✨ S I D E B Y S I D E S A T U R D A Y ✨ recently i have got back into posting a lot more food pictures and a lot less comparison pictures - so i thought i would mix it up and post a lil side by side saturday 🔥 genuinely don’t even recognise the person on the left and to think that used to be me is completely alien now! it’s been far from an easy journey, but i am so thankful i did it! 💪🏻 the biggest thank you will always be to @drtamerbaki for giving me such an incredible tool to take back control of my diet! 🖤 #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #vegan #plantbased #veganlife #vsg #vsgjourney #poweredbydrtamer #weighlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #veganvsg #bikinisleeve #veganwls #bodypositivity #bodytransformation #thenandnow #caloriedeficit #vegandiet #weightlossdiary #lostweight #results #veganinstaclub #beforeandafter #vsguk #vsgresults #sidebyside #sidebysidesaturday
🥩 S T E A K N I G H T 🥩 fiiiiinally got round to trying the @juicymarbles filet steaks yesterday and i have some thoughts 💭 firstly, the negatives - it has a more boiled bacon / gammon flavour as opposed to a steak and it also shreds like ham hock or pulled pork instead of being a solid piece of ‘meat’. but that being said it was absolutely delicious. the flavour was so good, and it was super juicy and tender! 🥩😍 so overall, definitely tasty and almost worth the price tag (currently on tesco clubcard price!) buuuut i don’t think i would call it a steak 🌱 it has given me loads of ideas of other dishes that i can use it for tho including pea and ‘ham’ soup and a ‘chicken’ and ‘bacon’ pie which is super exciting! 🐷🌱✨ #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #wlsjourney #veganwls #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #whatveganseat #vsg #veganfood #vsguk #vsgjourney #vsgcommunity #vegantravel #vegan #veganuk #veganweightloss #plantpower #plantpowered #vsgvegan #plantprotein #govegan #juicymarbles #vegansteak #veganmeat #londonvegan #highproteinmeals #highprotein
I’ve found lots of new followers in the past weeks so I thought I’d do a new face-to-face post with a little introduction. And I just want say that each one of you make me really happy. I’m glad you’re here. I waited three years for my wls and the top left photo was taken when I finally had a date for the operation and began my 10-week LRD in Feb 22. I weighed 160 kg. And I was miserable, depressed, burn out and fed up. And sooo ready for change. The top right photo is from June 22, a month after my sleeve operation. I remember feeling great, beautiful and happy. I weighed 137 kg so I was already 23 kg down from my highest weight and lowest point. Bottom left photo was taken a year ago, around 8 months post op. I weighed 114 kg and was about to stall for more than three months but didn’t know it yet. I felt fantastic, like a new person. Bottom right is today, a year after bottom left, and 20 months post op. I weigh 98 kg and haven’t felt this good in decades. I don’t diet, I stopped when I had my vsg. I eat what I like, and often. But the portions are small. And most of the time I crave proper food, some days I have four hot meals and no snacks or treats. Some days I have no hot meals, but not very often. I often fancy ”something nice” but want proper food more, so I decide to have a meal and then a treat for dessert. 9 times out of 10 I’m too full and no longer want the treat. I go to the gym once a week and walk my dog every day. That’s my ”sports”. But I enjoy hoovering now, and taking the rubbish out. In general, I take way more steps every day than I did two years ago. And I don’t have to sit down after every three steps. I like doing things now, and going to places. I have absolutely got my life back. I’m so grateful for the Finnish public heathcare system. The best 100 euro I ever spent (that’s the op and one night in hospital). If you are at the start of you journey, buckle up, it’s a wild ride. And take the pics! You got this 💪. If I can do it, anyone can.
