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

Pimped it up with more raisins, apples, cinnamon and almond butter and divided into two portions. It tastes ok. Will take the leftovers with me to work tomorrow.

I've gone from a standard dinner plate to a ramekin ?

I'm full after a few tsps now. Such a weird feeling.

What is this? Looks interesting ?

It's oats cooked in the microwave with soy milk, chia seeds, raisins, apples and a protein powder. Add cinnamon and almond butter after cooking. I have to say I liked it more without the powder but it was ok.

More "other" food

It has become apparent that I cook entirely different meals for me vs my fam & friends. I kinda swore I wouldn't and everyone would just eat what I ate, but it stopped working that way when no one wanted salad... Again ?

Small potato, sauteed broccoli normandy, pan fried tilapia

My burger on a matzah with salad and beets

P.S. It's always beets ?

I'm 5 weeks post op and except for the potatoes, I can eat that much. (it bothers me that I can, I don't feel any restriction, I'm trying hard to keep calories low but it's hard).

I'm thinking it is a blessing to be full so fast ?

I had a mini bypass.

@MarvelGirl25 I’ve never heard of purple corn, nor have I ever seen it. The most exotic corn I’ve run across are blue corn chips! I would try that drink in a heartbeat but I think I have zero chance at finding purple corn.

I love blue corn chips and tortillas! You kinda have to hunt for it at little hole in the wall stores. Wish I could send you some to try!

Easters meal: Oven roasted chicken, macaroni salad that I served myself then convinced myself not to eat it, and jalapeño poppers that I did eat ?

The large plate is someone's food... I don't eat that much

The burger was mine and it was about 3-4 ozs total

Are you sure that is the amount you can eat already? The fish was 6 oz, vegetables was 2 cups worth..

IMHO that's way too much to be able to eat that early

I'm only on soft food but can only manage 3-4tsps before I get full. Any more and I'm uncomfortable and feel sick.

Food for work tomorrow. Forgot I also have the oats.

Easter Dinner leftovers

Ham, Green Bean Casserole, Potato Casserole, Jalapeno Cheddar Beer Bread
