Food Before and After Photos

[Cheeseburgh 3,080]

I’m in a food rut so I just ordered a bunch of spices from Penzeys. I specifically logged on to order Curry, however to get free shipping I had to spend $39. After I checked out, I realized I bought everything but curry!

Yay @sillykitty is back! I don’t post much but I check in and read at least every other day.

Once I get my spices hopefully I’ll gave some interesting food to post!

@ms.sss I want a drumstick now!

UGH! Have you ever looked at cookbooks from 1950s - or Web sites that feature 1950s food? (like "regrettable food" https://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/ ). Awful=sounding stuff - like the one you posted!

This link is a hoot! Thanks for sharing. Meow. ;]

Breakfast peaches this morning.

There is some fruit that has to go. So nothing fancy but even the dog thinks it's Yum!

LOVE your dog! Name? Bobby, our wire fox terrier loves green Beans, squash and most fruits. His kitchen antics when a potential snack might be involved. Haha.

In the very first post @GreenTealael laid out the intent of this thread

"Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !

I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc"

If a more narrowly focused thread is of interest to you, they exist or you can create a new one.

I find this thread very helpful in gauging my own personal food consumption as we all evolve learning our new stomach capacity, and lifestyle habits with food. A good check and balances since we will never eat like normals or most around us whom are slender without WLS. After WLS food interaction can be a lonely plight without this invaluable fellowship. Ergo, thank you for pointing out the need for camaraderie and not criticism.

Went out for lunch today and ordered the steak tip salad. Here’s my before and after. I barely touched it at the restaurant because I ended up eating one of my bfs potato skins and I got full quick 😕 I ended up finishing the salad at home, it was my only meal for the day. Plus a pineapple matcha latte with almond milk!

Salad looks delish! BUT I love that pastel mint with colorful sparkles nail polish!!! Manicure via a professional or yourself? Really pretty... ;]

Yeah, it makes me feel extra greedy, lol.

However, the "new normal" seems to be not slender but slightly overweight. Depends on the country though I guess.

This curry corn and butternut squash Soup was to die for. Think the fam might like it, too? But again - it's not beef or BQ! Serve a good steak on the side. Haha.

Before and After lunch Salad:

Romaine, spinach, cucumber, red onion, cheddar, roast chicken, bacon, vinaigrette.

265 calories for the whole thing...I ate about 2/3 of it.

Also an espresso martini beforehand: +141 calories.

All this looks superb!

Though these are just the vegetables in the pan before the vegan ground beef and Tomato sauce is added.

Made air fryer fish tacos in honor of taco Tuesday yesterday. Topped them off with cabbage, pico de gallo, avocado, cotija cheese and a spicy jalapeño cilantro cream. I just ate the inside.
