2 years out- What I CAN eat

[Tiffykins 672]

I get a lot of messages from people just getting started, or just getting to normal food, and I remember being there. I remember never believing that I would be able to eat something decent. Well, here's a little nugget for everyone, and for me, seeing what others were eating really helped me wrap my head around all of it.

Everyone wants to know what eating postop equals or they need visuals for reference. Tiff's lunch for today. 5 tortilla chips with salsa, 1fajita w/ 2tbsp of refried Beans, 1tbsp sour cream, 4 small strips of grilled chicken breast meat & lots of sauteed onions!!!

I tear off the majority of the tortilla. 2 years out, I could technically fit more in if I wanted or really ate super slow, but this is my standard lunch portion size. I'm completely satisfied and really love the restriction. Pretty mushy meal when all factors are considered, but here's proof life post vsg is very doable and normal food is possible!

Thank you for sharing. Now if I can just get to solid foods I'll feel much better. And 2 years out....I know I have a chance to eat kinda normal again.

Your the best Tiffykins.

Ahhh thx Tiff. Some of us are visually minded and this helps a lot more then the 4oz servings n blah blah measuring ur food type crap.
