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

Instead of bread with tuna salad (use to love thickly sliced sandwiches made with various breads - sour dough, rye, Italian, Cuban etc.) I now substitute with tomatoes... I ate under ½ of portion here and will enjoy the rest of it for dinner. Consuming about 1 ½ cups of food at each meal after 2 ½ years post surgery.

That looks really appetizing! Is the tomato hollowed or whole with the salad on top?

This was tonight’s dinner. They are bacon wrapped chicken breasts stuffed with veggies and cheese. I started with half of one and of course couldn’t finish. It was so good though.

Looks delish recipe [emoji4]

My kind of meal! A new place opened up in Boston called Kured-a build your own charcuterie box place! This made several meals for me.

That LOOKS amazing... I love hard salami and cashews with all those variety of cheeses! WOW! Kristie - you can expect us all to join you for lunch soon in Boston...

It's actually a smaller tomato and I carve out some of the center about ½ way using those pieces for a tossed salad later. Chicken salad is pretty good in it, too! Also, two halves of small tomato with melted cheddar, swiss, parma etc. in the broiler browned is yummy with slice of roast beef, chicken thigh, ham protein. BTW, hubby made you a mini strawberry rhubarb pie! ;]

Oh wow, his pies are so beautiful ?

Now I want pie but there is no way I’m using an oven this summer! Let him know I will feast with my eyes

Had this Frozen pizza for dinner tonight. The before was the serving on the back of the box…. What I ate was clearly NOT the serving size. ?

I’m gonna take a nap and then maybe eat the rest before meal prepping while everyone sleeps so I can get back to my night shift schedule.

It’s called simple truth. It’s a natural/organic Kroger brand. But if you can find Amy’s Margherita pizza it’s pretty much the same thing. I think I’ll try and make it at home with some oven roasted cherry tomatoes, creme fraiche basil and mozzarella so shouldn’t be too hard.

Cottage cheese w/peaches and blueberries

Yum! I love cottage cheese with fruit with a tiny sprinkle of cayenne.

It’s been awhile since I’ve tried actual bread and since the kids wanted subs I went with a Reuben on multigrain. 3 bites and 2 small French fries and I’m absolutely full.

I had surgery about six weeks ago, and I seem to have lost my taste for food, so I'm reading this thread with great interest.

Before surgery, I loved to cook and I loved to eat. Now it seems that the only things I really enjoy are cottage cheese with pineapple and sugar free popsicles. On the good side, including the two-week pre-surgery diet I've lost 39 pounds.

I'm the meal-preparer in our house, and my wife comes back tomorrow night after a three week visit with her family. I need to figure out some things that we can both eat, because I don't want to prepare two separate meal plans.

Dinner tonight was a tiny chili cheese omelet. It was pretty tasty. I ate it all, though I would have been smarter to leave a couple bites. 310 calories by my reckoning.

Breakfast from earlier today. It started out as 2 eggs, 6oz sirloin and 2 slices of buttered wheat toast. I almost ate an entire egg and a half slice of toast! I can’t wait to eat more eggs now.

I did end up eating about 2oz of steak for lunch but the texture threw me off so I just ended up throwing the rest away.
