I am finally approved. Does anyone use a specific scale that they find helpful? I begin my pre-op diet today. I am so excited.

To be honest with you, I made it a point not to use the scale. After my surgery, I didn't weigh in until my first check up at the surgeons office 30 days after. Then I stayed off the scale till the next one two months later. And again for three months. Now, many people feel that they should weigh themselves weekly to keep themselves on track. For me, I knew I would just take myself on crazy head trips and become obsessed. I still have a policy to never weigh myself more than once a month. I know when I am eating true to what feels good for my body and my life and when I'm not. That said, there's a scale that is put out by fit bit that syncs up with your fit bit and your app and it supposedly helps you keep track of not only of body weight body fat. I know a lot of people on this forum think highly of the measurement of body fat as opposed to using weight alone as a measure of success. Me: I am just trying to fall in love with my body regardless. And too much quantifying disrupt the process. Best of luck!
