Yuummmmm (drool) food porn indeed!!

some food porn for your viewing pleasure!
i always always take pics of my food but haven't been posting much of them as i used to.
here is a sample of what i've been eating the past couple weeks!
        

That cheesecake @GreenTealael looks amazing. Yum! I round up the calories & down the Protein. I also call fluids in Soup, etc. & what I drink to swallow my meds bonus fluids & don’t count them either. Lol!
My oven isn’t working properly. Waaah! Interestingly it worked fine on a Sunday then three days later after the electrical company turned off our power for 8 hrs it didn’t. Hhmmm?? The top element heats. The bottom element heats but turn on the fan & nothing, no heat. Have to go back to old school non fan baking or call the service team to come out. Gracious knows how much the call out alone will cost. Service call-outs have got ridiculously expensive. Are they crazy in the US too?

cheese quesadilla. I overestimated the amount of cheese because I didn’t measure it ahead of time. Does anyone else overestimate calories to be safe?

Homemade Basque cheesecake (sugar free/keto) each slice is around 275 cals

It’s always Soup time @GreenTealael & yours looks yummy.
Did another expedition into the depths of my freezer yesterday & found minced beef so I made rissoles with a little gravy. 500g gave me 6 meals of which I froze 5. Didn’t remember to take a pxt until an hour after they were in the freezer so they’re partially frozen in the pxt.

Is it Soup time yet? chicken soup w/carrots, quinoa & ginger

French toast made with Keto bread. I tracked 2 slices but only took a pic of 1.

Ditto to what Arabesque said.
I’m 5 years Post Sleeve. So speaking from a little experience that I have had.

Like she said you have to adjust to a new way but it’s just a new way. It’s not unsustainable. We all use to eat portions that were way over what we should have and a lot of us got to our heaviest points this way.
It is a bit of a mind-$&@! but you will get use to your new normal and it will become so normal. I know you don’t think so yet but give your mind and body a chance to get use to this big change.
Hang in there. We are all here for you. Some of the people on here have helped me sooo much. A lot of really great info. You will find recipe ideas and which ones work for you and which don’t etc.
BP is a great resource and support system. I wish you the best!

Time to resurrect this thread as I’m heading back in for Round 2 and 3!

First of all, I’m pleased to report that I’m still loving my results from my MMO!

Current pic plus closeup of my scar which is nearly invisible! I’m so pleased with the scar that I decided to go for it and get the arm lift and thigh lift done. Would rather have the scars over the saggy skin and I’m tired of wearing long sleeves and pants to cover up.

Before that though, I’ll be heading in for a facelift. Surgery is tomorrow. I’m so excited!

Ok let me upload my updated MMO pics and then I’ll be right back to post my gross neck pics! Lol!!

Street tacos (ground Turkey, corn and avocado)
Can I even claim they are street tacos if they were made and eaten at home? 🤔

Demi-baguettes, cranberry walnut bread, Soup 😍 and meatball subs on the Demi-baguettes with salad. I did not take an after picture of the meatball sub dinner but failed to eat most of the salad and only most of the sub.

i think so long as there is no cheese it's considered a street taco!
(but i also think there's supposed to be cilantro in it??)
regardless...looks yummy!

Egg salad! It’s been awhile since I’ve had it.

1/2 a cheese quesadilla and an espresso martini beforehand,
411 calories. Ate/drank it all!

Okay, we can be still be friends but only because you like gazpacho. 🤣
I’m sort of that way with strawberries. Fresh strawberries yum including on a Victoria sponge or in fruit salad but strawberry flavoured things like yoghurt, ice cream, milk shakes, cheesecake, jam, etc. nope can’t do it. Even if they have chunks of strawberry in it it’s still no. Blah!

Oh yup. Same. I second that!!
I agree w MS.sss

i dunno!?!
other than bolognese (which really is only second best to white cream sauces!) and the THIN layer of Tomato sauce on pizzas, i find warm tomato preparations gag-ish lol.
i too love me a nice bowl of Soup, but i lean towards clear-ish broths/consommés/stocks. i also love cream Soups but im lactose-intolerant so i dont eat as much as i would like to, ha!
i can enjoy a nice bowl of gazpacho though!
so we can still be friends!! 😂😂
p.s. further to my tomato quirk, i prefer my salsa on the side when eating nachos, cuz salsa on TOP of nachos get warm 🤢. same goes for tomato slices on burgers, diced tomatoes in tacos, etc....

Mr. made minestrone for lunch which i really do not enjoy eating (i am NOT a fan of tomato-based soups) so i ate this lovely bowl of popcorn and chips instead 😂 Don't judge me!
160 cals for a little more that 1 cup of popped microwave popcorn and 11 pringles chips. Ate it all.

Nut-based camembert, vegan croissant and mixed fruit.
