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

Yay!!! That seems like a perfect amount that you ate? Were you hungry soon after? Any dumping symptoms? Gosh, I miss watermelon!

Do you not eat watermelon anymore?

So far I've tried a bite of melon and a bite of cantaloupe. So dang scared of the dump! I had one this weekend that lasted like 6 hours--I couldn't get my bg up enough. Lesson learned...carb blockers and RNYs do not go together.

Yes, it felt like a satisfying amount. No dumping (but my dumping is pretty unpredictably random, and thankfully rare). I actually wasn't hungry after, which is surprising cause I'm a hungry hungry hippo these days.

My first thought was, "oh, that sucks, I'm sorry @FluffyChix!"

But then my second thought was .... "Ohhhh ... do carb blockers actually work!?! Give me the details!"

Please make sure you have a glucose meter before doing this. It hits suddenly and when it does, you MUST get sugar into you. Carbs won't help cuz they're being blocked. This only blocks starchy carbs. So I took sugar tablets and small spoons of peanut butter (that has sugar in it) to pull myself out before it went into the 50s from the low 60s. It's been as low as 36 before. (Not from a carb blocker, from an unknown sugar in food that didn't taste sweet.)

Before and After (10 days out from bypass)

We had a taco potluck today at work! I had some shredded chicken, turkey grounds, refried beans, cheese and some hot sauce. No after pic since I ate it all.
