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

Food from the past few days and weekend:

* Veggie and Turkey hot dog omelette w/ keto toast (finally got my hands on some!)

* More Pho

*Chocolate chia seed pudding

*Oven roasted chicken, salad and mashed potatoes

*Steak, Mac and cheese, and sautéed mushrooms and onions (This was a fail. Went out to Longhorns for the first time since surgery, took two bites of steak and was full. Went home to eat the rest and threw it up. I didn’t even bother with the Mac and cheese, my bf ate that)

*Ole extreme wellness Turkey and fat free cheese wrap (Thank you @GreenTealael for the recommendation and @ms.sss for helping me find them!)

* 1/2 of a grilled chicken blt sandwich on keto bread

Side note: I obviously did not finish each plate. I usually over serve myself, take a couple bites, and give it to my bf or save it to eat the next day. I tend to have a lot of leftovers ?

First, how is is this Pho pic looking even more delicious than the first time you posted it?!?!?!

Second, glad you got your hands on those wraps. I will continue to sulk in my Canadian Corner over the lack of access to cool grocery items.

Third: I've never thought of getting a home use KBBQ !! What a fabulous idea. I have been in the market for a Japanese yakatori grill for years...after we went to a party once and our friends had the cutest little tabletop grill to cook for us. But I'm not convinced its the best to have charcoal burning indoors... Lemme know what KBBQ grill you end up with!

So many amazing looking recipes ?

Yep, its that same Burrito. ?

Day 3 of working on this sucker and its pretty soggy now and probably unappetizing for most, but whatevs, I need to eat something. At least this is the last of it, and you (and I) don't have to look at at anymore. More Frank's Red Hot and sour cream: same estimated 230 calories.

Ate it all.

TBH, I'm not really hungry, I just seem to be having a wicked salty meat-y craving at the moment, and I'm doing something about it, ha.

27g of beef jerky + the lone slice of bacon leftover from the fam's breakfast this morning that none of them wanted to eat because it was too burnt: 120 calories total.

Plopping in front of the TV to eat it all:

sorry...i think i'm over-posting on this thread today, but I am a little proud of what I made for dinner tonite, and wanna show it off.

So....technically, I didn't eat any of this, other than a bite during cooking to test if the pork was done, but gonna post it anyway, so there!

Didn't get a chance to take a pic of the buns after they were cooked (I wanted to cut into one to show the inside), but the stinkin' fam ate them all before i remembered to. Though they basically looked the same as before they were steamed. Also meant to steam some broccoli and throw together a cucumber salad, but totally forgot #oopsies.

I have no idea what the calorie counts are.

I'm pooped. I need a drink.

Unfortunately, treatment teams are all too often reinforcing that thought. ?

I know! Can you imagine having any other body part repaired/replaced/augmented and being told to never use it again? ?

Left over pork chop with sugar free bbq sauce and slaw. ☺️

Sometimes (sometimes!) the only way to get the fam to eat more vegetables is to batter it and deep fry it.

Tonite's dinner: a sh*tload of Tempura (broccoli, cauliflower, yam and shrimp).

I ate 1 shrimp, 1 cauliflower, & 3 yam ones. Also an espresso martini before hand: 306 calories

Salmon over mashed potatoes w/ carrots, spinach and lemongrass (I did not make this)
