Food Before and After Photos

[Tomo 1,191]

How much food can everyone eat now? Those of you further out? So many delicious food post but I can only enjoy about 1 cup of food at a time. I'm about 5 months out!

Over 3 yrs from revision (gerd) and I can eat about a cup of food comfortably. I always think I can eat the whole steak though but that feeling goes away after a few bites lol. I think Protein will always be like that for me. So it really depends on what I eat.

Either way, it's really fun & liberating to be able to experiment and eat all these delicious foods and focus on quality instead of quantity.

How long did it take you all to tolerate bread? I’m 2.5 months post vsg and really struggle to tolerate most breads and especially wraps

By 6 months out, I feel like I could eat double of I can right after surgery. Nutritionists said that’s because I am working out now. It’s not where near how much I used to be able to eat, but I sometimes feel worried that I could eat so much more now compare to just 3oz. I think I could eat about 6-8 oz if I really want to. I need to eat denser food to feel full. I could drink a full bowl of Soup and still don’t feel full. So I eat a lot of meat.

I work out about 3 hours a week. I think more though. On the days I work out, I do consistently feel that I want to eat more.

Went out to a Michelin star Peruvian place this weekend and here’s what we ordered:

Red snapper ceviche, truffle ponzu, chives served on rice crackers. This was PHENOMENAL.

Tiger prawn gyozas with pea cream and edamame.

Spicy beef fillet (medium) with crispy shallots.

Crispy cauliflower, chipotle mayo, chives and sesame seeds.

Tres Leches (three milk cake), vanilla ice cream and salted dulce de leche. I only had 3 small bites of this as it was too sweet but good albeit.

But over all the food was 10/10!

I’ve been shopping at Trader Joe’s lately and absolutely love their salad. One package of it will give me about 3-4 meals. I like to add chicken, shrimps or beef with it.

28oz rib steak medium rare with twice baked potato and asparagus

shakshouka with grilled flatbread

and yes, these were all MY own orders...except the sashimi, that was shared with my pal... (i would take up pages and pages if i posted all the food my travel companions ordered as well!) needless to say i did not finish any of these dishes by a long shot. but i did taste them all!! (and drank lots too, ha!)

mr. says i have a food ordering problem cuz despite the fact i eat a fraction of what everyone else eats, i still probably order twice as much as them all. sorry, not sorry.

Now for a boring food pxt after those drool worthy food pxts from @ms.sss & @Lilia_90. Made zucchini fritters yesterday. Recipe said serves 2 as a light lunch. I’ll get three meals from the seven I made. Ha! As usual I started with a recipe (actually 2 different recipes this time) and then made up my own out of what was in my fridge and freezer. Peas, corn, chives, a little cumin, garlic & Parmesan with the zucchini. Forgot to add the celery I also had.

I rarely eat new things but when I do, it’s usually desserts 🤣

Y’all over here posting lavish dishes and I’m excited my groceries cost $82US this week. 😂

oh and also the meal plan for this week which we’ve already veered from and made pudding pies and angel food cake. 🤷‍♀️

[Starwarsandcupcakes 2,046]

Meal prep from yesterday (made chorizo pepper bites instead of a frittata) so we’ll probably have leftovers twice this week.

Also including meal prep pictures, dinner last night and my breakfast/lunch (took me 2 meals to finish the tacos)

I find that if I meal prep Breakfast everyone has a better day going forward so that’s been my focus lately.
