We found digital scales at our costco, and bought a pair of them. They seem to be within a pound of each other when comparing them to each other. I like the digital electronic scales over the older mechanical designs. I do notice that how you stand on a scale can affect the weight reading by up to a pound.

Bed bath and beyond have a ton. I'm going to check them out this week. I want one that will tell me exact weight. The one I have now is a Walmart one that rounds to the nearest .5

I bought a Tanita 10 years ago and it is still going strong. I needed a good scale because of my weight at the time. I also liked the fact it had 5 different memory slots so multiple people could use it and it will remember your last weigh in.

quite expensive but it was worth it.

I've had a Thinner brand scale for years!! It is always exactly four pounds different from my doctor's scale, but I'm weighing first thing in the morning and in the buff at home and with clothes on and later in the day at the doctor's office.

I can't resist - the best scale is the one that shows your weight dropping!

Do not be surprised if any scale you purchase does not exactly match the doctor's scales. Good news for me, his is always 3 pounds lighter.

I have a scale that tells me how much I gained or lost, but not the number. Godsend.

There is a 20lbs difference from my home digital scale and my surgeon's office (his is lower) - with my PCP and nutritionist's offices also being different but closer to my scale. I've been thinking it might be time to buy a new scale for home - glad I found this thread!

Mine is a Weight Watchers brand digital scale. I bought it when I had my surgery five years ago and as an obsessive weight tracker, it has held up to religious daily weigh-ins and is very accurate. I just recently had to replace the battery. I believe I bought mine at K-Mart.

      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.
