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

ok. first i NEED to see pics to satiate my food porn addiction.

second, the one collateral damage i suffer from wls is my inability to have wine pairings with meals (tasting or regular). if i drink while i eat i wont be able to see thru to the end of the presentation. boo.

....which is why i am often drunk during these types of outings because i always make sure to get my drink on BEFORE the food comes. so brilliant, right?? lolzzzzzz

Ask & you shall receive ?
I can drink during meals, the only exception is beer. Oddly I can have other fizzy drinks though ?‍♀️

thank you!!!! lol.

so of course i studied each picture up close.

the 2nd row, centre plate is the prettiest! what is that whipped/moussey item? i see it present in other plates as well.

bottom row, what is that breakfast-sausage looking thing with what looks like a straw going down the middle of it?

...and most importantly, which one was ur fave??? (before you tapped out lol)

last nights take-out dinner: assorted sushi & sashimi.

415 calories, ate it all.

fun fact: my hands down fave sashimi is saba (mackerel) with an abundance of roe, yummmm! this is the one at the top of the plate with the yellow fish eggs attached. mr. and the kid find this type among the more "challenging" of the sashimis so it always ends up more for me! lol.

and now for todays breakfast/brunch.

The Kid asked me to bake a batch of my (self-proclaimed) fabulous biscuits so whipped up a batch this AM.

1 biscuit with whipped cream and strawberry jam (tray of virgin biscuits in the background)

307 calories, ate it all.

Y'all so fancy, so I just had to share my lame dinner from last night! hahah!

between the two of us, we would have finished that sandwich...i prefer the harder outer crusts of bread than the squishy middle!

Bread still fills me up super fast so I only pulled the "bare" spots off to start which happens to be the crust and outer areas. I was actually surprised I finished that much of the bread, usually I take 1 or 2 bites and then just eat the insides. Or, just skip the bread all together. But sometimes, you just want a sandwich!

PS: I like crusty breads better myself also!

I would like to join club crusty bread.

Coffee, scrambled tofu with red onions and green beans and a raisin bun (thawed and toasted), partly with peanut butter.

What consistency do these biscuits have? Are they crispy? Squishy? Dense or more light on the inside? Enlighten an ignorant European, please. ?

I’m not ms.sss obviously, but I would describe American (southern) biscuits as scones, but much lighter, less dense & fluffy

They look kind of similar as it seems. ?

Cleaning out the freezer, fridge and shelves again: browned mock minced meat, green beans, red onion and mushroom mix out of my freezer, red lentil penne and tomato sauce out of the shelf and the rest of the VeHappy cheese out of the fridge.
