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

Airplane food ....

Halibut on some spinach Pasta (Halibut was delicious! Totally shocking, lol!)

I swear I know this is a Bariatric food forum, not Flyertalk . But when traveling, I rarely eat alone except at the airport or on the plane. Not like I can really take pics at a business dinner. And at home I only serve what I know I can eat, so I have no after pics.

Hahahaha, I like your Mile high foods!

I am not sure why my team is insistant about it. They have been since I was pre-op. I never have been a Breakfast eater. I like to do coffee in the morning with a little premier mixed in. But they also want me to get out of the Protein Shakes.

That's interesting. I definitely would not get along with your team. I'm not a breakfast eater, and generally can't hit my protein goals without a shake, or some kind of protein supplement.

So after all that, you basically ate peas & carrots?

Actually was pretty proud of myself. Had at least a little of everything, EXCEPT the pasta, left that untouched. I should have eaten more of the chicken, but, ugh, chicken bores me.

Protein brownies (for breakfast subscriptions)

1 banana, 1 egg, 3tbsp chia seeds, 1tsp oil of your choice, 100g protein powder of your choice, 4 tbsp cacao powder, 2 tsp baking powder, dash of sugar sub of your choice, pinch of salt, *optional : nuts,1 tsp powdered psyllium husk (fiber)

the key to making this behave like there is flour in it is blending the egg banana water mixture first, then add baking powder to the blender, lastly hand folding the rest of the ingredients in.

10 equal bars = 10 grams of protein (cals may vary depending on individual ingredients used)

(Please no lawsuits for uneven protein distribution ?)

Thanks for the recipe. What size pan did you use? And approximately how long did you bake it?
