Food Before and After Photos
GreenTealael replied to GreenTealael's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Can I say I’m tired of all things vegan? Is that allowed? No? It has become increasingly difficult to cook three types of meals so I’m going to stop, again. 🤣 Sorry about the job but you’re right, their loss. -

Food weight: before or after?
GreenTealael replied to IWant ToDelete MyProfile's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
If you eat something raw, weigh and log it raw (vegetables, nuts, sushi, etc) and if you eat it cooked, weigh and log it cooked. If you are using an app, there is a wide selection of preparation styles to choose from for the same foods. When I’m in doubt, I choose the highest calorie count that closely represents the food so I don’t run the risk of undercounting calories. -

It may take the “feel” of restriction time to kick in. But at least you could tell when you had enough. -

Almost identical experience. After surviving this test I was fully committed to getting the procedure. -

All of the Fajas I used were Colombian brands (M&D) but I think having them altered to your dimensions may be more important that any particular brand (if they provide the same level of compression) If you do get them altered ask to har the seems on the outside so there are not marks made on your skin from the fabric.

Is the chili you used vegetarian/vegan? If so can I have the brand name? Another one of my children just went 100% plant based 🙄 -
Compression garments for after plastics surgery or body contouring.

Are they too big in the torso, hips? Have a tailor take a sector out or sew it closer to your proportions. The recommendations varies on whether to wear one or not. If you had any amount of liposuction, surgeons will suggest them for better results. they may or may not for skin removal (may suggest a binder or lighter compression garments instead) but I know can be important when trying to keep swelling to a minimum to prevent sutures from breaking, but binders can handle that too. Fajas can be uncomfortable until you get used to them. But you can also become dependent because of the support they provide. Then you’ll need to wean off. If your surgeon said wear one, begrudgingly do it. But the moment you can take it off permanently, don’t hesitate.
