Hi! I'm new to this forum. I'm a month out from gastric bypass and I wanted to weigh in. The scale I had said I'd gained 36lbs in 2 weeks! Seeing as how I've lost several inches I don't think that's accurate. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a decent scale that's not outrageously expensive?

This is the one I bought about 4 years ago. It's still running on the same batteries. It's only a scale, no bells and whistles like memory. It has served me well.

I just bought the one my local pharmacy, Walgreens, had. It works fine and matches the weight I am when I see the doctor.

When I had my surgery my husband went on Jenni Craig. They sold a scale there and I love it mostly because it is very accurate and matches what my doctors scale says.

I bought a healthometer from Walmart, the nice part is it takes a 9 volt battery nothing fancy. inexpensive and very accurate. it's digital.

I use the fitbit flex and fitbit aria. Pricey but worth it for the tracking methods.

Have you had any problems with your FitBit scales? The reviews on Amazon is not good and I have been hesitant in buying one?

I haven't had any trouble. I love it! The only down side is it does not "remember" networks. So if you travel with it, you have to set up the wireless every time, even if you've been there before.

My cousin has one and hasn't had any trouble with hers either.

We have a withings scale. I love the app that goes with it for tracking my weight, heart rate & food intake.

I also use withings scale. The app provides a great chart that shows moving average for your weight loss and fat loss. Helps you see that things are moving in right direction even if one particular day scale says you're up a pound or two. Here's my chart. post-242641-14270885526515_thumb.jpg

You can use the app w/o the scale. Other similar apps are Happy Scale and the Hacker's Diet at fourmilab.com.

I have a Fitbit Aria scale too and I love it! No issues at all, perfectly matches the doctor, and very reliable.

I also broke down and replaced my scale a few months ago. The scale I had was only a few years old, but the weight would change simply by stepping off and back on again. Also the last time or two it was about 8 lbs. off (lower) from the drs. scale.

I bought the Aria scale (I have a Fitbit). I LOVE it. I know the fat % is not accurate per se, but it gives me a trend. It also gives me the same reading if I check it twice in a row. At my last check up, my dr. scale was 2 lbs. higher, which makes sense since I was dressed. :-)

I know they're not cheap but I'm actually happy with a scale, lol.

      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
