Ode to Loose Skin
My body droops now
Like melted string cheese, or Tommy Wiseau
Flacid fat, deflated flesh balloon
Crepey like wadded tissue,
gross as a handful of chicken fat
Ugly and endearing as a manatee
(the pancake of the sea)
I love every inch of my loose hide
Every sagging absence of fat
Where my angular clavicles slant
Propelled by calves that could have been
Sculpted by Michelangelo
Makes me smile at its absurdity
We laugh to survive

This is an excellent poem! Your sense of sound is artful- especially appreciated the lines

Every sagging absence of fat
Where my angular clavicles slant
Thanks for the poetic pep talk! I just got approved and am waiting on my date and the sags with great anticipation.

Damn you are close to your goal :rolleyes: I knew I would have loose skin under my arms and on my stomach but on my knees LOL oh well I'll take it over the 55 pounds of fat that was once there and I am hoping it all goes back in to place ;) (just f**king around) I'm good with it.

Oh yes to much skin! I knew my stomach would be bad which it is. But I never thought I would have a problem with my thighs and arms. I had a pic taken of me in a tank top and I cringed!! I will still take this over what I had before!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
