Honey garlic shrimp with sautéed sugar snap peas and cherry tomatoes. This one surprised me how quickly I filled up. I’ll probably finish the sides later with a little more Protein but this whole plate was only 110 calories?!

Snap and snow peas always fill me up quickly so I try and eat them last. Looks delicious though!

It looks like SO MUCH food on my tiny saucer, perspective is everything.

2.5 oz. New york strip with grilled onions, 1/8 cup cheese noodles made lighter, 3 brussel sprouts.

288 cals!

I already knew while making this salad that I wasn’t going to finish it, so i started with the croutons cuz I figured they would get all soggy if kept them for leftovers.

Which was sort of a mistake cuz I ended up getting full from them and didn’t get to eat very much of the other yummy salad components, duh.

The whole bowl is a whopping 739 calories (im looking at you, cashews, blue cheese & croutons!!)

I’ll end up eating it all by EOD, hopefully…

For my birthday eve dinner I took two Tasmanian friends to a fabulous restaurant that cooks over open fire (yes, more dining out). Thought I’d share these two mouthwatering dishes. Buttermilk waffle with a cheese, raisin & thyme purée - two bites size & I had one. And the most delicious side dish ever - cabbage with lacto Koji (fermented crème fraiche), buttermilk, cashews & dill. The crunchy burnt bits just seem to make everything more yummy. (And the low lightening makes everyone, especially those about to turn a year older, look gorgeous -lol!)

Had some corn i need to use up, so grilled up a few 1/2 cobs and made a raw corn salsa with other random item in the fridge.

Had one of the 1/2 cobs preceded with an espresso martini (not shown). 217 calories for both.

Heres a pic of the salsa and ingredient list…I didn’t have any yet…i’ll stick some on a salad later. The yield was about 2.5-3 cups and comes up to 499 cals is someone were to eat the whole bowl.

I am a month and 3 days out from my sleeve and this is my first post. Breakfast this morning. I don’t think I felt restriction, it just felt like I had enough.

It may take the “feel” of restriction time to kick in. But at least you could tell when you had enough.

I couldn't resist posting this picture I sent my husband yesterday when I made summer rolls for the first time. Long-timers on this thread can probably can spot why I couldn't resist. 😁

Salad! 202 cals for the container.

Shared it with The Kid, estimating i ate a little more than half.

Someone tell me WHY I thought it was a great idea to do Keto for a while?! Keto flu is gonna kill me! The walnut bread is super dense but delicious toasted. 9g net carbs, 17g Protein. 18g fat. Excuse me while I now lie on the couch and regret my life choices to reduce carb intake.

Looks amazing! What a gorgeous presentation, too. So sorry I missed your birthday. Belated Happy Birthday, Ms. A!

Had a tub of soon to expire hummus in my fridge so decided to borrow a recipe from one of the restaurants I’ve been to lately.

Roasted cauliflower with hummus & dukkha but without the fancy drizzle of olive oil. I ended up adding more hummus & dukkha then in this pxt. I ate one piece with a lamb cutlet.

Thank you for the birthday wishes @Sophie7713.
