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!

      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.
