I Wanna See Pictures Of Your Dinner, Plated.



Recommended Posts

I do better with visuals and I just found out my bites were way to big after seeing a veteran bandster show a picture of a fork with a bite on it. No wonder I am having problems.

Show us your dinner! Or b-fast, or lunch or snack....

Remember everyone is different. I could not eat bites as small as those in the picture you are talking about. I find if a bite is too small , it is easier for it to slip down without being properly chewed. i need something that is big enough for me to get my teeth into.

This is a typical Breakfast for me. I do not have a fill so my band is empty. I take small bites when I eat, and take my time. As a matter of fact I am eating this while I am posting. It allows me time to take breaks inbetween. Don't be frightened by the size, it could be the picture everything is 'small' size, including the plate.

I even tracked all nutrients for my Breakfast for you so you can see how much and what I am eatting:

1 Thomas' Mini Whole Wheat Bagel (toasted)

2 Egg whites

3 tsp. smart balance 'lite' butter with flaxseed

1/8 cup of Fat Free shredded cheese

**Note, I put 1tsp of the lite butter into a 'non stick' pan** 1tsp of lite butter goes on each bagel side. (I measure everything to a tee)

My breakfast total for today:

Calories: 204

Protein: 15.2 grams

Fat: 6.1

Carbs: 23.2

Keep in mind this is MY portion for ME! Everyone is different and can eat differently. If you had a fill, more than likely you would not be able to eat this size, as it may have to be cut in half. It takes me relatively around 30 minutes to eat this.

If your having problems with improper portions, you can go to the baby/toddler aisle and they sell the plastic divided plates based off the new food Pyramid with sections marked for Protein, grain, veggies, fruits.

I just like a visual. I am back on liquids today, because no matter what size, it's not going down (so many jokes so little space). But really.....

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
