I am getting close to the 2 year mark post bypass. Only family knows about surgery. Due to covid and pre Covid work environment I rarely have meals outside of immediate family. I'm stressed about a year form now still drawing attention with the extremely limited amount I can eat.

Don’t worry about still eating smaller portions. To people who don’t know I had surgery, I just say I’m continuing to eat small portions to maintain my weight & if I ate larger portions, I’d put the weight on again. It seems to satisfy everyone.

I have to snack to get in the calories to maintain my weight. I eat three meals & 4 - 5 Snacks. I feel like I eat all day.

I have been doing me preop diet since October 22nd and it hasn’t been bad. I’m so thankful. Tomorrow morning I start straight liquids to get ready for surgery Thursday morning. I’m hoping tomorrow goes easy as well.

You folks here give me hope. I'm 5 days postop VSG and want to eat real food. Seeing your photos let's me know that while I can't have it now, I will be able to have it later. It all looks soooo goooood!

How do you make them?

So it's me nuking food again. A simple one, but it'll be a keeper.

Red cabbage with sweet & sour sauce and a dash of cinnamon and salt.

Used four eggs and separated the whites from the yolks. Added the yolks to the tuna and seasoned with salt, lemon pepper, parsley, a little garlic powder, and added chopped onions. I then beat the egg whites until they were fluffy and folded them in the tuna mixture. To cook them I just spooned the mixture on a pan with some olive oil spray.

Note: you really don’t have to separate the whites from the yolk but I do this because it makes for a more light airy patty vs a dense one.

dinner last night was a tuna melt on zero carb bread inspired by all the beautiful sandwiches @GreenTealael makes. My bf ate the other half for me.

I like this recipe! Are you using fresh tuna or this is canned?

Self-made vegan parmesan substitute. Tastes awesome. I'm pleasantly surprised. So much cheaper than the store-bought stuff!

Green Beans, two sorts of mushrooms, red onion and mock minced meat in a soy cuisine sauce over black bean spaghetti.
