  • We could use a little more info to help us give you a better response. So are you being put on a 1200 calorie diet by a Dr? You should never go less than 1000 calories when dieting unless you are under a dr's care. Are you a pre bariatric patient like some of us on here?

  • I do it in morning either in pjs or after I shower and put shorts on. I do it that way because the Dr scales are fairly in tune with mine. But one day mine dropped 3 lb and later I got weighed at the one bariatric scale and it said I didn't lose anything. So maybe full of liquid. lol
