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

Pretty big, they weigh a ton! The salad would probably be 2-3 meals, and the others 3-4.

Today's first meal of day. Its the first time in 2+ weeks that I had to fix myself my own food. I've been milking the "getting-waited-on" from Mr. since PS. I guess that's over now, LOL

Salad w/ vinaigrette + cucumbers + 1/2 oz almonds + Roasted Brussel Sprouts w/ Bacon (5 oz brussel sprouts + 2 slices bacon + garlic powder)

274 cals - 15g protein + 12g NET carbs + 17g fat

Back to meal prep for the bf for the first time in forever

All non bariatric portions

Sundried Tomato & Mozzarella Stuffed chicken Breast with Grape Tomato Sauce over Protein Pasta with Broccoli & Italian Green Beans

(Can't see the protein pasta, but I thought of you @rs, it does look like worms ?)

Salsa Verde Braised Pork with Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice & Mexican Squash

Cobb Salad

I love making salads like that. Then I eat what I want at lunch and I have the rest for afternoon snack. Well maybe not the honey mustard dressing cuz I'm a miser and that would cost me 130cals. But I would rock the hell out of my WF dressing or Three Zeros dressing.

I love your meal prep posts! Everything always looks so good! I have to try cauliflower rice soon ?

Fed by my uncle again yesterday. No questions this time because he was too busy. We are done with the moving but now we’re unpacking and I can’t cook until I find my pans. I never thought I’d say this but I miss meal planning.

Took one bite of the causa (first pic), gave the rice and most of my grilled potatoes from my grilled steak plate to my bf and dad, ate a couple bites of flan, and had some mazamorra (purple corn “jelly” with dates, and other fruits). This was my only meal for the day.

Yesterday’s meal at Chili’s. Went with the Chicken fajitas. Tossed out the rice, sour cream, and cheese. Leftovers are today and tomorrow’s lunch (if it’s still good)

Also, I took some sips from my bfs Presidente margarita? When did you all start drinking again? And start drinking caffeine? I’ve been craving a cup of regular coffee!

I wanna eat at your uncle's!!!! YUM!

First taste of alcohol was 1 month post-op, lol. Wasn't much though. Started drinking semi-regularly again once in maintenance (7 months po).

Coffee, on the other hand. Was drinking decaf every day for first 1-2 months, then regular ever since. I can't live without coffee. Or salad.

Teriyaki Beef Bowl
Food for days!

I think i'm going to wait longer on the drinking thing but it would be nice to have one on special occasions.

Did you have any side effects when you started drinking regular? My doc said it could be harsh on the stomach.
