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 was reading the posts in my email thinking .... who's this GreenTealael person, and why did they take Tealael's user name!?!

Hahahahahahaha

I was so happy when I finally found out how I didn't even stop and think how it would look to everyone else ?

And you changed your profile photo, so that really threw me off as well...

A little change is always good ?

chicken salad. Skinless grilled chicken breast, one small one (I often cheat and buy the precooked Trader Joe’s ones), 1 T mayo, 1/2 cup red grapes, about 2 T green onions and 1 T slivered almonds). Before and after and I will eat the rest later.

If you can’t tell,
I still have a lot of restriction still at 5 years out if I’m not eating sliders or drinking my calories (hi Starbucks, waving at you! And I don’t even do anything with sugar!)

I have to have 5-6 small meals in a day to get in everything I need. And that’s also why I still rely on Protein Shakes a lot. I probably could meet my goals without them, but I just don’t want to put in that much effort every single day. So I have a scoop of Protein powder more days than not—in a shake, in my oatmeal, in a mug cake, made into a pancake....

Breakfast

Lazy hazy purple smoothie= 2 tsp hemp seeds 16oz water 1/4c blueberries

30 mins to finish

Lunch

1/4 cup chickpea salad (in mayo and spices) on a rye crisp

No left overs lol

Ate one of these for dinner. Ridiculously yummy.

Zucchini slice on bottom... chicken, tomatoes, onion, spices (like a spicy chicken salsa) on top.

Love seeing all these delicious food and my mouth watering. I am only 6 day post op, how far is everyone from surgery date. Waiting patiently for this day to come so over this liquid stage.

I’m about five years post op. Hang in there, it gets better fast!

I’m just over 7 months. Hang in there- it’ll move quickly and it’s fun figuring out new foods !

19 days out, on mushy foods and I'm right there with you though. I look at all this food and can't wait. Crap thing is I'm having such a hard time eating even mushy food I can't imagine how hard it's going to be with regular food. I start pureed foods on Thursday but can't imagine it's going to be any different than now. I get full in like 2-3 bites and if I eat any more I feel like ****. Hope it gets easier soon.

Taco on egg white “tortilla” yum! I ate the whole thing.

Homemade chicken no-noodle soup. I make it with lots of sautéed onions and mushrooms. Then I add in pasta noodles in my husband and son’s bowls and pour the soup on top and leave them out of mine.