❤️🔥 T R A N S F O R M A T I O N T U E S D A Y ❤️🔥 a quick look back (get it? 😂) at my progress so far! time to use 2024 wisely and tone and sculpt what’s left 💪🏻 #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #vegetarian #plantbased #veganlife #vsg #vsgjourney #poweredbydrtamer #weighlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #veganvsg #bikinisleeve #veganwls #bodypositivity #bodytransformation #thenandnow #caloriedeficit #vegandiet #weightlossdiary #lostweight #results #veganinstaclub #beforeandafter #vsguk #vsgresults #sidebyside #transformationtuesday
When you get a Thai take away and it will serve you six meals 😀
Oh how wonderful it feels to be able use the small plate and only eat the amount I want 😊. We ate with relatives the past two days and while it was lovely to see the people and sit at the dinner table, I only just now realised how stressful it was to pretend to eat ”normal”. My parents still don’t know about my sleeve and I never intend to tell them, and my mother-in-law knows but doesn’t understand my portion size. So i had to move my food around the plate a lot and keep the conversation going. A lot. But today’s lunch of potato, tofu skagen and broccollini was just lovely 💚 I hope you all are having a stress-free Christmas 🎄

What I ate today Haven’t done this in a while so here goes. I’m 18 months post sleeve and not dieting in any way, although I would like to lose quite a bit more weight in the long term. Last couple of months I’ve been stalling at very nearly 60 kg lost since the start of my LRD in Feb 2022. I’m mostly vegan and don’t get enough protein by any normal standards but that’ ok. I don’t normally track my meals but I did today, like I do maybe once a month just to check. Today’s calories are around 1400. So, for breakfast I just had some juice to take my vitamins. Naughty I know 🙈. Lunch was pannbiff of sorts, a beyond burger with a little mashed potato and creamy pepper gravy, plus some salad. This took two sittings to finish. I had a can of coke while watching Love Actually in the afternoon. Had a grilled cheese toastie from last night while cooking my tea. Tea was super spicy tofu and noodle soup, and late evening meal was a pita bread from Lidl. I love them but they are huge, take me forever to eat and don’t make me feel very good so I rarely have them. Throughout the day, I had two glasses of pepsi max and a large cup of black tea. I’m rubbish at drinking and have to make myself drink pepsi max while cooking or before I eat. I can’t make myself drink water, just really don’t like it. This is by no means a model meal plan but my idea is more to show a normal day of eating.
🖤 M O T I V A T I O N M O N D A Y 🖤 been a hot minute since i’ve posted here - looking back it’s over two months! where has the time gone?! 😅 i couldn’t not share this lil comparison tho, taken four years apart in front of the same moe’s sign at Universal in Orlando! 🤩 i recently spent three weeks in florida and nipped to the parks for HHN - which was SO good! 👻 anywaaaaaay, there’s approx 6 stone difference from 2019 - 2023! i’m also over the moon i went to florida for 3 weeks and only gained 1.4lbs when i hopped on the scales last week upon my return! @drtamerbaki really has changed my life with this tool, and i will be eternally grateful 🫶🏻 #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #vegan #plantbased #veganlife #vsg #vsgjourney #poweredbydrtamer #weighlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #veganvsg #bikinisleeve #veganwls #bodypositivity #bodytransformation #thenandnow #caloriedeficit #vegandiet #weightlossdiary #lostweight #results #veganinstaclub #beforeandafter #vsguk #vsgresults #sidebyside #motivationmonday
Simple lunch - rice noodles, tofu, shiitake mushrooms with hoisin & garlic sauce 🤤🤤🤤 #glutenfreeuk #glutenfreevegan #glutenfreeveganuk #rnyuk #rnycommunity #wls #wlsuk #veganrny #rnyvegan #veganwls
Walking into a room and having people look at me and not be automatically embarrassed is an insane feeling. Also ‘slim’ privilege is very much a thing; doors open for me, hellos from strangers, smiles, conversation with servers… something that never happened before. I deserved this before I took up less space so i’m just trying to be grateful that others are catching up 💃🏼😅 #tonicweightlosssurgery #datenight #bodytransformation #wls #weightloss #vsg #veganwls #me #fancydress #skinnyprivilege #selflove
