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

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

I love these meals. I use the Wasa Fiber ones that have the highest fiber for the carbs and it tastes vaguely of sesame. So dang good. I also like the GG Brancrisps. YUM!

That's great, I was just scrolling up and down on that pic and read this. Too funny!! Seriously @sillykitty how do you survive on that small amount of food? It all looks delicious, I think I got a bag of nuts on the last plane I was on.

Looks great, are the zoodles home made?

No they were pre-made ones Hyvee sells. I wanted to try them before buying a zoodle maker!

I used to eat the wasa ones pre surgery but these have fewer ingredients so I decided to give it a go, I like them more. They are harder I think...

It's her ham! She re-folded her ham!

I can’t quote on the app but I see one mozzarella ball missing, one bite of cucumber,bite of asparagus! If I were eating that the olives would be gone! I’m 20 days post op and crave olives and pickles all day long!!

@kristy2671 be careful of olives, first time i tried them - 6 weeks out, they came back up! I can eat the ripe ones now at 10 months, but green ones, not so much, pickles were fine - no issues

Thanks @sosewsue61 thank you I’ve been able to eat the black ones and kalamata ones with no trouble I love them but eat them sparingly

Yummy looking food though!

You guys made me literally lol

On the antipasti plate, you guys all missed the artichoke hearts on the right!

I actually only ate the antipasti plate until I was sated, not until I felt my restriction. It just wasn't very good . The gyro plate was HUGE, and I couldn't have made much of a dent in it even pre WLS. The fruit and cheese platter is a good example of my average capacity. The scallops and bread are an example of my capacity with slider foods.

Airport lounge food .... chicken salad, cheese cubes, edamame salad, black bean salad

This I ate until I felt my restriction

I have restriction-envy.

Just sayin'...

I'm not going to deny that I love my restriction. But I need to get my hunger under control for it to be effective. An hour after I ate this, I was hungry again and ate some chili ... ugh! I want my lack of hunger back!
