Loose skin is one of the biggest fears stopping people from starting their weight loss journey.

But here’s the truth:

Loose skin is mostly influenced by:
• Age
• Genetics
• How long you carried the weight
• How much weight you lose

And no—losing weight slower doesn’t prevent it.

What actually helps?
✔️ Protein
✔️ Hydration
✔️ Strength training
✔️ Time

At the end of the day, loose skin is proof of how far you’ve come.

Health. Mobility. More years of life.

That matters more.

No one talks about this after bariatric surgery… but they should.

Transfer addiction is real.

When food is no longer your coping tool, the brain may look for another—like alcohol, shopping, or other habits.

This isn’t failure.
It’s how the brain adapts.

Awareness early = better control later.

Support matters more than willpower:
• Therapy
• Support groups
• Structure

Treat the body and the brain.

You’re not alone in this.

Most people panic at this stage… don’t.

3–6 months after bariatric surgery, a slowdown is normal.
Your body is adjusting not failing.

Weight loss isn’t linear. It’s a stairstep.

Focus on what matters:
• Protein
• Portions
• Habits
• Resistance training

And don’t trust the scale alone your body is still changing.

Zoom out. Stay consistent.

🥚 Soft, silky & protein-friendly!

Steamed Eggs perfect for the soft food stage after bariatric surgery 💛💪

👩‍🍳 You’ll Need:
🥚 2–4 eggs (depending on portion)
💧 Water (1.5x egg volume — see method below)
🍶 Optional toppings:
🌿 Soy sauce + rice vinegar + sesame oil + scallions
🌶️ Harissa
🧀 Soft cream cheese + everything bagel seasoning
🥬 Salsa verde

🔥 How to Make:
1️⃣ Crack eggs into a measuring cup
2️⃣ Measure egg volume, then multiply by 1.5 for water amount
👉 Example: 200 ml eggs = 300 ml water
3️⃣ Whisk eggs + water until completely smooth
4️⃣ Pour into ramekins or heat-safe bowls
5️⃣ Place in a pot with ~1 inch of simmering water (water bath method)
6️⃣ Cover and steam for 10–12 minutes
7️⃣ Cook until just set in the center (slight “jiggle” is perfect)
8️⃣ Let cool, then add your favorite toppings

💡 Why water (not broth)?
Bone broth can create bubbles and disrupt the smooth custard texture, so water gives the cleanest steamed egg consistency.

💪 Soft texture, high protein, and easy on digestion ideal for early bariatric recovery stages 🥣