1 year 6 months since surgery ✨ Trying to maintain (not tracking) I definitely don’t do all I can as a bariatric patient and still have a lot of head healing to do but I’ve managed to not go over the one stone regain and I am having fun with clothes. My boyfriend is currently away traveling and I need to use this time alone to gain my confidence back again!! #wls #weightlosstransformation #tonicweightlosssurgery #vsg #veganwls #beforeandafter #weightloss #wlsuk #verticalsleevegastrectomy
Nearly a year and a half post op I think it’s easy to forget to notice the non scale victories but this one has really stood out to me as it made such a big impact on my confidence! Yes my hair is still thin BUT being able to eat more (yes I have put on weight) has meant my body can get strong again! I haven’t done anything to actively help growth so I thought I’d share my progress with anyone who maybe struggling in the first few months with it 💖 #wls #vsg #nonscalevictory #hairregrowth #hairgrowth #veganwls #vsgproblems #vsgcommunity #weightloss
Gluten free and vegan at @wagamama_uk ? There are not a whole lot of choices for vegans in the gluten free menu (two mains) but what I had was delicious 🤤 This is an aubergine koyo bowl with added tofu and padron peppers 🫑 #glutenfreevegan #glutenfreeveganuk #vegancoeliac #vegancoeliacuk #wlsvegan #veganwls #plantbasedbypass #rnyuk #veganrny #rnyvegan #rnyfood #rnycommunity #veganuk
Had breakfast @sacredgroundsvegancafe this morning 🤤🤤🤤 I had sacred Benedict on a gluten free waffle - it was delicious! The vegan ‘egg’ was 👌🏼 #glutenfreeveganfood #glutenfreeveganuk #veganglutenfree #wlsvegan #veganwls #veganrny #rnyvegan #rnyuk #rnycommunity #veganuk

Quick air fryer tofu this afternoon for a tasty protein snack 🤤 2 tbsp tamari, 2 tbsp mirin, 1/2 tbsp liquid smoke, 1 tsp Chinese 5 spice, 1/2 tsp sesame oil & 1 tbsp cornflour.

Today’s #glutenfree and #vegan lunch 🥗 I’m still finding this all pretty challenging- not because I’m not finding enough to eat, but hitting those protein goals 🙈 lots of faux meat contains gluten so off the menu. I’ve been using tofu, tempeh and beans but I get full eating these VERY quickly so even though they’re high in protein I’m still not getting enough. I’ll get there 🤷🏻♀️ #glutenfreevegan #glutenfreeveganuk #vegancoeliac #veganwls #veganrny #rnyuk #rnycommunity #rnyjourney
I’ve been totally off the wagon this past week since I got my diagnosis of coeliac disease 🙈 I’m giving myself a bit of grace to figure out what I can eat now as a gluten free vegan that has had wls surgery - if it sounds complicated, that’s because it is! I’ve found some yummy things that are both vegan & gluten free but struggling to find protein foods. There are beans and tofu/ tempeh - but a lot of faux meat contains gluten 🙈 anyway - here’s a few of the things I’ve eaten this week that have been yummy 👍🏻 #veganwls #veganrny #glutenfreerny #glutenfreewls #glutenfreevegan #coeliacvegan
🖤 M O T I V A T I O N M O N D A Y 🖤 happy monday gang! hope you all had a great weekend 🫶🏻 the picture on the left came up on my timehop yesterday from a whole year ago! coincidentally i was also wearing my @mouserband tee yesterday too so couldn’t resist getting a snap for comparison… i think the results speak for themselves 🤩 @drtamerbaki thank you, once again, for enabling me to be the best version of myself 🩶 #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #vegan #plantbased #veganlife #vsg #vsgjourney #poweredbydrtamer #weighlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #veganvsg #bikinisleeve #veganwls #bodypositivity #bodytransformation #thenandnow #caloriedeficit #vegandiet #weightlossdiary #lostweight #results #veganinstaclub #beforeandafter #vsguk #vsgresults #sidebyside #motivationmonday
Tried these @aldiuk #vegan peri peri fillets for lunch today with some salad. They were ok, not the best flavour but really high in protein - over 40g for both and 440 cals which is about right for lunch for me personally. #veganuk #veganfoodshare #veganrny #rnyvegan #vegangastricbypass #gastricbypassvegan #veganwls #veganwlspatient #veganweightloss #plantbasedbypass #rnyfood #rnyuk #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #wlstransformation #whatveganseat #wlsuk #govegan #plantpowered #rnyjourney #rnycommunity #veganinstaclub #sidebyside #bodytransformation #govegan
