Hi Hunnybunny @Starwarsandcupcakes how are you doing? -
Well that’s unfortunate.😔

Honestly I’m more worried about the female gaze. What are you planning now that you believe I am the competition? Anyone noticed a shift in the females they interact with now vs then? Bonus: link to a (long form) video that analyzes body fat and perceived attractiveness

Thank you!

Vegan leather (so fake 🤣) and idk why it’s showing up green (which would be amazing and now I want it) but it’s a basic black.

Finally I have something new to share: A Gochujang tofu poke bowl. I ordered it without the rice base (which always throws people off, IDK why) and it was perfect -
I find the underpinnings of sexual attraction interesting from an evolutionary/biological perspective. Did you know that there is an ideal hip to waist ratio that indicates sexual attractiveness and can also predict health outcomes? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waist–hip_ratio There are so many studies of these types biological reasons of attraction, I just don’t take it personally anymore. In fact I say thank you, but keep going about my business. A few rabbits holes: https://psychcentral.com/blog/do-looks-matter-in-a-relationship#do-looks-matter: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886920303603 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513806000614 I’ll never forget being propositioned in Vegas 2 years ago and saying that I'm partnered and unavailable. The guy said so what. I stopped him and flat out asked if he would not want the same response and courtesy if I were his partner? He said “yes you’re right, I forgot”. He forgot. And I believed him. He clearly was on the hunt. And I can’t pretend that the same sex isn’t just as bold. I’ve been approached by a ton of women sometimes 20 yrs my junior when I wear what my boyfriend calls my hippie witch clothes (basically a bustier/corset and long flowy skirt) I met my current partner after WLS so no issues there for me. But every year at least one old flame resurfaces to try their luck with me.

can you live entirely off protein the shakes??
GreenTealael replied to Bessieboop1981's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
It’s possible whoever told you this meant short term as in the immediate preop and early post op period. Or meant you can supplement/augment protein needs with shakes in addition to food but your bariatric team will move you through food stages and require you eat actual foods. -

Apparently I was also defiant. My Mum loves to remind me I refused to “eat those little trees” aka broccoli at 3 years old. I don’t remember this but I do remember having an irrational fear of eating baby corn at that age. 😆 -

GreenTealael replied to Bessieboop1981's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
No and no doctor would support this without extenuating medical circumstances. Even then it would be a nutritional/total meal replacement drink. On this site we don’t support dangerous behaviors. -
The version I grew up with has a smoother silky texture, not really like grits.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes the tiny onion ring! -

I did not. However my boyfriend did and it has been the biggest struggle to convince him that he is free to stop when he wants. At one point he, early on, he tried to control my intake, I had to set a hard boundary. He even apologizes if he can't finish something. I honestly wish parents didn't do this to children because it's feels impossible to reverse. Sending virtual hugs to you and strength for the battle. -

Food. A lot of listeria contamination warnings lately but maybe it has always been this way and I’m just noticing. -
