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'll have to look out for that instant thing. There are quite a few a reasonable prices available as it seems.

I just gave mine away!

May I ask why? Bad product?

Pineapple: Some cut up for snack, some for the freezer for later, and the core and rinds to simmer with ginger root for some pineapple tea (yum!)

Used 1/3 cup of the pineapple bits with coconut milk, stevia and ice in the blender for a smoothie. Had I not shared it with the kid, I would have added some rum into it.

The entire glass: 76 calories.

Now I want this!

Late lunch: 4 Beef & Pork meatballs w/ mushroom gravy over shiratake noodles: 225 calories for whole thing.

UNBELIEVABLY filling. Ate about 1/2...will take another crack at it in a couple hours.

Thank you! This "food porn" thread got me through the worst part of the surgery!
The sausage is 3 oz of a 12 oz. sausage, so about 1/4th. I use Butterball turkey kielbasa.

Yes this is definitely a food p*rn thread ?

No, I just don’t cook that way often enough. It’s big and takes up a lot of space.

Dinner at Casa Ssss: potato rösti & smoked salmon, with sour cream and capers.

Passed on the rösti and just had the salmon and toppings: 154 calories. Ate it all! (Still have my leftover meatball shiratake meal in the fridge..it’ll have to wait till tomorrow)

2 oz. Seared Ahi tuna with soy ginger sauce, stir fry veggies and quinoa with kale. It's on a regular size plate because I'm weird and don't like my food touching. Lol I finished the tuna and managed to eat a couple veggies.

27g cheddar + 1/2 fl oz pumpkin seeds + 10g dried cranberries = 191 calories

Ate it all...totally hit the spot. ?

If you are talking “should”-ability, depends on your plan...these differ widely among doctors. If you are talking “could”-ability, well that just depends on individual tolerance.

Saying that, I tolerate deep fried stuff just fine, and come eating times, will eat it if it looks delicious and worth it (or If its deliciousness is verified by the Kid beforehand, lol) .Though I only started eating deep fried stuff after weight loss phase..:as I basically just ate salad and grilled chicken during that time.

Ok. I understand. Newbie. Still on fluids. Had no clue.

First pic, dinner as meant to be served: Grilled Lemongrass pork with cucumbers, pickled veg, white rice & Nuoc Cham sauce & some homemade chicharron made from the skin/rind removed from the pork shoulder.

Skipped the rice (surprise, surprise). 141 calories. Just a few bites of leftovers which i fully intend on finishing later after a bit more digestion, lol.

2oz chicharron: 334 calories (had this before main meal which explains my low consumption of the rest)

Also, a coffee martini (not shown) while I was grilling : 141 calories

616 calories total
