Food Before and After Photos

This yogurt bowl has become a hyper fixation snack for me and the kiddos. My little one and I usually share one 💞

Kefir yogurt, fruit (I do berries, mangoes, pomegranate, whatever I have on hand really), pumpkin seeds, a sprinkle of chia seeds, crushed pecans/walnuts/pistachios, and a drizzle of honey.

@Lilia_90 damn you guys ate very well love this! It's great you can share food with your husband my poor restrictive pouch. It keeps me from wanting to eat out. I also miss those experiences. I eat four or five bites on for this damn restrictive pouch, but I'm grateful. My mouth is watering that good looks good!

I always say that my restriction is the bane of my existence. I eat less than my skinny 6 year old, the variety you see is my insatiable desire to order everything LMAO. I like trying everything but actually very little of everything makes its way into my body haha.

I sometimes think my surgeon unintentionally cut way too much. I could eat 3 bites comfortably before feeling the pressure. And yes that includes dessert and chips. I know exactly what you’re talking about and I sometimes dread eating especially when I’m really hungry because I can anticipate the extreme discomfort and it just puts me off.

same, same. 😞

the amount of money i spend on my food order vs. what i actually eat is kinda embarrassing. its so wasteful i know, but my insatiable desire to order everything on the menu has seriously been out of hand for YEARS and i really need to do something about it. im trying this thing where i put a serious-honest-to-goodness effort to order ½ or what i REALLY want to order. while it's getting LESS ridiculous, i know i still have a long way to go.

wish me luck.

and good luck to y'-all in return ❤️

Decided to have something different for Breakfast today. A bit eclectic I know, but it used up some leftovers. BTW, the toast is from some of my homemade sourdough.

Ha! Absolutely love me a random plate of things that might not 'go' together normally but that we just want to (and CAN) eat at the time!!!

I eat a lot of Soup, especially in the winter. Now that it's warming up, I don't eat nearly as much soup, but we had a cooler day today, so I made Moroccan-Style Chickpea, Carrot, and Spinach Soup. It's topped with some chopped pistachios. I served myself about one cup, but couldn't eat it all:

We also had some toasted Pita slices with Muhammara. This is a shared plate. I only had one slice:

We ate alfresco on the porch to enjoy the nice weather. All In all a nice evening meal. 😊

Massive soup fan too. We had Brocolli and stilton this week because the brocolli was 9 pence a bunch. Next to make will be carrot and coriander because the carrots were the same price. Easter bargains. In summer we love gazpacho, the one with almonds is lush.
