Amazing what a difference 9 months makes.

I barely look my age now When I lose I look younger and shorter. I'm 51 btw.

That looks good. where do you get the gluten free meatballs?

Here's what I had for supper tonight. Almost ate it all
They are frozen gluten free meatballs (1 serving), 2 tbls of Rao's, 1 tsp of grated Parmesan cheese, plus steamed broccoli.

After...

I always use the dessert plate and dessert fork.

If I had read this 15 mins ago I could have taken a picture of my dinner. It's half eaten now. I actually use this board to help me eat slow. I take a bite, then type a post.

And use small plates, it will make it look like you're getting more food!

At your stage, best thing to do is measure your portions. Never eyeball, or you might find your portions creep up which can slow your losses. 3 Tablespoons at the absolute max for your stage of purees, or up to 4 ounces of more liquidy foods like yogurt or Soup. Hope this helps!

There is a long thread with lots of pictures. I think it's called What I ate for lunch or something similar. Try searching "lunch".

You can find it under "foods after vsg"

Here's a couple I took just a week ago at my favorite Mexican restaurant.
Everything was some form of chicken or pork.
Before

After

But normally Monday - Friday this is my normal meal and portion size ~ about 1 cup of food per meal.
I think this was a mix of turkey hamburger and black Beans.

@@GoGirl2014 I haven't seen any in here..until just now but I know there are some YouTube videos with pictures.

I had surgery 12/22/14 and am now in the pureed stage.
When I first joined this site, I thought I saw some photos someone had posted of their foods/portions on a plate or dish so you could see the variety, the size and what they were eating. Those were interesting to me.
I have looked around but haven't found anything like this. I also did some web searches and couldn't find anything.
Has anyone seen anything like this on this site or another site?
Thank you! :-)

I'm 42 and I am so happy about my choice two years ago. Two years have passed and I'm still a work in progress which actually keeps me motivated to continue. I'm down 125 lbs and want so badly to get what I thought was going to be a Tummy Tuck has turned into a body lift. Oh well it's all worth it. Lose skin is not fun. I need it gone I am a size 8-10 depending on the brand ms I was told with a body lift I would be a 6. Not that clothes size matters in this journey but I don't ever remember being a 6. Lol !!   

Hello everybody, my name is Erica I am 33 years old and had the gastric sleeve procedure on June 23, 2014. My weight pre op was 275.4. I am now 187 pounds! And has only been five months and I have never felt so good. In the beginning it was very tough and I went through a little regret but I can't tell you how happy I am and how happy I am with my results. I am posting a picture down below of the last few months. If you are thinking about doing the procedure and you were unsure let me tell you how it has totally changed my life for the better! I am so happy with the results and how I feel and how my health has improved dramatically! If you all have any questions or concerns I would love to chat with you I will really look forward to seeing everybody's posts and success stories.
Erica
