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

No, just that I'm panicking that I've lost my control mechanism. Kitty and I had a really sweet deal with the super-restrictors!

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack this one. ?

?❤No No No ❤?Hijack away??

?You know how we roll ?

I just thought this may be important info for a lot of people but it's squirreled away where they'll never find it...

But we can totally just keep it here too.

I think my issues are mostly so "squirrelly" that they would just confuse other people. Like being afraid to try solid foods after being on liquids/soups for 9 months. And having to drink with meals, and having an anorexic string bean of a sleeve instead of a banana, etc. You guys already know I'm weird ?

I get that. My super restriction is gone, and now I think it is just a little more than your average sleeve restriction. And that scares me.

Well I don't this that it's really a problem because your goal weights are coming up, only need to maintain pretty soon, and have a lot of exercise in your futures ?

But it is such a reassuring safety net!

I never doubted I would get to goal. But maintaining long term, that is more daunting!

I found out last night that I could eat an entire chicken thigh in one sitting. In October, I was thrilled because I could finally eat a whole leg! Yikes!

Well, Kitty moreso than me. 30 years of marriage does tend to reduce the cardio frequency ?

Hey guys! Dinner tonight, 3oz filet mignon and 1/3 cup of peas. TMI but, before this surgery, I couldn’t eat much steak. I would consider myself lucky if I went to the bathroom once a week. 10 days would be unbearable. After surgery this all changed, so I’m able to enjoy a steak now and then. I’m much better at #2 now, thanks for asking. ? PS. I had my 2 month post op check up and lost 30% of weight... that’s above average at 20%. Woohoo! Probably all that poop-weight. Ok I’m done. Lol
