Hi. I was sleeved 10/21/13. HW 250 lbs SW 246lbs. At Christmas time I got one of those fancy scales that measures fat, Water, muscle and bone. So, on Dec 26th I weighed 206.6 lbs, bmi 34.4... scale measurements = fat 43.6, water 43, muscle 25 and bone 3.1. I kind of stopped tracking those numbers because they didn't seem to be changing. Fast forward to today. .. CW 175, bmi 29.1, fat 36.1, water 46.4, muscle 25.7 and bone 3.6. It's hreat to be able to track my progress in ways other than just scale or bmi! I still really need to work on muscle, which I know. I was pleasantly surprised to see bone mass go up though. I'm moving in two weeks and my new apartment has a fitness center. .. I just can't hardly wait to get my flabby but into it!

How does it measure bone mass? Is it by electrical conduction that it does all this? I have a hard time trusting those things because they depend SO heavily on constant hydration.... I'd never heard of one that does bone mass tho!

Yes, it has metal plates that you stand on with bare feet. I don't know how accurate it is but it seems very consistent and in line with my progress. I just thought it was cool!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
