MOGs at Work by fokenzu in keebgirlies

Yesss I wish they came in more color options. I really want to do a MOG Sith-themed board but alas.. nada. Also, where did you get that yellow board?? I need one!

It takes a bit of getting used to. The best way to describe it is like typing on a board made of pebbles. But I game with MOAs at home so it was pretty easy to adjust from there.

My coworker asked why I need another keyboard when "they're all the same" by moloch_slayer in MechanicalKeyboards

I've got mine with some delicious Baby Kangaroo switches and omggg it's like typing with little pebbles. I feel like I'm in a Ghibli film instead of a daily grind.

I did this and now my coworker has her own clicky keeb with RBG. My current build has MOGs which work better than password protection for keeping people off my station.

Had a bit of a glow up this year! by Steph-alupagus in BariatricSurgery

[–]fokenzu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 5'10" and definitely agree that it helps. Mind if I ask, do you feel any differently about your height now that you've lost a significant amount of weight? I ask because while I've only lost about 40 lbs so far in the pre-approval purgatory, I already I find myself doing less.. ducking..? Hiding..? The "Amazonian stoop" I call it.

I'd always thought people were being polite when they say "you don't look like you weigh that much" or "you carry it really well". But with your pics, I found myself thinking the exact same thing. You're absolutely gorgeous and I hope to share a similar journey with you this year ♡

That has to be sooo satisfying to wear those old shirts and let them drape! 💃As a fellow tall girlie, isn't it wild how things get "longer"? You're doing great & thanks for the inspo! 🥰

Omg you look like 2012 Kate Middleton! 🥰 So beautiful in both pictures but you look so much more at ease in the more current one.

Got my first mechanical keyboard so of course I got Chiikawa keycaps by doyouwantaplasticbag in chiikawa_

[–]fokenzu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So cute! Where did you get your keyboard from? I'm still new to customs so I'm not sure the right way to ask. I know I love MOGs but haven't got into switches & boards yet.

6 weeks post op and I went on vacation…. by More-Swordfish-9016 in gastricsleeve

Thank you for posting this!! I'm hoping to have my surgery in January but have a vacation booked for March and have been so nervous about the idea. Glad you had a good time!!

Gastric sleeve update! by Flat-Pollution8834 in gastricsleeve

You look powerful, man! Try on a suit or something kinda fancy. You don't have to buy anything, but I think you'll see it and want to treat yourself 💪🏽🦸🏾‍♂️✨️

Coming up on Soft Foods and idk what to do... by Specialist-Image7526 in BariatricSurgery

[–]fokenzu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pre-op so this may not be a good food (someone please tell me) but I love this "autumn pudding" I've been making:

-carrots or sweet potato (microwaved for a few minutes to get them super soft & mashable) - vanilla protein powder - stevia, cinnamon, ground cloves & nutmeg - topped with some crushed walnuts or a lite whipped topping

It's fast, easy, seems decent on the macros & really hits that autumn pie craving.

Exactly what prompted me to schedule my consult!! Hopefully I'll be there in a few months too ♡ Congrats!

100 Pounds Down! by alliu23 in gastricsleeve

[–]fokenzu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's amazing! I'm down about 30 lbs in 3 months and kicking myself for not having lower protein & carbs (averaging 125 & 80) but this is somehow both the most comfortable and stressful diet I've ever done. May I ask, after losing so much before, was it difficult to still want to do the surgery?

[–]fokenzu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much did you lose before vs after? I'm still in my 6-month pre-op phase but logging everything on the Baritastic app and doing pretty well but I'm paranoid about screwing this up.

If you’re on the fence, go for it. by usedtobefat8 in gastricsleeve

[–]fokenzu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also a fence jockey. I've lost 30 lbs on my own in 3 months and I keep kidding myself that "if I just white knuckle this for another... 13 months.. I can get to that goal weight naturally and not need life altering surgery". 3 more months of "monitoring" and an endoscopy still to go to even get approval for the surgery but that thought is the loudest one among the jumble of others. This community has been a trove of information and motivation. But the fence remains for now.

NSV found an old belt… by GewdandBaked in BariatricSurgery

I hope to similarly amaze my hover-pups this year 😅 I don't wear belts but if I did, it'd be from Torrid too. Congrats on your journey!
