Has everyone bought a scale for weighing yourself post surgery? I haven't owned a scale in years.

Do any of you have a scale you like (is there such thing)?

Thanks!

I use a scale from Target by Weight Gurus. It has lots of features like bmi, and some other stuff.

There is such a thing and some of the new fangled ones I hear even keep track of your weight and what you've lost or gained. [emoji38]

I bought a basic one on Amazon before I started my pre-op stage. It keeps me in check but it's important to keep a mentak note not to use it too much as it can become obsessive (guilty of that at one point)

There's some advanced ones that connect to fancy weight loss apps, but I like my normal $19 one.

I have a FitTrack Dara scale. I like that it gives me additional metrics, though I'm not sure how accurate they are so I take them with a grain of salt. The app can be a little tweaky, but overall it does what I need.

I still have my high-capacity Escali scale that I bought when I weighed almost 400 lbs. I considered buying a new one and "gifting" my Escali to a morbidly obese friend, since it's hard to find scales that go above 300 lbs, but the thing is so accurate and ended up keeping it.

I use a fairly basic scale by Greater Goods I purchased from Amazon that was purported to be among the most accurate, and all I can say is that it does its job...I generally weigh almost exactly what I do at my surgeon's office at home.

I also have a very basic scale I've had for years. No incentive to upgrade and it hasn't inhibited my weight loss or the monitoring thereof even a tiny bit!

Never bought a scale post-op and the one I had pre-op was insufficient to the task for the first couple years post-op. Once I could weigh on the home scale I didn't, opting only to weigh at follow-ups and other medical appointments.

One does not need a home scale to follow their plan.

Good luck,

I bought a new one recently because my old one died. I bought a weight watchers scale. Mid price of their range. It does a lot of things like measures your fat, bone density, water. I just use it for my weight. Can’t be bothered to set the personalised report function. I weigh a couple of times a week now just to keep myself honest & on track.

I have the Fitbit Aria scale. It is connected via Bluetooth to my Fitbit and Fitbit app and then automatically updates my stats to the Baritastic app, which I love!

It does include BMI and multi-user settings for age and other stats. I've had it for 2 years and just now had to change the batteries last month. If I step on the scale with my phone, even when I'm not wearing my Fitbit, it automatically enters my weight so there is no separate recording/logging, which is a real plus to those early morning weigh sessions.

Thank you! I'll check this one out, too, since I have not bought one yet. I am getting a new fitbit for Christmas!

I have 3 scales. lol

My favorite is the Innotech wireless Bluetooth smart body scale that I got at bariatricpal. That thing is so consistent regarding weight. Up to date, it by far, the most consistent scale I've ever owned. I love the app too. My other two scales are not consistent at all, especially if I tilt or move.

My husband bought me a fancy scale for Christmas that measures the body fat percentage and all that. I never use those functions. It is pretty consistent in terms of weight though. Better than the cheaper ones I have used in the past.
