Scales! Not sure that mine is good...Suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Didn't do any research when I bought the scale I have now that I bought a couple of years ago ...and the readings are off when I go to the doctors. Looking to get a more accurate one before I head into surgery Aug 26th. Any suggestions on what to get?

Look on the big mans clothing and they sale scales. I bought one four months ago and went for post op check up and it was dead on the money.

Try a Weight Watchers scale about 30 dollars. Target sells them. You could try a Tanita scale it measures body fat as well. The weight Watcher scale is only a pound off from my doctors office scale.

I got the "Biggest Loser" digital scale from Target- I think it was $40. I really like it. It's 1-2 pounds lighter than my doctor's scale.

Oh stop! :P

Honestly, when I bought it years ago I had considered the 500lb max model but saw myself exceeding that in the future.

My doctor's office uses one - if I didn't have the one above I'd get a Tanita.

      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.