Today’s lunch - Mexican pinto beans with lime rice and a mini soft taco shell. A tsp if @oatly crème too 🤤🤤🤤 (this is a side plate for reference) all cooked in my @instantpotuk and super easy #vegan #veganuk #veganfoodshare #veganrny #rnyvegan #vegangastricbypass #gastricbypassvegan #veganwls #veganwlspatient #veganweightloss #plantbasedbypass #rnyfood #rnyuk #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #wlstransformation #whatveganseat #wlsuk #govegan #plantpowered #rnyjourney #rnycommunity #veganinstaclub #sidebyside #bodytransformation #govegan #rnycommunity

Jerk bean soup for lunch today 🫘 I’ve starting trying to be a bit more prepared to make cooking easier so cooked a bunch of dried beans and soya chunks in my instant pot and frozen them into portions to cook with. Today I added spinach, peppers, onions, garlic, ginger, coconut milk, jerk seasoning, thyme and all purpose seasoning. I mostly use @tropicalsunfoods seasonings as I think they’re the best between them and Dunns River 🤷🏻♀️ #vegan #veganuk #veganfoodshare #veganrny #rnyvegan #vegangastricbypass #gastricbypassvegan #veganwls #veganwlspatient #veganweightloss #plantbasedbypass #rnyfood #rnyuk #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #wlstransformation #whatveganseat #wlsuk #govegan #plantpowered #rnyjourney #rnycommunity #veganinstaclub #sidebyside #bodytransformation #govegan

I’m working my way through a bunch of old family recipes sent to me from Florida and veganising them. Today it’s gumbo - I’ve used @vbitesfoods chorizo, seitan and beans in place of the meat and meat free chicken oxo cubes instead of real chicken stock. It’s honestly 👌🏼 #vegan #veganuk #veganfoodshare #veganrny #rnyvegan #vegangastricbypass #gastricbypassvegan #veganwls #veganwlspatient #veganweightloss #plantbasedbypass #rnyfood #rnyuk #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #wlstransformation #whatveganseat #wlsuk #govegan #plantpowered #rnyjourney #rnycommunity #veganinstaclub #sidebyside #bodytransformation #govegan
Another edition of where do I get my protein - these soya chunks from @wholefoodearth are 👌🏼 (I also really like their tvp). Cooked in an instant pot they really are not difficult to prepare as you can skip the soaking and squeezing step to prepare- just pop it in dry to your recipe. They have 50g protein per 100g 💪🏼 I made a delicious Indian curry with them today (and added some red lentils). #vegan #veganuk #veganfoodshare #veganrny #rnyvegan #vegangastricbypass #gastricbypassvegan #veganwls #veganwlspatient #veganweightloss #plantbasedbypass #rnyfood #rnyuk #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #wlstransformation #whatveganseat #wlsuk #govegan #plantpowered #rnyjourney #rnycommunity #veganinstaclub #sidebyside #bodytransformation #govegan
Spaghetti night!! I mixed 3 yellow squash, 2 large zucchini, a yellow onion, a ton of mushrooms, TVP, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes into a baking pan. I layered some vegan bread crumbs and nutritional yeast and baked it at 425° for 45 minutes. Once the veggies were cooked, I served it over thin spaghetti, my favorite! Meals do not have to include meat or dairy to be delicious or satisfying! You do NOT have to follow the protein obsessed bariatric surgeons after surgery! Why give up your cardiovascular health just for weight loss?? What good is being thin when you are destroying your heart? I'm choosing to regain my health. Weight loss is great, but it comes second to my health - especially my heart! Any amounts of animal products, and my Atypical Costochondritis flares up horribly. Even if for no other reason than that, I would still choose to be vegan. Costochondritis has wrecked my life in so many ways. This is one thing I can control. #plantsheal #healingwithplants #vegan #veganeats #veganfood #veganwls #wlsfood #wlsvegan #wlsveganeats #wls #bariatricveganmealideas #bariatricvegan #bariatricsurgery #bariatricbypasssurgery #rny #rnyvegan #costochondritis #costochondritisawareness #costochondritissucks #potssyndrome #chronicillness #chronicpain

