Can you tell us the scale you have? I’m interested in possibly getting a new one

I'm not @lesslana, but this is the scale I have (the Withings Body+ smart scale).

https://www.withings.com/ca/en/body-plus

It's got pretty good reviews, tracks the main body composition info for up to 8 different people, is wi-fi and bluetooth enabled and now comes in 4 pretty colours, lol (I have white). It doesn't do heart rate though, but my watch does that so I can live with that.

One last thing I want to add to this topic. Stalls happen, fluctuations happen, and some people can take it in stride, and others may tend to get anxious and stressed. If you are on anxious/stressed side, consider taking regular measurements of your "body parts" and you may see decreases in inches even if your scale doesn't move (or goes up).

Case in point: I measure myself every Wednesday (i.e., today is measurement day :). So in the last seven days, I actually GAINED** 1/2 a pound but I lost:

  • .25 inches on the measurements of each of my waist, right calf & right upper arm
  • .50 inches on the measurements of each of my hips & right thigh
  • and, thank goodness, ZERO inches from my boobs this week (I can't lose any more boobage, pls!)

** Now another thing that affects the number on the scale: bathroom usage. I haven't pooped going on 7 days now (this is the longest I've not gone since surgery), and I have an appt with my PCP this afternoon to discuss my current predicament since my various efforts to go have been unsuccessful so far :(

I have the same scale and only have good things to say about it. I weigh every morning and makes it easy to track and integrates with other apps like loseit to track intake as well.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
