Food Before and After Photos

All these meals look amazing. I eat the most generic boring things at this point it's not even worth taking and posting pics of it. I mainly eat eggs or chicken breast.

So this might be a stupid question, but does everyone save leftovers for subsequent meals or is there a lot of food being thrown out? Seems very wasteful if you're not eating everything prepared.

With meat I'll usually make a portion that will last a few days. At meal time I'll take 1 to 2oz and eat that.

Honestly I’m still trying to figure out left over situation. I throw a lot more food out then I used to. That’s even with multi days of left overs... Especially fruits and veggies because I keep wanting to eat a lot of these or think I’m going to freeze em to do something with later.

I freeze and share foods. I only eat certain fruits and vegetables anyway but they tend to freeze well (even in recipes) and I give away meals to friends too. I'm always sharing meals.

Thanks all, I guess I'll learn what I can do once I go through this myself and adjust accordingly. My plan is to eat the same things I feed the rest of my family so I just take a little at a time.

No offense, it reminds me of the fake vomit you could buy at a joke store back in the day...

Drool. I heart me some PF Changs. Lettuce Wraps and Dan Dan Noodles used to be my absolute faves!!!

The chicken Lettuce wraps aren't a bad choice nutritionally. It's 660 calories, but the serving is pretty huge, 38 g of Protein. And it's great for leftovers. Not that I could take the leftovers ... sigh ....

Most of my pics are meals out, without the ability to take home leftovers.

At home I generally only serve myself what I know I can eat.

If I'm eating out near home, then I usually order leftover friendly food, and take it home. There is still usually a lot of waste though because you can only eat so many meals of the same leftover until you just want to throw it out.

Makes sense, I would imagine you can get sick of the same thing so many meals in a row. Thanks

My heart hurts. How dare you make fun of my glorious scrambled eggs. I worked for minutes on those and they tasted just as boring as every other scrambled egg meal I've made. ;)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
