Advise on buying a scale?



Recommended Posts

I know I need to buy a good one. Digital I assume. I've looked at a few, but does anyone have any advise or opinions? I also need to buy a kitchen scale to weigh food. I like the ones with the removable plate/bowl.

Thanks,

Barb

Hey Blund, I bought a food scale in Dec 2007. Salter, model #1440. I LOVE it. Has everything you should need. All you have to do is type in what your food is that you are weighing and it gives you everything on the screen. Bought at Macys.

I bought my bathroom scale back in 1995 believe it or not. I love it. It's sturday and has ALWAYS been accurate with my clinic's scales. Each and every time. It's a Health o meter personal scale. Not digital. Has the big dial. Best scale I have ever had. Hope you find something that will work for you.

I bought my digital Taylor scale at Walmart for about $35.00 and it's the best scale I've ever had! It's always right on the money, even if it doesn't always give me the answer I want....:biggrin:

Hi. Thanks for the advise. I bought a food scale and a bath scale online at "Save On scales." They had several on clearance and the food scale has the nutrition calculator and a memory so it will keep a running total. Sounded cool, I just hope its not too complicated to operate!! I have 48 hours to return them anyways. Shipping was very reasonable too...still worth the price.

Thanks again,

Barb

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
