Body weight scale recommendations



Recommended Posts

I'm celebrating my 2 year surgery anniversary in a few days and want to Celebrate by buying myself an excellent body weight scale. I've been using an old WW digital scale for years and the thing that bugs me is that I can weigh myself three times in a row and get three different readings on it.

So - what's your suggestion for the Best Scale Ever - or the best type of scale (digital? balance beam? analog?)

I have this Body Analyzer 1. It was sponsored by a few youtube channels, where you can get 10-15% -off. I posted the link for it below. However before buying it, check youtube vloggers for discount codes ;)

I have a Withings. It connects to my phone via wifi or bluetooth (don't remember which) and syncs with My Fitness Pal. I've had it a year and love it. I'm not sure how accurate it is on body fat, though. But it's a great scale. https://www.withings.com/us/en/products/body

I was at Target a few months ago and I found a Weight Watchers digital blue tooth scale on clearance for less than 20 bucks. It does weight, BMI, muscle mass, and a few other things. I really like it.

We carry Yunmai wireless scales and the infamous Escali scales in the BariatricPal Store. I personally use the Yunmai and love it!

I have been a fan of the FitBit Aria for years! If you already have a FitBit, it syncs to the app and updates for you!

I hate my Fitbit Aria... I never get consistent weights even after "recalibrating" it like they suggest if this happens... this morning I got 8 different weights that were up to a 6lb difference... so frustrating especially since it wasn't a cheap scale.< /p>

If you buy a wireless one, understand the technology first, especially if you live in a rural area. I had one that used AT&T cell towers but I'm in the boonies with Verizon towers. scale worked, but would never transmit.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
