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

Stage 1 diet ( post op) :

Doing the thing like I'm supposed to... Still absolutely no hunger. Even while cooking for others. Haven't even bothered with jello cups or popsicles yet. Still just fluids.

So far yes, no one can hear my stomach churning & I don't feel it either, but I am also not eating. I will wait a few months to give my final views on it to be certain.

My new fave summer treat: (relatively) low-cal/low-sugar Chocolate-Peanut Butter "frozen dessert". I like it because its not sweet...more a dark chocolate flavour vs a milk chocolate, and the peanut butter to chocolate ratio is not too much, just enough to taste.

100 cals per 1/2 cup; 6g protein; 8g NET carbs; 3.5g fat.

I had this after dinner, and as I was pretty low on calories still, I added 1/4 cup of whipped cream (not shown).

Ooooh, your stomach will still churn - take my word on it!

How do you like the Strawberries and Cream? My fave is still Bananas and Cream (especially in coffee and smoothies). But I've wanted to try the strawberry but been afraid!

Reviews please. And how much are you able to get down at a sitting?

SF Popsicles are pretty heavenly tho...could easily pass on the sf jello and sf pudding tho.

I don't like any of the flavors straight except cookies and cream ( but i never drink it straight anyway ?)

No clue how much I'm able to get down in a sitting because im simply always drinking to meet my quota. Im not measuring just completing items. So far I've tried waters, popsicles once, bai, broth twice, PP shakes and teas. Nothing else.

Also I'm even colder than before patiently waiting for this heat wave ?

Is that a Canadian brand?

My fancy new spiralizer came in, and zoodles were accomplished. This thing is SO MUCH better than the crappy handheld one that it replaced. I should have bought it to begin with, it was all of $25. I was being silly. So now, I present to you: Zoodle Perfection with Morningstar Farms Griller Bits, and Black Olives. Topped with a lovely Alfredo sauce. So fancy!

What spiralizer do you own?

I forgot I even had a spiralizer! I'd better get it out haha.

Ah, one of these bigger things. Unfortunately I have very limited space.
