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

I ate a bit of the chicken and beans. I didn't eat much. But, yes, I was all in on the quacamolie. I dug the chicken out and fed the rest to my dog. ??

My restriction is tight.

Grass fed beef enchiladas with salsa verde, egg and avocado.

One of the best things about my vsg is no guilt in not eating broccoli or asparagus stems anymore...I only make room for the best part now?

Today's first meal:

Iceberg lettuce, jalapeño, grilled peppers, feta cheese, cucumber, garlic roasted peanuts, grilled mahi mahi

284 cals -- 32g protein -- 10.7g net carbs --12.5g fat

...will be eating the leftovers in a couple hours...

I need to start taking pics again. Thank you all for the new ideas!

Please do! And Share!!!

Pink & Butter Bean Sweet Potato Stew with Cottage Cheese

So savory and good ?

So these aren't actually before and afters, since they are meal prep for my bf. But I'm posting anyway cause they're a lot more bariatric friendly then what I generally eat. These are larger servings though. Even 18 months post op I could eat about 1/4 of these.

Poached Chicken Thighs, Thai Eggplant, Zucchini, Cauliflower Rice ($3.25/serving)

Edamame Pasta Salad with Tuna & Veggies ($5.50/serving)

Lunch at TGI FRIDAYS. This was their $7 lunch deal with a LUNCH-sized cobb salad. It was huge. I felt no guilt whatsoever in eating all the goodies off the top and leaving the lettuce behind.
