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

That omelette looks amazing! So does that bacon/chicken breast! I need to start cooking more. I live on chicken salad and it’s getting boring.

Yes!!! I love leftovers!!

I need to embrace the leftover lol

I just threw away a perfectly good barely meal touched from a week ago

I used to be a big fan of leftovers. Now it just depends on the leftover. I leftover grilled meats, cuz they can be used quickly, with little effort in so many ways! I can't stand leftover eggs now of any kind. LOL.

This is cauliflower paella with chicken breast, venison sausage, and greens. I don't usually make this complex of a meal. It's usually grilled/sauteed meat/seafood + veg + avo/toms, which I find way more filling. Being a member of the "clean plate club" is a dubious and terrifying honor at times. I continually worry about how big my pouch is.

Here was a lunch I made with leftover grilled chicken. I ate 1 entire lettuce cup of these. That is a lunch plate--so much smaller (8in) than a dinner plate. Each cup had 2 1/2oz of protein in each one. I made Mexican crema using Greek Zero Fat Yogurt, some FF Fairlife milk to thin it down and a tiny splash of lime and a pinch of salt. Sorry, no after shots.

Here is yesterday's aftershot of lunch at The Counter. I had a Mediterranean "bowl" which is a turkey burger on a Greek Salad. And I had 1 of the grilled veggie skewers.

I can eat way more salad than a meal with separate dense protein + veggies + avo/tom. I think maybe it's cuz lettuce and cucumbers especially, have more water in them and they become sliderish maybe?

Here's one of my favorite go-to lunches. I boil, peel/de-vein, and freeze shrimp. Then I can use them all sorts of ways. My fave is homemade Greek salad with spiced pumpkin seeds and WF Italian or Balsamic dressing.

I eat the whole thing. It's roughly 1-1/4cups of volume and about 6-7oz on the scale.

So I'm 4 weeks post op and have lost 42lbs since surgery. My biggest problem is eating ...I just can't seem to be able to eat. I made some small shrimps with vegetables and that's all I was able to eat before I start feeling ill.

Your food looks amazing FluffyChix !!

I love 'em! Just put 3 portions of fish tacos (just the insides) in the freezer, and one in the fridge for tonight. I don't know how they'll freeze, but, we'll see . . . (The fish wasn't filet-style, it was all mashed with the veggies, so very soft)

And, of course, with my 3 grown sons at home, if I can't eat it, they will!

The pre/post op food consumption is sooo different right!?!? Crazy.

Lunch yesterday-one of my quick fixes: Boar's Head Lacy Swiss (lite cheese) + BH Blackened Turkey Breast + veggies + dip. I hate wasting calories on bad fats in bottled dressings (one of the few areas I'm a purist about--eating crappy oils, trans fat, and super esterified fats), and hate "wasting cals" on sour cream when I really need a bit of Greek yogurt in my day. So I make my own using Greek Zero Fat Yogurt (plain) and any WF dressing, or spices that approximate the packaged dressings. This was GY + WF Balsamic Vinaigrette + Gran Garlic + Gran Onion + black pepper. YUM! Oh and a splash of Bragg's ACV. It was a "small pouch day" hehe. IKR? (sorry the bowl is messy--didn't feel like turning it into a clean bowl after I mixed it.)

Forgot to take a pic before, but I had less than 1/3 of this serving of ricotta bake before I had to stop.

I’m excited to finally be eating (puréed) foods and able to contribute to this thread, so pardon my not very attractive picture! It was yummy though!

Lunch turkey sandwich,

Turkey, ryvita cracker, greenleaf lettuce, dijon mustard

150 cals 10-12 g protein, 8 g carbs

I ate it all lol, obviously
