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

Team lunch at work today, and the client took us to a Chinese Buffet of all places ?.

Wouldn't have thought I had it in me, but I ate almost everything on the plate below (I didn't eat the giant chicken wing in the middle, nor the piece of brown rice sushi at the bottom right, nor the baked grouper which is the white blob under the giant chicken wing). It took me almost 3 hours, but I ate everything else! Worth noting that this is probably the first time in my life I only had 1 plate of food at a buffet. Pre-WLS I would have gone for seconds, thirds, etc...

Sweet & Sour Pork + Sesame Chicken + Mango + Seaweed salad + Steamed mussel + Tamago (rolled omelette) sashimi + Grilled Octopus + Fried Chicken Breast + Peking Duck w/ Hoisen Sauce + Green Beans + Chinese Broccoli

Not Shown in this pic, but I also ate: the insides of a mini cherry tart (didn't eat the pastry shell) + tofu pudding w/ simple Syrup.

I would kill for a restaurant that sold Peking duck near me. There’s this one spot but it’s not a dine in place. Since surgery all I’ve been wanting is duck and dumplings...

the dreams have been starting lol

Just keep in mind- it may not longer taste as good- I had been craving Ginger Snap,cookies- yeah Not Good for me- gerryrigged a recipe to be only marginally terrible- tried one, all I could taste was something that tasted like freshly ground black pepper- none in it- Tomkitten never cared for Ginger ANYTHING so "Hello Trash Can" Goodbye pan- full of Evil & Vile Cookies!

Meal prep for the bf (non bariatric portions)

Omgggg yuck i would have puked. Ill definitely keep this in mind! So far I haven't ran into anything that didn't taste the same. Im scared now lol

For todays lunch I made Portuguese soup, the perfect food for rainy days! It has linguisa, kale, cabbage, potatoes, kidney beans, cannellini beans, elbows, and a few other ingredients. I ate a little less than a cup and avoided the elbows. I believe it was close to 200 calories. I remembered to take an after shot this time

Ok another *sandwich* this time with Sausalito turkey breast which I do like

tons TONS tons of afters (but I put it away & forgot to take a pic ?)

What you can't see under all of the lettuce is cucumbers, cheese and everything bagel spices

Also these puffs are pretty AMAZING not overly cheesy salty etc

Hey. I made a hole. LOL. Steak and cheese salad with mushroom and onion from my favorite quick spot to eat. Will last me two full days for every meal basically. lol.

Oh, and rocking the BP free utensil set. lmao.
