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

They both look really good!!
I miss yogurt!! One of those since my sleeve that make my stomach hurt.
That looks so good!
And I love black beans!! So I know I’d love that soup!

I saw a recipe on tik tok today and it showed how to make a pizza crust out of canned chicken, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Has anyone actually tried it?

I can still tolerate yogurt stomach wise, but it has started to smell weirdly metallic to me. Any flavor, any brand. I quit eating it and now have cottage cheese instead. ?‍♀️

Sopa de Frijoles Negros (minimalist version ) this is 1 cup and I ate less than half because I added the amount of salt that the recipe called for but it was too salty for me.

Greek yogurt parfait (1 cup of yogurt) with local honey (fighting allergies) crumbled sesame seed brittle and 7 cherries on the bottom.

I might steal your idea though and try the cherries and sesame brittle on my cottage cheese!

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

A weird quinoa bowl- quinoa, salad greens, kimchi, blueberries, cucumbers, and a whole wheat bolillo. Ended up eating less than half the bolillo of which a child claimed the rest of that and the bowl.

Not sure of calories but the cost was $1.65US

Did you make or purchase it because either way that is a bargain!

The bolillo were purchased along with the kimchi and other ingredients but tossed everything together. I like math so breaking down food costs is fun for me. Like the cucumber- a whole English cucumber was $.98 but I only used 1/8 of it so for the amount I used in my bowl was $.12. The bolillos were $1.98 for 6 so $.33 each.

Protein oats this morning! This particular protein powder mixes great with hot/almost boiling water so no worries of clumps. The almond milk listed is for my iced coffee.

Went for a hike/walk with BFF this morning and brought a packed salad to eat afterwards. Good thing, cuz i ate it all!

You’re so good at it. I really hoped (at some point) we would have a cost analysis of the Bariatric lifestyles to show that food waste isn’t that significant and saving money in one area can free it up for other things (and maybe make it more inclusive/budget friendly)
