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 have been doing me preop diet since October 22nd and it hasn’t been bad. I’m so thankful. Tomorrow morning I start straight liquids to get ready for surgery Thursday morning. I’m hoping tomorrow goes easy as well.

Made tuna patties, ate 3 and I’m so full

You folks here give me hope. I'm 5 days postop VSG and want to eat real food. Seeing your photos let's me know that while I can't have it now, I will be able to have it later. It all looks soooo goooood!

How do you make them?

Red cabbage with sweet & sour sauce and a dash of cinnamon and salt.

Used four eggs and separated the whites from the yolks. Added the yolks to the tuna and seasoned with salt, lemon pepper, parsley, a little garlic powder, and added chopped onions. I then beat the egg whites until they were fluffy and folded them in the tuna mixture. To cook them I just spooned the mixture on a pan with some olive oil spray.

Note: you really don’t have to separate the whites from the yolk but I do this because it makes for a more light airy patty vs a dense one.

Dinner last night was a tuna melt on zero carb bread inspired by all the beautiful sandwiches @GreenTealael makes. My bf ate the other half for me.

I like this recipe! Are you using fresh tuna or this is canned?

Black bean spaghetti, rucola, oyster mushrooms, red onions, cherry tomatoes, tomato sauce and soy cuisine.

Self-made vegan parmesan substitute. Tastes awesome. I'm pleasantly surprised. So much cheaper than the store-bought stuff!

Green beans, two sorts of mushrooms, red onion and mock minced meat in a soy cuisine sauce over black bean spaghetti.

This is a really awesome spice mix:

This looks delicious! Would you mind sharing how you make it?

I used 110 g cashews (the recipe calls for 150 g but I only had 110 g available) but the idea that it might work out fine anyway without having to adapt the rest of the recipe was a good one since I like it heavy on the nooch.

110 g cashews

4 tbs nutritional yeast (different brands have a different taste so you might have to find your favorite first)

0.5 tsp onion powder

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp salt

Throw everything together and swirl through a blender for a few seconds.

There are different recipes out there. Some only call for garlic powder and salt, some for both garlic and onion powder.
