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

Eggplant lasagna for me (eggplant replaced noodles) and for the eggplant hating hubby, bell peppers stuffed with noodle-less lasagna goop. Ate everything on my plate and it was delicious. Hubby was sooooo happy. ☺️

I ❤️ Eggplant too! Hubby won’t touch it, so I don’t get to eat it that often, as cooking two meals is a pain in my behind. No breading...too much work and save a bit on calories. I just sliced (1/3 inch-ish) and salted it to get rid of extra moisture. I roasted the slices for about 20 minutes before assembly of the “lasagna” so it would be soft in the finished dish. It was so good! The eggplant was soft, but not mushy or watery in the finished product. I can’t wait for lunch today ?

Oh man that was a while ago! I think it was half of the chickpeas smashed half left whole mixed with mayonnaise, salt, pepper, onion & garlic powders, paprika, curry, chives and a squeeze of lemon or lime

Made Korean style beef bowls for dinner tonight. Another picky eater approved meal! Used this recipe. Personally, I could’ve added more gochujang but I wanted kids to be able to feel their mouths. I had about 1/3 cup rice under the stuff on top. There’s probably about 2Tbsp of leftovers in the bowl that I don’t plan on eating.

That looks delicious! I noticed that your bowl shows that it was about a half cup portion. How far our are you from your surgery?

About 4months post VSG to RNY revision and almost a year from my VSG. Rice is definitely a slider food for me so I try to be careful with it. Never thought a bowl with the measurements in it would be handy but here I am. ?

I like that bowl! What do you mean by “slider”?

It means I can eat more of it than I can other things and it’s easy for my body to digest they kind of slide through the digestive system. Other foods I find that are like that for me- multigrain crackers, toast, and sometimes yogurt depending on the kind.

Other people have different ones for them.

Does that mean that you have to be careful with them because they are easier to over eat?

Exactly. And they tend to be higher calories so can go over calorie range quickly.

There’s a lot to learn. Thanks for answering my questions!
