Food Before and After Photos



Recommended Posts

Been working at coffee shops last couple of days and am finding some real gems for lunch! It's nice to mix it up sometimes instead of just eating my same old routine foods. That being said, I get so nervous when I eat new foods now because I'm not sure what hidden sugar is in there or how it's going to agree with me. I used to be so adventurous! [emoji24] But look where that got me...
This is an amazing kale salad with marinated chickpeas, pistachios, avocado and a yogurt-harissa dressing. It was fantastic!!! Did not take an after photo - I was elbow to elbow in a hipster coffee joint and it was making me self-conscious.
But I ate the majority of the chickpeas, all the avocado and some of the kale. No bread.< br>20190213_121905.thumb.jpg.25e67618e9509667bd89197d53ff42f6.jpg
Ooooh I world totally order that. I wonder what the chickpeas were marinated in.

Doesn't happen often but I *think* I'm giving something up on permanently post surgery... Can you guess what?

Semi gluten free flat breads!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Coconut , Almond and Wheat flours (1:1:1ratio) , xanthum gum, baking powder, stevia, olive oil, water... Pan fired/toasted/fried depending on amount of oil/type of pan used.

I had to use some traditional flour because I need to perfect the measurements/consistency and to roll them

Very happy with results. I could easily see replacing the wheat with unflavored Protein and it working! Testing soon...

Thanks @ummyasmin for the inspiration. I love substitutions!!!

Southern Fried Tofu

Super firm organic tofu, cornstarch, spices, Bragg's liquid aminos, oil.

I had to quickly cook 3 bars before they went bad. These should freeze well.

Two styles:

super crispy and regular.

They taste like fried chicken (but I'm biased I was a vegan before) spices are key here

I can't talk. There has never been a half-full biscuit packet I haven't ravaged.

I think the xanthan gum really helps with consistency!

Thank you! I'm going to try again soon and completely from almond & coconut flour for my sister. She is on a medical administered diet and wants dessert really really badly

I used to make a lot of gluten free single (or near) serving low carb breads and "protein mug/cake". Here's the recipe index. You might like them. They were pretty awesome tasting. Not necessarily the best for weight loss for me personally, but I maintained like a champ with 'em!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
