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

Okay so my before is from when I was on vacation last year (weight then was 260 pounds)
The after is the lunch I’m about to eat-8 weeks post sleeve and about 210 pounds.

You know how everyone was talking about dumping etc.
I haven’t had it but recently I switched flavor yogurt and added pistachios. Really really yummy but Boy oh boy. Yesterday my stomach was so sick and I had to go to the rr like three times.
Ate same yogurt...and now stomach is gurgling like crazy!!!

My dinner half a cup of cream of bacon soup. Ate it all.

It may be the sugar substitute used in the yogurt or the higher fat content of the nuts or the combination

Sorry ?

Ugh and I love the yogurt. I’ve been able to eat the strawberry light and Fit with berries in it and didn’t have gurgling and “other” issues lol
Prob the nuts.
I have slowly weeded out artificial sweeteners from almost everything...exception so far is yogurt. Even w my coffee I use Truvia. It was def and adjustment.
What other yogurt could I eat. Seems like if you go low cal low fat it’s artificial sweetener. If you don’t think it’s full of sugar and fat.

I never use pre-sweetened yogurt. I get the lowest carb Greek yogurt and make my own. Here's a matcha yogurt with strawberries, almonds, and poppy seeds. The taste and texture is way better IMHO than premade--for only 10g net carbs.

Here's my blueberry matcha one:

Try it again ovet the weekend without the nuts or with less of them. Or plain (likely greek-no artificial sweeteners) yogurt with shredded/flaked/powdered coconut and other toppings. Perhaps even a pure coconut extract (like used for baking) mixed into yogurt but ive never tried this...

Yes, I haven’t actually felt hungry since surgery but I needed something warm for dinner. I was surprised I got all of it down but then again it was liquid.

So I tried the coconut yogurt with raspberries (no pistachios). I was fine. Guess it’s the nuts. Weird. Maybe I’ll eat a hand full separately and see what my stomach does. It may be them.

Egg roll wrappers with ground turkey (taco seasoning) and a little cheese cooked in air fryer with no oil

Those look amazing! How big are they?

They are on a small plate and sitting on a standard napkin. So smaller than a standard napkin. 4oz meat, 2oz cheese and then the wrapper would probably be at or less than 1 cup in volume.
