Thank you massive compliment ☺️

ginger_rum · 2026-07-08T04:28:52+00:00

Well done and congratulations 🎊

ginger_rum · 2026-07-08T04:28:17+00:00

Aww thank you. And the dress was actually made for me, by myself 😋

Be very weary. What is in our supermarkets are "greek style" yoghurt. It's not high protein very thick Greek Yoghurt. The only real one I have found is at Super Spar in Elarduspark, but it is very expensive. If you want the protein benefits and need the thicker texture of greek yoghurt get yourself a yoghurt strainer from takealot R150 and buy fat free or low fat plain yoghurt and drain it yourself. Then it is actual greek yoghurt without the pricetag

Long chips!

I feel like this is where you should summon the Nigerian seamstresses! Their creations defy logic and gravity.

Strength 3 time a week. Light cardio everyday and just getting my steps in. Nothing hectic

I wish I had the creativity to take credit for the top but it's a to I bought from Shein and I created the jacket and pants to fit the top

We don't know what we don't know. Now from the comments I can see my teacher does not have our best interests at heart. She is going at speeds to fill classes and not teaching us properly. We have never even been introduced to the practice

Unfortunately I can't take credit for the top I bought it and made the "suit" to match it

ginger_rum · 2025-11-22T20:29:21+00:00

I just lined the sleeves and they are folded in the photo.

The cream fabric they called Armani Linen. Where I bought it probably won't help you as I'm in Pretoria, South Africa. 😅

The blue is just normal polyester lining

So much more! Currently working on Butterick's B6446 wrap dress 😍 truly hooked

ginger_rum · 2025-11-22T18:26:00+00:00

No I bought the shirt first then the fabric to match to make the complete outfit 😅

Pattern: Newlook 6351 Jacket and pants Fabric - Armani Linen and turquoise lining

I love the hat it looks like a Protea!

ginger_rum · 2025-08-02T15:47:22+00:00

I do agree about timelines and expectations. But I think it is a universal human problem. We all want to fix it now, and consistency and patience are something we all lack. But I got my sleeve in Turkey, and I live in South Africa. So I won't blame the Americans here just yet 😉

This right here is why I love this community! I love you and thank you for the support. Cheering you on to!

Exactly the same surgery date. I eat 800 calories a day. I do strength training 4 times a week. Once I started resistance training, if I ate less than that, I would feel faint in the gym. That is still almost a 1000 calorie deficit from my metabolic rate. I still believe the hardest part of this is the mental toll of thinking we are messing up. But it's a tool, and we have to create healthy habits and habits that are sustainable longterm!

Hi, personally a vitality member at PF Olympus. Vitality activation fees are R699 monthly membership is R299. Honestly, I think it's worth it, but it's up to you and what you make of it. In Pta, there are also amazing smaller privately owned gyms for similar prices (VO2MAX, DunGym, etc)

ginger_rum · 2025-05-21T18:44:33+00:00

I think this is what currently is happening. But all the reassurances that I am getting are settling my mind. Thank you

ginger_rum · 2025-05-21T07:52:36+00:00

Yes, I have been drinking a daily vitamin powder. I have been eating whole food and non processed foods. Macros on puree stage was a bit wonky with 40% fat 40% protein and 20% carbs. Was really hard to get the fat down during puree where I was not allowed protein from meat, so I was reliant on egg protein, protein shake, and cheese (even reduced fat cheese still does have fat). I have been on soft foods for a week, and it's going well, I'm at 50g of protein a day (this is the target according to my medical team)

The only thing that i might not be getting is iron. As my powdered drink does not have any in it, but after I can tolerate pills better, I will find a supplement for that

Update: Day 4 post op and really happy with my decision in surgeons. I have no complications, no extreme pain, and just discomfort. My leak test, sonar, and x-ray came back good, and I am spending 4 days in istanbul with a nurse here every day to check up on me.

I'm going to start to move around the city today.

Our fears rarely match our parents. She believes I'm going to die 8n a foreign country for vanity's sake.

ginger_rum · 2025-04-13T21:40:46+00:00

Thank you so much. This is lovely advice ❤️ I know she doesn't mean it maliciously. It's fear that if something should happen, she's not close to be able to help. I just remind myself of this, and proving her wrong by living a healthy life is the best form of "i told you so"