Lunch! White rice, carrots 🥕, cauliflower, peas, corn 🌽, mushrooms 🍄, bell peppers 🌶, onions 🌰, green beans, salt & pepper, and nutritional yeast! Weight loss is still happening, and I've increased my exercise a bit lately. I've been able to control my atypical costochondritis fantastically through dietary changes and have only taken 1 Tramadol in all of last month! I've been able to start lap swimming again, which I haven't done since high school. It feels AMAZING to be back in the pools! 🏊♀️ I'm also trying to start being more strict on eating plant based and not so much of the vegan processed foods. So far, I'm seeing a drastic difference in how I feel with my energy and mood. Happy Friday, everyone! Enjoy this beautiful summer day! ☀️ #wls #wlsvegan #wlsveganeats #vegan #veganwls #veganfood #plantsheal #plantbased #bariatricsurgery #bariatricbypasssurgery #rnygastricbypass #rnyvegan #bariatricveganmealideas #bariatricvegan #5050plate #mcdougalldiet #starchbased #healingwithplants #costochondritis
I’ve had quite a few people message me ask ask about which vitamins I use recently. It’s not that easy to find a good bariatric specific one that’s also vegan, but I use these @naturelosupplements bariatric multivitamins and really rate them 👌🏼 I also take a prescription calcium/ vitamin D chew and iron tablets. My wls surgeon was happy for me to use these 💪🏼 if you’d like to give them a go use ‘CHERRY69246’ for 10% off #bariatricvitamins #veganbariatricvitamins #veganrny #rnyvegan #veganwls #wlsvegan
⚓️ W E I G H D A Y - J U N E ⚓️ and there it is - my first gain in almost a year, and the first gain i’ve had since surgery! 🥺 i can’t lie, i am super disappointed - the last couple of months i’ve noticed old pre-surgery habits slowing sneaking back in… snacking on crisps and biscuits, not hitting protein goals, trying to eat more than i can. it’s not good at all, but i’m hoping that this was the kick i needed to focus again on getting to my 6 stone weightloss goal 🎯 slider foods are the nemesis - i can’t eat more than a few mouthfuls of an actual meal but i can smash back crisps and biscuits like there’s no tomorrow 😅 anyone got any hints or tips for me to snap outta this? 🙏🏻 #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #vegan #plantbased #veganlife #vsg #vsgjourney #poweredbydrtamer #weighlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #veganvsg #bikinisleeve #veganwls #bodypositivity #bodytransformation #thenandnow #caloriedeficit #vegandiet #weightlossdiary #weighday #weightdayresults #lostweight #results #scales #veganinstaclub #weighinday #monthlyweighin

Lunch: doner vebab and soup! 🔥🌱 finally got to pay a visit to @theglasveganglasgow last week, after many glasgow trips without a chance! 😍 we decided to share a doner vebab, and added a side of soup to accompany it because whatever the weather, soup is a VSG fave! ✨ they were out of wraps for the vebab so put it into a beautifully soft and pillowy ciabatta and served it with tortilla chips and salad and it was delish! 🔥🤩 #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #wlsjourney #veganwls #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #whatveganseat #vsg #veganfood #vsguk #vsgjourney #vsgcommunity #vegantravel #vegan #veganuk #veganweightloss #plantpower #plantpowered #vsgvegan #scottishvegan #plantprotein #govegan #scotland #scottishfood #veganscotland #glasgow #glasgowvegan

✨Michael’s Wok Inn, Blackpool✨ Pan-Asian Street Food We ordered: ✌️ Bao Bao Buns (incredibly light and fluffy; the BBQ sauce was to die for) 🔥Tempura Vegetables (incredible - cucumber(?), Chinese cabbage(?), and sweet potato(?) these were heavenly) ✨Pumpkin & Carrot Cake (soft and delicious outer filled with carrot, coriander, nuts, and sesame seeds - imagine a sweet peanut satay baklava and you’re almost there 🤤) 👀 Bang Bang Cauliflower (heaven) 🩵 Sweet Potato, Seaweed, and Veggie Dumpling Ramen (we split this - it was so light, so beautifully balanced, and one of the best ramens we have ever had!) Vegans and non-vegans of the Fylde Coast, you gotta check this place out! They’re on the @happycow app and have a good selection of vegan options!
