Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !

I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc

Can we drink caffeine tea? Some say yes and others say no.

Seems to be a bit controversial. Where I had surgery patients are cleared for coffee and real tea after four weeks are over (finally real coffee again after 28 days). Before that no real coffee, decaffeinated or not, and no tea.

However, this really wasn't about the caffeine but about that the above said beverages can irritate the stomach.

Bourbon chicken, rice and cucumber/tomato salad. The tomatoes were fresh from my neighbor's garden. I was feeling way too ambitious and overloaded my salad plate. I ate all the chicken and most of the rice but only a little of the salad. Hubby took care of the afters

OK, I'll bite - what is that thing in the upper left (after pic) that looks like a very "cellulity" butt?

Canada Day/game day food... 1/2 a grilled smokie (reduced fat and salt) and tomato wedges. Didn't work out too well, but I had to try.

It’s Soðbrauð, similar to a lightly sweet donut

Went to BWWs for dinner...ordered the buffitos with no tortilla. My new fav. Item! Like a mini chopped salad fries were given to friend but I DID eat about 2 oz. Of cheese curds.

I love BWW ❤️❤️. I get the naked tenders and carrot sticks with lots of different dipping sauces. It’s a healthy meal that feels like a treat!

Another day, another Icelandic breakfast ?

Smoked Cod with roasted root veggies & celeriac purée.

It was so delicious that this is one of the few times post surgery I really wished I could keep eating

@sillykitty: did you portion out these meals yourself? or are Icelandic portions just naturally perfectly sized for bariatric folks?? (well, less all that bread from the first pic...)
