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

I get into "current addictions" too. Right now mine is airfried San Francisco style sourdough bread with jalapeno pepper jack cheese. I guess there is something in the real sourdough (probably the fermentation) that my body is craving. Probably more that it's delicious [emoji16]

That sounds wonderful! There's something real nice about having a comfort food while being restricted. I don't take it for granted now

Made wraps out of some stuff I had at home.

For lunch tomorrow:

Dinner tonight:

And because I always overestimate what might fit into a wrap, the stuffing is part of dinner as well:

Excited to finally get to post on this thread. Today is the day I am making my first soft protein meal. I’ve tested the waters with a bite of lobster yesterday and a spoon of ricotta Saturday but have otherwise been on protein shakes and clear liquids since my surgery two weeks ago.

I prepared a ricotta egg white omelette season with a pinch of salt, turmeric, and coriander.

It went down slowly, but successfully and I’m feeling full quickly. There is definitely a significant difference between consuming food vs full liquids.

Readjusting portions will certainly be a learning curve.

about to settle into the couch with Mr. to watch a movie. he has a bowl of dill pickle chips (which i hate, lol) for his movie snacks, and here is mine:

cashews, dates and cheese: 308 calories

planning on eating it all.

Vegan bruschetta w/hummus and cucumber- Before and After.

I made a much larger version for my mostly vegan child to show her it was a very quick meal (5 mins) because she only ever makes either a complicated breakfast or nothing at all (but either way she’s annoyed ?)

BTW I’m eating off of a lid to tupperware because I’m in a stand-off with the child who is supposed to do dishes.

Airfried hamachi kama (yellowtail collar), after rinsing I salted it with Himalayan pink salt. The dip was a citrus, soy sauce, ginger mixture. I thought I was famished but I got full after the first few bites (what a let down). 11:00 am is far too early for me to eat anything. I usually eat about 2 pm. So I gave most of the delicious meat to the cats. They enjoyed it lol. Although I only ate a few bites, I counted the full hamachi calories (165 cal). It's so low in calories anyway. I also ate ounce of steamed rice (37 cal). For snacks today, I will get my veggies and fruits in.

Got some baklava today.

first meal of day (which was the fam's last meal of the day yesterday)

beefsteak, rice and onions. basically ate it all, less a bit that mr. ate.

269 calories.

Too expensive and definitely not gourmet but it was ok:

Soup with seaweed on top:

Hi that looks delicious! what app are you using to write in the nutrition, sorry I’m new ☺️

Mini Pita pizza! 211cals, 22g of protein. Highly recommend the Joseph's brand for the pita. So soft & delicious

Some fruit.

Kind of a wrap made with fermented tofu that's supposed to resemble feta cheese, spinach and zataar spice mix.
