Best Scales for Measuring Body Fat/Muscle?

Hey all, I am 2 days pre-op from my roux-en-y. I have an old analog scale that changes its readings every time anyone gets on it and I really need a new scale. I am looking for suggestions from anyone who's had experience with the scales that measure your body fat/muscle at home? Which is generally more accurate? Which should I avoid? Thanks in advance.

I reccomend the Weight Watchers Body Fat scale, it tells you your weight, but also you can customize it for up to 4 people to measure body fat, Water percentage, bone density and bmi. It's awesome and accurate, and is important because sometimes you don't lose weight, but you do lose fat :)

I have a fit bit Aria scale and I really like it. But I have a fit bit too. It is nice that everything syncs and is tracked. I think it is pretty accurate but I treat them all as giving a general idea of how things are. Not 100 percent.

Measuring bone density would be cool.

I liked this article but would also recommend checking consumer reports.

Best of luck!
