With shopping and stuff, it'll free up about 90 mins...

Which means I'll have nothing for the entire day...

I guess it's "BP stalking and stirring up sh*t Sunday" this weekend!!

Hey look, I am a hot old girl but I can take terribly unflattering photos when I put my mind to it. I don't feel like revealing my turkey neck right now tho.

You really do look great in spite of that funny accent

Good morning guys. 6.45 here in the UK and sitting in bed, with a cup of tea, the menagerie and husband still snoring and I am chuckling away to myself. What a great way to start the day-reading the Great Arse Face Experiment posts. I'm not being sarky either. For once I'm serious. Just think of all those people who wake up and spend the day with faces like smacked arses as that is just how they naturally, or by temperament are!!!!! Blimey, at least we all have the capacity to laugh at ourselves.

I've just remembered a little incident concerning my flappy neck which I shall impart to you mob.

Have had to renew my passport in the last couple of weeks. The first set of photos I had taken showed a great expanse (well it looked like the Grand Canyon to me) of spare neck flesh. I spent about a day wondering if I could cope with looking at them for the next ten years every time I travelled anywhere. Vanity won out and I went back to the photo booth but this time with a scarf elegantly swathed around my neck. This is now the version which is with Her Majesty's Passport Office! post-266130-14623418792394_thumb.jpg

You can just see a few bits of flappy flesh but on the whole, think I've got away with it.

As for the research, on the case................

Are these the before pictures? Where are the pictures with the cream all over your face? And after pictures?

So....

Just to add some not great news to this thread- (and I thank you for your amazing pioneering work in this area) I spoke at length with a pharmacist about this and apparently in Australia the ingredient that was responsible for the tightening under eyes was taken out of all the products 2 years ago. ????

And the current products are not safe to be used under the eyes (I know the experiment is on neck area.... But I'd planned on bathing in the stuff if it was true)...

So for u guys in the USA and elsewhere- just check with a chemist about the ingredients.

thanks for a great post!

Thank you Inner Surfer Girl. You are a sweetheart. However, the only sashaying that I'm doing at the moment is (wearing wellies and mud splattered jeans) is over hill and down dale (OK in the two beautiful parks adjoining Hampton Court Palace) with three overexcited mutts, one who got hold of a dead rabbit from a crow yesterday and WOULD NOT drop it! I did however see the following-yes I know we're on a thread about arse face cream guys but we need a commercial break occasionally!post-266130-1462428721157_thumb.jpg

On the question of the cream, does anyone know what the active ingredient was or maybe still is in certain parts of the world? Could we (if we find out what it is get a consortium together and maybe market it................it's only a thought................ ) Damned Nanny State Do-Gooders. How dare they ban and remove an ingredient in a product that could be of enormous use to certain members of society. Must be a case for interfering in our our human rights or freedom of choice or something along those lines....................

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
