I thought separating drinking from eating would be really hard for me - and it was at first - but i got used to it pretty quickly. I'm seven years out and still separate them.

Same.

This looks delicious (and restaurant-y looking). Or did you make this yourself????

100% Home cooked and yes very delicious!!
Thank you😊
Want a laugh…I much prefer home cooked meals over eating out now.
Feel like me and my husband (ok my husband lol we all know I hate to cook)
But he does a better job than any place we go out to

Salmon, green Beans w coconut shrimp

Has anyone tried *Konjac noodles*? I just came across these Japanese noodles that are extremely low in carbs and calories. Can fit perfectly in our lifestyle when we crave noodles.

Not sure if anyone has posted any pics here or had a discussion around it.

No, but Heard that they aren’t very good. I’ve never been a lover of Pasta so looking for substitutes post sleeve wasn’t ever a thought for me.
Like many have said there are posts on here of diff techniques of making them.
When people talk about the smell…what is the smell y’all? What is it compared to? Fishy?

I recently decided to try out the sous vide function on my Instant Pot, and I'm loving it! It's a great, practically foolproof way to cook chicken breasts perfectly. I'm going to try a steak next week.

Spinach artichoke stuffed chicken breast (with side salad)

Chicken broccoli roulade

That looks really good!

Taco night!
Ground turkey, lettuce, 1/2 avocado, one slice of Roma Tomato and a little shredded cheese
Ate it all except the tomato-tasted off. Think I kept it one day too long.
So after two little pieces I shoved it off to the side.

Date night. It’s # 5 with this guy, I’m thinking he’s a keeper! With and without a denim jacket. Our PNW weather hasn’t caught on yet that it is supposed to be warm & sunny.

I love this summer dress!!! You look amazing!!

Went to the Astros game today. By the time we got back in our car the inside temp read 109!! Ugh summer is def here. The high today was 100.
Next weekend the high is going to be 105. ☀️🔥☀️🔥

Enjoying a week off work so let the home meals commence!

Today’s included feeding Beans (a true feat!) to usually reluctant humans. Mine- crispy street style corn tortillas, homemade refried Beans, homemade pico, shredded cheese and sour cream I didn’t even need. Theirs were on fajita size flour tortillas as they still balk at corn ones.

I was too lazy to calorie calculate homemade refried beans so used what seemed close. Also, all dinner items were $13.44US but there’s tons of leftovers for lunches this week and I’ll end up freezing half the beans for later.

That looks delicious!!
Only one of my kids eats beans. I love beans!!

Good evening everyone,

It has been three months since my sleeve surgery and things have been going very well. I had a question for everyone in regards to diet: did you ever re-incorporate carbs back into your diet? If so, how long after surgery? If not, what substitutes do you use?

In the past three months I have not had any bread, rice, tortillas, or anything starchy...not even a cracker. And I will say, that is the one food change that makes me feel awkward or like I am missing out on deliciousness.

I know this post is a few mos old but I wanted to send a reply.
For me, I do not eat breads of any kind, no tortillas, no rice, no Pasta
I do eat tortilla chips when we go out to eat mexican food.
For me letting those back in would be bad. Everyone is diff. I’m strict with that type of stuff and have other areas of weakness that I allow instead. Like I love dark chocolate covered frozen bananas. They have carbs but it’s my treat.
You will have to gauge what are the things you want to eliminate for success and the things you are able to eat in moderation to maintain.
For me things that a lot of people can eat in moderation I wouldn’t be able to. Ex warm rolls w butter that they serve at restaurants. I DO NOT allow myself that at all. Can’t open that door.
There are a lot of low carb bread options that people on this site have found and they like. I don’t do them though.
I do substitute hamburger bun for lettuce and also when I eat tacos I use a lettuce wrap or make it a bowl instead. There are a ton of options and a wealth of info on this site. Good luck to you!! Keep us posted!

I should add that the Mango Dragon Refresher does have sugar and calories galore. It’s more of a treat. Not a daily for me. I usually grab a grande on the weekends when me and mom go shopping. 🥰

Does that on my iPad too. Spins for ages & nothing. So you try again & suddenly multiple posts appear.

Yes! Same!

Age is just a number. I’m 49 and feel (and act) like I’m 17. 😂

I had mine done last year and feel fab.

Of course, if you feel its not for you, then it’s not for you. But if the only thing that is holding you back is the number of years under your belt (and NOT health issues nor finances), then my insignificant suggestion is to go for it...plastics is a game changer.

Good Luck!

1000% agree w @ms.sss
I also had PS a little over a year ago. Sleeved almost 4 years ago. No regrets on either one!!
Like she said, if it something you want and can afford to do it, then go for it!
Keep us posted!

No spicy for me. I’m wimpy 🌶

@Arabesque looks so nice @Kris77 had to say it thrice 😂.

Lol I know my phone sometimes does that when I comment. It says error and looks like it didn’t post and then before I know it, it’s on there twice-or like this time three times lol

A modern 80s flashback. Tube skirt & matching sweater. Back then I swear I had a wardrobe full of summer & winter versions of this outfit in every colour (yes, I once wore lots of colour). Had court shoes in the matching colours too. The belt is a 2022 twist because the top was a little long proportionally.

PS. That’s not loose skin hanging over the belt. It’s the dense cotton knit fabric & me slouching a bit. 😂😂

PPS - it’s damn freezing here.

Love it! You looks so long and slim!

A weird quinoa bowl- quinoa, salad greens, kimchi, blueberries, cucumbers, and a whole wheat bolillo. Ended up eating less than half the bolillo of which a child claimed the rest of that and the bowl.

Not sure of calories but the cost was $1.65US

I think this looks so pretty and I’d love to eat it! Not sure what kimichi is but it looks good!

I know I’m one of the few out there but I personally don’t care for SB coffees of any kind-cold or hot.
I get the refreshers though and they are really good!!
My fav is the Mango Dragonfruit Refresher with Lemonade. Sooooo good!!

Dinner
Seasoned and Grilled pork loin
W zucchini and squash
With baked beans
Ate all but one piece of squash.

They both look really good!!
I miss yogurt!! One of those since my sleeve that make my stomach hurt.
That looks so good!
And I love black beans!! So I know I’d love that soup!
