Bariatric Eating

[chase67 5]

I'm asking people who are post-op if they could please post before and after pic of their plate of food...before you eat, then when you're finished eating.

If you could also include which surgery you chose and date I would appreciate it. Thank you!

I would like to know on average how much food can be consumed

Oh. My eyes are still way bigger than my tummy. RNY October 3rd. Sometimes I seem to eat more than others but today isn't it. I had 1/2 serving of Cereal high in Protein Breakfast and a bite out of one of those tuna pouches. Trying to drink an 8oz Protein shake. Still have 5oz left

I don't have a picture, but I'm 15 months out and my limit in terms of dense food is about 8 ounces.

I did crave a salad last week and went to Rubio's. They have a nice chopped salad with a light Chipotle dressing and a salsa bar.

Before, I could eat an entire bowl with ease. Last week, I ate 8 bites (maybe).

Here's what it looked like after I ate my fill!

I'll post tonight. I weigh my food before I cook it so I eat everything

Should have taken a picture, but had almost a whole hot wienie with about half the chilli on it. One bite of slaw, because it's slaw and you just have to.

I am stuffed to think before it was nothing to eat a double dog plate,w bun fries and slaw. Washed down with a large soda.

It will have to be tomorrow, I ended up having something different for dinner tonight on the go. Tomorrow I will post my pork chop dinner

[emardee 192]

No pic here either (will try to remember tomorrow) but dinner tonight was nonfat vegetarian refried Beans topped with homemade enchilada sauce and shredded cheddar and a fried egg. I ate the egg and about four bites of the Beans. (I'm four months post bypass.)

The best way I can explain my eating change from the sleeve 6 weeks out is, I grab the white plate now instead of the red plate..My desire to eat a lot isn't there anymore..how my taste buds changed after surgery is still a mystery for me Sometime I have to remind myself to eat because now that my fluids increased I fill even less hungry..Good Luck in your journey

Can i just say i love the idea is this thread. I haven't had money to get a kitchen scale so i have been using the few measuring cups i have and just eyeballing things. Taking my time and trying to feel out cues for when I'm close to full so i can stop. It's still hard almost 3 months out but its coming along. Still having trouble with timing and how fast im eating. How long does it usually take you guys to finish a meal? I try to get it all in by 30 to 40 minutes. I have no real idea how much im actually eating which makes me uncomfortable. Didn't mean to hijack just been really scared with my eating since im eating solids for the most part now. So many questions, i need a wls buddy lol.

This scale is affordable and accurate. I have been using it for 1.5 years.
