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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
