I read on a blog of a fellow sleever that Withings will calculate your BMI and connects to My Fitness Pal.

I just bought this one on Amazon the other day and it's pretty amazing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003N4AVKE

It's also on sale for an additional 20% off, so it comes to $39.96.

I'm using a Health-O-Meter Professional sliding scale. The electronic stuff is crap, IMO.

scales suck! Measure your loss by your clothes. 18 years ago I was in a size 10 at 140.... Now I am in a size 7-10 at 170. Muscle takes up way less space then fat. I didn't need to read a scale to see that I went from a size 26-24 to what I am wearing now! :) here's to a success story in the making! :)

I am not certain that the brand really matters but I prefer a high capacity digital scale with NO memory. Sometimes the ones with a built in memory do not show the very small losses. I was never heavy enough that I HAD to buy a high capacity scale but they stand up to more wear and tear.

This is the one I have. I know the decription is off, but it is a 400 pound capacity.

I've had the same scale since being banded 9 years ago... it's a Tanita and it is still going strong. You can can put your hieght i and save for 3 users and it calulates your body fat %. It may be a little outdated now... but it never wavers in the weight it gives me... some scales I would get a different weight if I got on 3 times in a row! When it dies... which will probably be never at this rate I will probably get the same brand. :)

I have the Fitbit Aria. It doesn't track hydration but does body fat %, it's accurate and automatically syncs to MyFitnessPal or the Fitbit site. I love the scale since I also use the Fitbit so it was a no brainer. I also have a plain EatSmart scale, it doesn't measure anything but weight though, but it's also super accurate.

      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.
