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

French Toast, again (I ate about 75% of this but logged it all)

It’s officially sweater weather so I’m very interested in warm foods again ?. Is anyone still cold all of the time like me?

Yep, my hand is up. Am so glad it’s spring here & so it’s warmer. Thankfully we had a milder winter this year, so I wasn’t as cold as I was last year which was quite horrendous.

Your French toast looks delicious. I used to make it with brioche & cooked mixed berries with vanilla to make a syrupy fruit compote to pour in the top. Soo good!

An old friend of mine who I hadn't seen in many years had RNY two years ago. We reconnected a couple of months ago before I had my own surgery two weeks ago and spent as couple of hours talking about his experience. He went from 355 on his surgery day to 180 and said one of the things that really struck him was that he's very often cold now.

im not as cold as i used to be like those first couple post op years...but no where near as hot/warm as i was pre-op.

i feel like i seem to have the same tolerance for temperature like most of those around me...dare i say "normal"?

Turkey sandwich (ate it all) I’m so glad I found a low carb bread I like.

I'm not normally a sandwich girl, but that looks really good. Since surgery, deli meat has been a total turn off. I may try it again

Some things I’ll eat in waves/on rotation so deli meat only happens once in a while for me. However it was thicker/dryer which was nice because I can’t stand the slippery wiggly stuff.

Same, still clinging to hope almost 6 yrs later ?

Lemon poppyseed ice cream. Before and after (kid size) Soooo very good but still too rich for me. I even stopped before dumping would kick in but I’m one bite over my limit.

Oofda. ?

I, too, am always cold ?

Also, is anyone else eating a ton of cottage cheese (with a variety of toppings) lately?

No but according to our thread bylaws, now we have to ?

I like cottage cheese with fruit but I have never tried it with savory flavors. What’s the best savory combo for a picky novice?
