This is the “Food Before and After” thread. If you are looking for the general “body” before and after thread you can find it here:

Did you have this procedure? https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/argon-plasma-coagulation-for-weight-loss If so, pretty interesting! Please add more information because someone might be very interested and not know it’s even a possibility. Congratulations on doing well.

Just regular eggs 😂 Not free Cage-free, Pasture-raised, and Free-range, etc.

Please share this recipe 😍

Egg prices in my area are back to normal. I think I paid $1.50 USD for non specialty eggs a week ago. I’ve resigned myself to only buy fruit on sale/promotion. Somethings I cut and immediately freeze like pineapple. Fruit has been going bad too quickly imho.

I never try to cut the calories on homemade foods because when I cook it’s usually so bare bones (I even added olive oil to this recipe). However, I’m always completely shocked when I calorie check the foods after I eat them 😂.

I saw it immediately after I posted!

I’d sign up for that newsletter. I was briefly addicted to virgin mojitos and iced tea 😂

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.

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.

Congratulations!

So I prepped a mega batch of Turkey meatballs (65) and I’m going to freeze the majority of them for future meals.

Ok and go with 178 at the 6 month mark, I think that was the right number

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.

What is the added item that makes it only almost pure?

Yes it will get easier but because you are immediately post op and experiencing a complication it may not feel this way. I hope you have a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

You may want to chat with someone like @loridee11 who climbed Kilimanjaro! (I’m still amazed 🤩)

Just an update on the expanding science in the treatment of obesity! https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02092-9 https://www.gq.com/story/the-next-ozempic-will-probably-be-a-pill/amp https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/06/23/health/eli-lilly-pill-orforglipron/index.html https://nypost.com/2023/06/27/new-triple-g-weight-loss-drug-may-be-better-than-ozempic/amp/

Hahahaha don’t say that or Novo and Lilly may add that to the side effects of GLP-1 meds 🤣

Oh Lordy! Try them for me 😋 How can I be so hypocritical so fast! I just said I don’t like food anymore a few post ago but any sign of Caribbean (or Indian) food and clearly do like eating 😆
