section. How far out from surgery are you? I remember you from the insurance section.

My bariatrics surgeons scale is 5 pounds higher. When I said I hate your scales the nurse told me yeah everybody says they are 5 pounds to high. I laughed and said you would think your scales being int he business they are in should be dead on. No one wants to go to their surgeon and weigh 5 pounds more than you should. Lol. What a downer. Now I weigh at home and I tell my doctors what I weigh. I am not weighing on 4 or 5 different scales.

The whole scale thing is extremely frustrating. I'm on day 10 of the liquid pre-op diet and every scale I get on gives me a different number. I do a final weigh in on Friday before surgery and I hope I have lost more than 10 lbs, according to my doctor's scale. The gym scale, the doctor's scale and my home digital scale all differ by 4 to 5 lbs. I don't know which one gives an accurate reading.

I always use my home scale to judge and log my weight. Mostly because i weigh right after my morning "business" and shower but before i eat. I'm always lighter on it.
