Huge weight fluctuations!

[Nanner481 3]

It's so hard to keep track of how much I've lost when the fluctuations are HUGE! I know some fluctuation is normal but seeing the scale go up 6 or 7 pounds overnight and then back down is driving me nuts. Does anybody else have this problem with orbera? I've only had it for 2 weeks and I wonder if my body is just adjusting weird.

Generally my weight will fluctuate a pound or two during the day. As a result I always weight myself first thing in the morning before Breakfast and butt naked. Clothes can easily add 5 pounds to my weight. After surgery, I found that my weight fluctuated too much. It was a bad scale. I could stand on it two times in a row and get variations, sometimes as much as 5 pound variations. So I threw that scale away and found a better one. I found one that was repeatable, one that was accurate to 0.2 pounds increments, and one that also had a large visible reading so that I did not have to bend down to see the numbers.

The brand I selected was "beurer Model BF66". I bought it at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Oh, one other thing, you might check the batteries in your current scale before you throw it out. Sometimes when the batteries get weak, just before they die, scales can give erroneous readings.
