lubelu 55 Posted October 14, 2013 Last night for dinner we had borritos with salad tomatoes cheese and corn chips. I took a photo of my plate to see how much I actually ate. I was pretty sure I had piled food on my plate that I knew in wasn't going to eat. Here are before and after photos I ate a bit which I was happy with. But I did scrape off the melted cheese and picked out the potatoes in the meat. Anyone else willing to show their plates? 3 gourmetone, ForkAndMindy and deejay1383837872 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nsquared 232 Posted October 14, 2013 Looks about right. I am 8.5 months out and I could not finish your "before" plate either. 1 deejay1383837872 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gourmetone 394 Posted October 15, 2013 thanks for showing your plate, perfect timing for me. I've been talking all day about not eating enough Protein although I try to get it all in. I'm 7wks out and still struggle with 80 grams I love veggies and miss them trying to get in the protein. When I log my daily intake I'm in such a deficient it worrysome. I enjoy my new found energy and I'm working out more than before which makes the protein issue worse. I hope to figure this out soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lubelu 55 Posted October 15, 2013 That is a full sized dinner plate. I'm 9 weeks out and I was full after eating what I did. Old habits I would have probably eaten twice that first amount with two or three flour tortillas. Plus a bucket more cheese and guacamole. Anyone else willing to share their plates?

Hey there, I'm 4 months out and I , too, have the bad habit of putting way too much on my plate,most of the time. My pics are not that great,as they're taken with my phone but..oh well. Most of the times I really don't eat more than 2.5 ounces of food, if that! But there are times when I can definitely eat more! Depends on what I eat too. Little info on me: weight before surgery 290 pounds. I am 5"10 . I'm 4 months out and I now weight around 220 pounds. This was the first and only time I tried eating fries. Since then I can't tolerate breads, pastas,rices,pataoes ..they fill me up right away and make me feel bloatey These are mainly my lunches over the last 4-6 weeks or so, that is everything I could find in my phone and tablet. Hope this helps . Sent from my iPad using VST 1 gourmetone reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had surgery 10/28 was 247 down 11 lbs I also feel very tired often but overall doing well just cant wait to transition into foods again do over the liquids. First few dsys were toughest wanting burgers or pizza, last few days ive been looking up healthy food recipes though so that's helped to redirect my thoughts and cravings.
