I currently do not weigh my food but need to start. I'm almost 7 mos post op and need to start tracking. I just guess at ounces of meat etc. If you own a food scales what brand do you recommend and where?

thx

I use an old digital Weight Watchers scale that I bought during my many attempts at loosing. :) I would recommend getting a digital one though.

i got a cute red one from Amazon (10.99) and its digital and about the size of a saucer plate. def worth the money. but walmart/target has some nice options also. (i purchased this before i was able to walk through the store to buy for myself).

I use one by Oneida I got at Wal mart about $25. Just bought last week. Things to look for:

Digital is a must, weighs in grams and ounces, and has a bowl or container to hold food while measuring. Also may want to look for a scale that uses regular batteries (Like AA). This Oneida one uses those more expensive disc batteries.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
