Yeah, gotta do something about that. It's really not good.

Is this what my surgeon meant when he talked of intra-abdominal fat, or is that something else?

I'm working on my omentum maximus, it's in danger of upgrading from apron to boiler suit!

among some i won't repeat in polite company, ive also heard it referred to as a "christmas package"

I should print this out and post it on the refrigerator

No omentum shaming on here please....

drlindseyfitz.bsky.social•16 days ago

No shame at all! Just facts 😂

My fatty apron is more saggy than this one.

Mine got nicely built up thanks to life saving (for me) SSRIs. Now, physical entropy is adding to it. Truly a great thing for a person who has Olympic tier self-loathing and Depression, in this time of fat being equated with sloth, greed, laziness and considered a matter of CICO. Good times.

Or let's just call it the mmmm-omentum!

I call it my "primordial pouch" in solidarity with my cats.

Could I have that printed on an apron?

Same! To be honest, I give up trying to shift it for the summer. The UK has been dismal and cold the last two years, its year-round stews and hot puddings!

drlindseyfitz.bsky.social•15 days ago

That's true - there is basically only one season in the UK atm 😂

gritgal.bsky.social•16 days ago

Well, this is motivating me to start counting my calories 😭😂

At first glance I thought this was a really weird, artistic bread loaf 🤣

Cool way to store fat and keep intestinal coils from getting knotted.
