Does it taste like beef to you? I made one for my BF a few months ago and he swore it tasted like meat. Then he had one at a restaurant and it was very big, I forgot to take a pic because I was shocked. He asked me to taste test it first because he didn’t know if he would be able to tell if there was a mix up & was given a beef burger ? (He said oh well and dug in anyway)

They look awful and runny in my bowl because they’re on top of salad instead of something like rice, potatoes, naan, etc. that soaks up the moisture (plus I didn’t add potatoes or carrots to help the texture) This is the appealing version: They taste like ... lentils!?!?! ? someone please help me explain the taste/texture ?- Food Before and After Photos
Red lentil stew salad bowl ... looks meh but tastes ? I usually add potatoes and carrots but didn’t this time because it was too much extra effort when I was cooking yesterday ? ( but today I wish I did ?)- Protein Bars: What Part of Bariatric Diet?
Definitely later on during the regular diet phase ❤️- God the hunger!
If you can have unlimited vegetables, try making a soup/broth that you can eat/drink whenever your headache starts. Congratulations on the upcoming surgery!- Food Before and After Photos

- Feeling weak 3 weeks post-op + acid reflux
Hi! You may find that your energy will ebb and flow for a while. That’s pretty normal. The tired weak feeling should get better in time, the further out from surgery you are. Some reasons you may feel this way are lack of (metabolism assisting) vitamins like the B’s and not enough hydration. Hydration goes a little deeper that just the right amount of liquids, you also need electrolytes. The PPI’s (Proton Pump Inhibitors) are prescribed for a few month. It takes time for the surgical inflammation to go away. Confirm with your surgeon how long they expect you to stay on them. It’s only been three weeks since surgery, things should get better gradually. Good Luck ❤️ - Food Before and After Photos
