If you consider eating Indian food normal that is

So if you're worrying you won't be able to eat or enjoy your food or be normal? Here's what I made for lunch today. Brown rice for the kids, ground beef curry, cucumber/tomato/Greek yogurt salad, palak paneer (spinach. with a homemade cheese). Apart from the rice, all good for us sleevers to eat.

I sometimes see people thinking they won't enjoy food, or that they can only have baked chicken and steamed vegetables. SO not true. I make Indian, Thai, Ethiopian, Greek etc all the time.

What is true however, is that my two kids (23 and 13) and my husband and I all ate--and we finished about a fourth of the food you see here

Feel free to post pics of what you're enjoying today that is sleeve friendly.

And by "well rounded" I mean knowledgeable and willing to experiment with new flavors. lol

Lol!! Oh I don't know, there are parts of me that are still very round

Great thread. But I'll refrain from posting a photo of my bariatric pudding and/or my Cracker Barrel scrambled eggs from earlier. If I had one of those.

In a few weeks, though…watch out.

Actually I'm curious. What exactly is a bariatric pudding?

I LOVE palak paneer! I make a "healthy" version with tofu instead of paneer--lower in fat.

My husband is from Pakistan so we cook South Asian food a lot. I've been worried about being able to eat Indian/Pakistani food after being sleeved. I suppose if I stay away from the rice and the naan bread I should be OK.

Thanks for posting!

Noor that was Pakistani beef curry I basically took a Nihari recipe and made it with ground beef instead. We don't eat rice and naan. Instead, I sometimes make zucchini "noodles" and put the curry on that. I have cut down on the dal quite a bit though and sometimes I miss my dal-chawal

You look fantastic though. You're doing such a great job.

And when do we see pics of the man that lost 70 lbs in like, five minutes??

Pics soon, within the week. I went from a size 50 pants to a size 42. Isn't that INSANE?!

YES! Even by sleeve standards that's insane. What does your partner think about all of it? Is he being nice?

Well about a week and a half ago I passed him in weight. He said he's a little jealous but has been so supportive of me. So I am really supportive of him. He lets me handle the food and has been eating much less. We share food a lot, especially when we go out.

Redbean where's the picture of your food?

It's not very photogenic but another Indian dish that is sleeve friendly is dal fry. It is the Indian equivalent of refried Beans, I guess. To make it healthier substitute the ghee for oil and just use less. It is basically lentils cooked to mush with sautéed onions, chilies and spices stirred through it.

But yeah. Photos of it look like brown goo.
