I Wanna See Pictures Of Your Dinner, Plated.



Recommended Posts

I do better with visuals and I just found out my bites were way to big after seeing a veteran bandster show a picture of a fork with a bite on it. No wonder I am having problems.

Show us your dinner! Or b-fast, or lunch or snack....

Remember everyone is different. I could not eat bites as small as those in the picture you are talking about. I find if a bite is too small , it is easier for it to slip down without being properly chewed. i need something that is big enough for me to get my teeth into.

This is a typical Breakfast for me. I do not have a fill so my band is empty. I take small bites when I eat, and take my time. As a matter of fact I am eating this while I am posting. It allows me time to take breaks inbetween. Don't be frightened by the size, it could be the picture everything is 'small' size, including the plate.

I even tracked all nutrients for my Breakfast for you so you can see how much and what I am eatting:

1 Thomas' Mini Whole Wheat Bagel (toasted)

2 Egg whites

3 tsp. smart balance 'lite' butter with flaxseed

1/8 cup of Fat Free shredded cheese

**Note, I put 1tsp of the lite butter into a 'non stick' pan** 1tsp of lite butter goes on each bagel side. (I measure everything to a tee)

My breakfast total for today:

Calories: 204

Protein: 15.2 grams

Fat: 6.1

Carbs: 23.2

Keep in mind this is MY portion for ME! Everyone is different and can eat differently. If you had a fill, more than likely you would not be able to eat this size, as it may have to be cut in half. It takes me relatively around 30 minutes to eat this.

If your having problems with improper portions, you can go to the baby/toddler aisle and they sell the plastic divided plates based off the new food Pyramid with sections marked for Protein, grain, veggies, fruits.

I just like a visual. I am back on liquids today, because no matter what size, it's not going down (so many jokes so little space). But really.....

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
