The Great Arse Face Experiment (Or - Does Haemorrhoid Cream really help with your turkey neck?)



Recommended Posts

Neck exercises do help with toning the muscle under your chin and in your neck. Not the total problem solver, but it helps. Like everything else, consistency is key. I do them every so often and can feel it the next day.

BTW, you're looking great!!!! Awesome progress!!!

I have tried them and they do give temporary tightening. It doesn't last long and they are expensive. But helped me look better in a dress I had to wear for a wedding. This pre op when I was pretty heavy.

KF-you've been very quiet on this thread of late. You haven't been using so much of the cream that it's tightened up your typing digits? You know, a bit like when you apply fake tan and forget to wash your hands........... Just a thought x

Firstly, thank you ALL for the advice and the kind words...

In particular, all those of you who mentioned words such as 'handsome' and the like in regard to my bulbous, hairy bonce..

That doesn't happen very often...

Anyway, enough of this jibber-jabber..

THE RESULTS ARE IN -

Sad to say, that the advice that many of you provided was accurate...

The arse cream did NOT have a lasting effect on my turkey neck...

It did seem to make a difference to its appearance for a while...

There certainly seemed to be some tightening...

But as expected, this turned out to be a misunderstanding on my PT's behalf...

So -

What now?

I need another experiment...

Does anyone have any ideas?

I've a little time on my hands until my internet is hooked up, so I'm hoping you all can keep me busy...

You know about idle hands, right?

They're KindFamiliar's workshop...

And there's only so much 'work' I can do without going blind...

Or experiencing chafing... :mellow:

All ideas considererd!!!

@@KindaFamiliar ... thank YOU for your contributions to science.

Seriously.

However, I am seriously disturbed at the news from @@meatpie 's Down Under pharmacist that face-tightening ingredients have been removed from arse cream.

Which just goes illustrates that what once was true may no longer be true anymore. And that's some good science, too. ;)

Me and science go way back...

We used to hang out in school..

I'm always happy to help out my fellow recovering fatty-boom-bahs...

It's all part of being a man of the people...

Plus, it amuses me...

And apparently it amuses others as well...

I'm all for that sh*t...

I was recently having a discussion with a Personal Trainer (PT) mate of mine.

He was asking me about the changes I'd noticed with my body since losing my 230 lbs (so far)..

I told him about my 'deflated balloon belly'...

He laughed...

I told him about the 'bat-flaps' of skin under my upper arms that slap against me sometimes when I move...

He laughed...

I told him about my two sizes smaller feet...

He laughed..

The I told him about what was REALLY p*ssing me off...

My 'turkey neck'...

You see, I had a great big bullfrog type head...

Neck really...

I was one puffed-up-canetoad lookin' dude...

I mean, have a look at this - gallery_254366_23096_131367.jpg

As you can see, I've kept the beard in an effort to cover up the under-chin carry on...

Actually, that pic on the right was in October last year, so I've lost a little more from there now...

I'm in a new job now, so I'm decidedly more 'neat and tidy'..

Anyway, back to the 'roid cream thing...

My PT mate was telling me that a lot of the female body builders he knows use the 'roid cream to smooth their bits (no, not THOSE bits) when it comes to comp time...

He reckoned that if I grab a tube or two and have a crack at applying it regularly, it may just smooth and tighten my biggest uncovered embarrassment...

So, here's the sh*t -

Beginning Monday, I'll be applying the Doot Cream twice a day...

It'll be post shower in the morning and evening...

Over the weekend, I'll try to take a decent pic of the affected area...

If I can do so, I'll post it on Monday, then each Monday after I'll post updated pics to see if there's any difference...

I'll also be trying some 'neck yoga sh*t' that I just stumbled on when I googled "wobbly neck skin"...

I hope to be able to shave the beard off (or some of it) by my birthday in July (18th for all those planning gifts)...

So, if anyone is interested, stay tuned and we'll see how we go...

Of course, if anyone has already tried this, please feel free to chime in and let me know how you went...

Thanx for reading all the way to the end...

Assuming you did...

Jason

Lol. I gotta see if this works! Excess skin is a major concern of mine too. Keep us posted!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