Lunch: beef nam nam salad! 🥗🌶️✨ travelled from gothenburg to jonkoping yesterday for work at the huge dreamhack convention con, and by the time i got there i was SO hungry! 😅‼️ around the corner from the hotel was this @holygreens store and i am so glad i went in - it was delicious! 😍 this salad comprised of vegan minced beef, rice noods, pickled red onion, broccoli, slaw, cucumber, bean sprouts and crushed peanuts on a bed of fresh crispy mixed leaves and drizzled with a habanero-like dressing 🤤🔥🌶️ hopefully i’ll have time this trip to go back and try another salad too! 🖤 #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #wlsjourney #veganwls #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #whatveganseat #vsg #veganfood #vsguk #vsgjourney #vsgcommunity #vegantravel #vegan #veganuk #veganweightloss #plantpower #plantpowered #vsgvegan #swedenvegan #plantprotein #govegan #jönköping #holygreens #jonkoping #vegansk #vegansalad

Today I made the chickpea tikka masala from @plantpurechef ‘s comfort food cookbook 👌 it’s honestly so good - not really what I would think of as being English type tikka but delicious all the same. I added some extra mushrooms and spinach too 🥬 the recipe makes about 6 portions for me and comes in at 265 calories per portion and about 15g protein #vegan #veganuk #plantpurenation #veganrny #rnyvegan #vegangastricbypass #gastricbypassvegan #veganwls #veganwlspatient #veganweightloss #plantbasedbypass #rnyfood #rnyuk #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #whatveganseat #wlsuk #govegan #plantpowered #rnyjourney #rnycommunity #veganinstaclub #sidebyside #bodytransformation #wfpb
‘Eat Loaf’ from the #preventandreverseheartdiseasecookbook - 300 calories and 14g protein per portion (I split the recipe into 5 portions) it is full of fibre and veggies too 🥒🥕🍅 #vegan #veganuk #veganfoodshare #veganrny #rnyvegan #vegangastricbypass #gastricbypassvegan #veganwls #veganwlspatient #veganweightloss #plantbasedbypass #rnyfood #rnyuk #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #wlstransformation #whatveganseat #wlsuk #govegan #plantpowered #rnyjourney #rnycommunity #sidebyside #bodytransformation

There is literally no way of taking a better looking photo of this quiche 😩 it’s a @crackd_it quiche Lorraine with @this.uk ‘bacon’. I had such high hopes for this (and it’s a perfect portion size for me) but for the fat/ calories it’s just not doing it for me. I found it pretty tasteless apart from the ‘bacon’, but tbh when I buy the scrambled ‘egg’ mix I always add black salt and nooch to give it more flavour. #vegan #veganuk #veganfoodshare #veganrny #rnyvegan #vegangastricbypass #gastricbypassvegan #veganwls #veganwlspatient #veganweightloss #plantbasedbypass #rnyfood #rnyuk #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #wlstransformation #whatveganseat #wlsuk #govegan #plantpowered #rnyjourney #rnycommunity #veganinstaclub #sidebyside #bodytransformation #govegan
