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

Made zucchini noodle bolognese last night. Mixed the noodles in with the bolognese & added a tin of lentils too. Ended up with what looks like enough for 10 meals ? so froze several single serves. This is supposed to be a one cup ladle full but I heaped it a bit & then couldn't eat it all.

Looks REALLY good. jerk style is spicy right? I’m on the wimpy side when it comes to heat!

It was on the milder side of jerk.

Lunch today- tofu pho with a coffee milk tea and then the leftovers.

Salad for dinner- romaine, mandarin oranges, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, almonds, sesame seeds, fake chicken tenders, and Asian sesame dressing.

What brand of high protein oats do you like best? This looks amazing!

The oats are high protein because I add protein powder to them. The oats are just oats.

smoked salmon cream cheese mousse atop mini potato cakes (omg so good, ate 3 and all the garnish)

AND

roasted beet tartare boats (not nearly as good, ate about half of one..too much "boat" and not enough beet)

AND

1/2 bottle of wine, 2 espresso martinis, 1 vodka soda and a couple sips of some waaaaay-too-sweet lemonade-elderflower cocktail.

You can get them from Amazon and other places in the net. All you need it a tablespoon and you add it to a cup of milk. After 24 hours at room temperature, strain it and reuse the grains over and over. I have had the same grains for many years. I make kefir cheese, kefir drink, whatever I feel like that given day/week. It is fun lol.

@Tomo have you ever made kefir water?

[mention=143904]Tomo[/mention] have you ever made kefir Water?

No, just milk kefir but I've thought about trying it (also thought about trying to make kombucha).

My lovely meals from the past few days! ? Transient ischemic bowel (or that’s what they told me) so I won myself a 3 1/2 day hospital stay with 2 being npo.

I’ll spare you the first meal of blended chicken noodle soup (it was terrible!).

The next meal was “ground beef stroganoff”, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and broccoli with apple crisp (I had the rest with peanut butter and ice cream before bed).

Also, those hospital eggs are DRY and the peanut butter went into my oatmeal.

Soooooo expensive but I couldn't resist...

I have some hospital meals to post as well. They couldn't really do vegan (well, if you like starving it would have been possible I guess) but vegetarian minus the lactose was possible and I felt well fed.
