I just decided to purchase a better scale for our house. Is anyone familiar with the Eatsmart Precision Plus or the Precision Premium? What about the Ozeri Precision Pro II or any other ideas?

How have you found that the scale you have differs from what your Doctors office shows? Do you use the ones that show Weight, body fat, hydration and Muscle and bone mass?

What do you use, and how do you like it?

Does it show different readings on different areas of your bathroom tile?

I am really curious as to what your guys think!

This is a big deal because frankly I have never actually THOUGHT about buying a scale myself I just used hand me downs or what was available. So.. BIG step for me!

It's funny you should ask this now,I just (5 minutes ago) opened my Ozeri Precision Plus II that I ordered from Amazon. I really like the looks. It consistently weighs the same when I get on and off it. It weighed me the same as my old scale. It will weigh up to 440 lbs in .2 increments. I needed to get a new one because my old digital scale didn't light up and it was really difficult to see. It also had great reviews on Amazon. When I ordered it I used the coupon code ACCULOSS and ended up only paying $17.37 and it shipped free (but I don't think there is free shipping any more).

I use a $20 Weight Watchers version from Walmart... Works like a charm and always the same as docs. Have had it 2 years.

I own a Fitbit Aria wifi scale. Shows body fat, lean vs. fat mass, weight, etc. Previously, I owned a Taylor, which always showed about 2lb lighter than Dr's scale. This scale matches the Dr scale perfectly.

I also love the wireless sync option and the fact it combines effortlessly into one interface with my other fitbit items.

I have the Health o Meter Oil Rubbed Bronze scale from Walmart. Costs ~ $30. Internal memory for 2 stores the last weight and it will show you how much you got down or up. It does shows different readings on different areas of my bathroom tile but after owning it for about 6 months I know the trick.

I weight first on the bare floor and then I put the scale on top of the rug. I go with the smaller number. :D

It weights 2-3 pound less than my doctor's office because I usually weight myself wthout cloths.

Thanks for the tip! I bought a digital scale from Walmart (don't remember the brand name) and it shows your weight, body fat, and hydration level BUT if I step on, see the number, step off, and get back on, the second number could be 1-2 lbs different.

I just purchased the Ozeri one off Amazon you guys suggested. Free shipping and bonus code are still available.

EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom scale w/ Extra Large Backlit 3.5" Display and "Step-On" Technology.

Very happy with this. Last time I went to the doctors his scale and mine matched exactly.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
