BBQ chicken Breast & Brisket - 1 oz each (before)

After - 1 oz left (total)

This was a bit of an experiment. I have been away from a food scale for two weeks, and discovered a lot of slider foods while I was on vacation. I was curious how much restriction I have with solid Protein. Clearly, A LOT, lol. This was one bite past my restriction, so I had a few minutes of nausea, uncomfortable-ness until it all settled.

Try lavash flat bread! It’s really good flat bread and Is only 100 calories and 20 something carbs for the whole sheet and I eat like a 3rd of it post op and feel stuffed😍

Went to lunch with my mom today at Cracker Barrel. I got my favorite meal. Pre-op I would have gotten the dinner size with 3 sides and ate every single bite. Today I got the lunch portion with two sides. I don't order drinks at restaurants anymore either, just Water. No reason to pay 2.50 for something I can only take a few sips of. Anyway, here is my before and after lunch plate. Ill have the rest for dinner.

Okay, so I'm finally on solid foods and here's my before and after:

This was a wasa (sourdough) cracker and two turkey "roll ups", each made of two thin deli slices of turkey and one slice of provolone. Ate half the cracker and one of the roll ups, even though I was starting to feel pretty full after just 2/3 of one roll up.

It changes how I'm going to pack lunches for this week, I think! I had estimated WAY too much food needed for each day...

I LOVE Cracker Barrel. I used to be sad the closest one was hundred of miles from me. But then between WLS and learning of their history of discrimination, I'm grateful for the lack of temptation. But none of that makes their dumplings any less delicious!
