CME had a pretty good idea (he has lots of them, really). He suggested that I start taking pictures of what I'm eating and posting them. I like the idea for two reasons. First, it will keep me even more accountable for what I'm eating pre-op, but it will also show the contrast in portion and such post-op. I don't have a picture of breakfast since I did the "no-no" and skipped it. I just had coffee. But for "linner" (lunch/dinner) I made gumbo with kielbasa and shrimp. So here is my one "serving" of gumbo...which was a heaping ladle full (the equivalent of just over one cup) and small crescent roll. Plus I had about a cup and half of apple juice.
Oh...and here's a picture of the smaller plates that we bought sitting on top of the larger plates we were using.
I'm sure I won't be doing this for every single meal, but I do want to be able to see the difference...especially in the post-op times when regular foods are reintroduced. We'll see how long I keep this up...but it's a start.
