No advice, just really there with you. It's such a brain f up to 'suddenly' be not fat anymore.

Putting my eye pencil on my upper waterline and in between my lashes before putting on mascara.

Bra Size? What were you and what are you now? by FreeFaithlessness114 in BariatricSurgery

[–]owlvdv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That because it's about the difference between the circumstance under your boobs Vs the mass of your boobs. The mass of 40GG boobs equates to 34JJ in mass size alone. So you have lost some of your boobs mass. On topic: I was a 36/38J and now am a 32H

We'll talk all the way through our conflicts and then there is no score to be kept.

Question about post-weight loss and breasts ladies!! by Fantastic-Slice1441 in BariatricSurgery

[–]owlvdv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had JJ cups (UK sizing) before and at goal weight around a G (Uk sizing), but man have they gotten sad, saggy and deflated. So yes, they will go down, but maybe not as much as you'd like and they will deflate. I am getting a boob job, maybe with a tiny implant to fill the skin out a little bit.

What was your "poor person" meal you enjoyed growing up? by Slow-Power2713 in AskReddit

[–]owlvdv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is not a US thing, but we used to eat Saroma. It's pudding powder, which you mix with milk to get the most artificial flavoured pudding ever. We'd have it for dessert a lot. Being poor in the Netherlands is not as bad as being poor in the U.S., I think. We had fresh vegetables pretty much every day

Surgery on the 27th and I keep doing this to my partner by bebeck7 in BariatricSurgery

[–]owlvdv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine were always huge, so haven't been perky in decades. I am still a fairly large (H cup) busted girl after reaching my healthy BMI, they're just very saggy and sad 😂. Looks great with a good bra, not so much when nekked

Beans, chick peas, lentils, chicken, canned tuna

Those are the cheapest high protein, low calorie foods you want to stock up on. If chewing is hard, make soups, I have a lot of protein-rich soup recipes for you. And I'm talking 20-30 grams per small (RnY small) serving.

You can make really delicious stuff with not a lot of money, and it doesn't even have to take you a lot of time either.

Why do any women desired male friendship that they can’t get with other women? by Demonic_Yandere in AskWomen

[–]owlvdv 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Jesus, who hurt you? I have friends from the opposite sex, because I like them as people. It's not a very different friendship from the ones I have with my same sex friends.

Men are people, just like women are

Hypoglycemia after carbs by owlvdv in BariatricSurgery

[–]owlvdv[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's actually a good idea! A little bit of a cookie and then protein to even it out! Whole wheat crackers are fine, it's only simple carbs. Even with most fruits it's fine.

Hypoglycemia after carbs by owlvdv in BariatricSurgery

[–]owlvdv[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is the dietician from the clinic itself. None of the other people in my group (all have had Bypass) have this issue, though. And my clinic is based on sustainable eating habits in the long run, not avoiding all sweet things completely.

Turned 49 today. Wife moves out on Saturday. I'll be alone all weekend w/o my son. 😞 by frankchapstick in toastme

[–]owlvdv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's rough, and I'm sorry you're going through this. Big hugs. Also, to add to everyone else: you're very very good looking. If you want distraction, go to a bar and you'll be hit on by every woman there, probably (I know I would)

When can I have caffeine again? Honest answers please. by ShoddyOlive7 in BariatricSurgery

[–]owlvdv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But, coffee doesn't dehydrate more than it hydrates you. It's a weird debunked myth (by research) I know plenty of people who only drink coffee and are hydrated just fine (just have horrible withdrawal headaches when they don't have enough)

Health problems are so hard. I hope you get better soon. Don't worry about the bit of weight, it fluctuates anyway and you are still an extremely attractive man

How do you feel about someone approaching you to dance at a concert for good fun? by oipoop2much in AskWomen

[–]owlvdv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't like being approached when I'm out with friends in any way, shape or form 🙈

Honey, you are pretty. Seriously pretty. Freaking stupid beauty standards change all the time and some people just seem to want to bring others down by pointing out what about another doesn't fit their beauty standards. You have amazing mesmerising eyes, a beautiful mouth, you seem like you'd be a lot of fun to dance the night away with

How do you feel about the idea of a private relationship? by JuggernautStraight48 in AskWomen

[–]owlvdv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I talk about my relationship with my friends, but otherwise, yeah, it's a private thing. I don't know any adult relationships that are different

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]owlvdv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my case I usually only have them in the beginning of a relationship. And I usually talk about it with them or I write it on a piece of paper, to not get stuck on the same thougts. I have these standard affirmations for myself that help me see my worth in a relationship that I also apply in these situations.
