Share pics of what you're eating and how much?!



Recommended Posts

I saw a few YouTube videos and thought it was a fun and helpful idea. If you feel up to it, post a pic showing what and how much you're eating to give everyone an idea of portion size and meal ideas! You can also include how far out you are if you want, and also, check out the YouTube videos! They're informative :)

One of my support group meetings, a former sleever posted her sandwich before/after eating portion -- and this was like two years out -- and it was TINY!

Very helpful to see she could still only eat m-a-y-b-e quarter of HALF of a sandwich. She talked about eating a third of one hard boiled egg post-op and was so full she felt ready to burst.

Honestly, this stuff was really interesting and helpful. I'm a foodie and do the meal prep/grocery shopping for the family and am used to shopping at a wholesale club. My desire to save money by buying in bulk may need to be offset by buying in MUCH smaller quantities for the family (my kids are toddlers so don't eat much, just hubby and I.)

Anyway, yes, please, if others can post pics, it really is helpful to wrap your head around what to expect, say, 3 months out, 6 months out, and a year or two out on maintenance.

      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! 😞
