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

Carnitas Taco

You win! 1/2 a tortilla and 1 piece of meat?

Last night I tried to do a before and after but forgot the after. Here's the before. I was able to eat it all but it was a very small portion of the ricotta bake.

Lol ... well, like 80% of a tortilla!

I'm such a cheap date these days. I mean, that taco cost $2.50 (which is a lot for a street style taco!) and I'll be eating it for days!

Coworkers keep joking that I'll be such a cheap date now.

Tonight's dinner was a slice of ham filled with cheese with some salsa. I'm using small plates. Just realized it looks like a huge portion but wasn't.

Made the hubby a grilled ham and cheese. First time I've cooked for him since before the pre-op diet. I'm very thankful how supportive he has been. He hasn't been eating in front of me. It's nice to eat together again.

Back to my flexible vegetarian ways y'all. Sometimes you got to do waht feels better...

No after because this is two meals ...

Black bean avocado salad

And the same salad with peanut added

@GreenTealaelwhat is the red on the avocado? A sauce or spice? Looks yummy!

Extra paprika ! It is so good!

The sauce the beans marinated in is at the bottom and I used it like dressing : lime juice, water, tumeric, cayenne pepper, ancho chili powder, onion and garlic powder, tumeric, black pepper, basil, parsley and a dash of hazelnut oil
