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 could do some serious damage to a package of milk's favorite cookie. It was how I got high, really.

finally got to read this monster of a thread. Jealous of some of your restriction and loving all these meal ideas.

Here is today's lunch ( we had a work event) got the chicken, salad and most of the rice down before my sleeve tapped out.

Chickpea salad...yummy lunch today

This is my first time eating food not prepared at home. I’m 4 ½ weeks post RNY and am eating soft foods and trying one or two new regular foods a day. This was delicious and it went down really well.

It’s 2 street tacos: 1 barbacoa and 1 carnitas; and one side of refried beans.

I broke it down to a more manageable size on a small plate onto which I measured out 1 oz each (by weight) of barbacoa, carnitas and beans.

This took me 20 minutes to eat & I have enough leftovers to last a week!

I am beyond jealous. Wait til you see my post!

Ok, had to travel to the other side of Dallas yesterday afternoon and didn't want to drive home until after the traffic cleared. So, one of my sons and I went out to eat at Chili's. I had the Southwestern Soup and the Cajun Chicken Pasta. (Yes, it's a ton of food, but it was a $10 deal and I knew the leftovers would be well received at home!) Yes, the picture at the bottom (showing both dishes) is the AFTER! But I did eat some actual grilled CHICKEN!

It's very good. I forgot to tell them to leave off the tortilla strips but I didn't eat enough to matter, anyway. It's a bit spicy now that I'm a total spice sissy. #$@% GERD!

Looks delicious, and amazingly similar to my lunch, lol!

Nope! You just stirred the soup and moved the chicken around!

I actually ate until I was worried that I might be sick on the hour and a half ride home. But I stopped before I got too full . . . but just one more bite . . . It's just soooo tempting!
