Food Before and After Photos
GreenTealael replied to GreenTealael's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
OMG are we all eating the same things? Today I had eggs (egg and cheese on a tortilla) for the first time in a long while. I thing the surreal egg prices of a few months ago turned me off of them. -

the difference is definitely about the fat content (I believe it was 85/15 but I don’t generally worry about fat content) -

Semi Homemade mushroom calzone & garlic knots (store bought dough). The calzone wasn’t for me but I had about 5 garlic knots with 3 meatballs from the huge batch I made. -
New to Revision (Sleeve to Bypass) Seeking Advice
GreenTealael replied to CarmenG's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I think that if you are doing everything right, watch your sodium and water intake to see if you are retaining fluids. Otherwise just keep going and don’t get discouraged because you could just be in a stall. -

Freezer because I don’t eat butter often enough to need it soft except in March/April then it’s on the counter. -

Ok and go with 178 at the 6 month mark, I think that was the right number -
Treating saggy skin on the face
GreenTealael replied to Dogmom68's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
It will depend on a few different things but age is probably the biggest second only to budget. Is your face sagging or is it volume loss? For sagging only surgical methods really work to achieve the lifted tightened look. For volume loss you could use filler. If you’re young enough the non surgical treatments like RF may work to a degree (but not comparable to a facelift) but the older you are the less likely, and no one wants to waste money on things that don’t work. I’m sure you’ve seen a ton of videos but I think these are good at explaining the differences between different procedures. I hope it helps ❤️ BTW I don’t have sagging just loss of volume (thanks to WLS & COVID 🙄) And I’m doing biostimulators with a pro, manual microneedling at home and I have ALWAYS used retinoids. -

1. Basics: GENDER, AGE, HEIGHT Female 34yr 5’ 3” 2. Total Weight lost in the 6 months BEFORE surgery (if any) 11 3. Weight on DAY OF SURGERY 238 5. Weight at 3 MONTHs POST surgery 199 6. Weight at 6 MONTHs POST surgery 188 or 176 Apparently I kept terrible records of my weight loss probably because I only weighed at doctor’s visit during my losing phase. -

Mex inspired chicken soup. It was surprisingly good because it had cubed chicken breast so it was way to focus on the protein. I only ate about half. -

I can never tell unless something in the menu gives it away! Griot or any French/patois words -Haitian, “Ackee”-Jamaican and “Doubles”- Trinidadian. But this could be pan Caribbean! edit: I see the blurry “authentic Jamaican” on the sidewalk sign 😂 -
