Weight at 1 MONTH POST surgery 172/78.2 KG 5. Weight at 3 MONTHs POST surgery 148/67.4 KG I am at 5 months post op 131.78/59.9 KG 8. Type of Surgery (Sleeve, ByPass, etc...) Gastric sleeve

Made a fun summer salad Italian salad mix, cucumbers , olives, sliced beets, clementine wedges, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and a whole nice ball of creamy burrata. I feel it needed a sprinkle of roasted almonds. Also I made a yummy dressing of aged balsamic, good EVOO, and lemon but had it without the dressing, I love salad without dressing, anyone like me? I ate some with a side of baked sea-bass.

The naan chips look really good, do you make them or buy them ready made?

Snack: I don’t usually snack but I barely had lunch and was ravenous. A mini slice of multigrain sourdough, smashed avocado, spicy pickled onions, crumbled feta cheese and red pepper flakes. Ate most of it, it’s quite fascinating how much more I can eat when there’s minimal protein in what I’m having. Around 180 calories. Oh and it’s my first time having regular carb loaded bread post op.

I was never a breakfast eater and I've always done Intermittent Fasting and never ate my first meal before 12 PM (mind you I wake up at 5:30 AM). But since my VSG I get really hungry in the mornings, I have an oat milk coffee and wait to eat at 10/10.30 AM. My last meal of the day is at 6 PM so it explains the hunger especially with the tiny portions.

Dinner (and post pilates meal): Crispy maple glazed salmon, garlic green beans, egg fried rice and a steamed seafood gyoza, with ponzu sauce on the side. Ate it all. Around 250 calories.

Just to let you guys know that my stall broke and I lost 1.2 Kgs (2.7 lbs) the past two weeks (not doing anything differently). I am stocked and thank you all for your valuable advise.

Just read this and I want to say good luck on your surgery today! I am sending you love and prayers, hopefully it all goes smoothly and I am positive you will turn everything around and live a great life!

Hello Congrats on your upcoming surgery, hope it goes smoothly. I traveled 3 weeks, 3 months and will be travelling 7 months post surgery. It was all smooth, my first trip was with my hubby and kids, so I would just eat tiny bits of their food, second trip was with hubby only and we would always order a salad/veggie dish and a healthy/ish entree where I would eat a bit of protein and a bit of veggies and my hubby's mission was to clear the rest lol. As to what to pack, I only packed my vitamins and probiotics, if you can pack some high protein snacks like beef jerky, bars ...etc. then do that as I would get hungrier often due to all the walking and would need a snack, but where I traveled the supplement shops were always available so ... Don't stress it, enjoy your time and food. P.S. : If there were leftovers I would always give them out to anyone in need ❤️

This looks so good!!

Dinner: Cheesesteak filling with caramelized onions, mushrooms and light cheese on Boston lettuce. Ate this entire one and 2 broccoli florets (around 150 calories)

Dinner: Baking spicy shrimp pizza for the fam. The base is thin tortilla like topped with pizza sauce, shrimps, bell peppers, green chillies, cherry tomatoes, topped with a mix of cheddar and mozzarella. I will probably crumble some feta on top (I loooove feta). I might have a couple of bites once they’re done baking!

I was very reluctant to post my before and after. I just don’t feel like I’m done yet? I’m 4.5 months post op and reached my initial goal at 3.5 months post op and went down further more so set myself a new goal weight, which I’m very close to, but thought hey, why not celebrate it anyway? I look good, I feel good and I should get to celebrate that. Every single one of you looks absolutely fantastic, way to go lot ♥️

This salad looks insanely good!! I’m obsessed with salads and I’m pretty jealous RN. I will try to recreate a version of it tomorrow! Thanks for the inspo!!
