I miss Burritos, so bad.
Just cannot have them anymore.
I think it's the carb, protein, fats combo with the beans, meat and cheese. My stomach just gives up, hates me and and puts me in a two hour food coma. Good luck!

Protein shakes almost never give me discomfort, it's just a tough call when choosing it over a real meal. Breakfast on an empty stomach is the when my I'm the most sensitive. A little yogurt, cut fruit with a tiny bit of honey sets me up for the day.
Oddly enough I went to a "raw foods" restaurant. Where the food isn't cooked above 40c? I went in with zero expectations but I ate plenty with no gas, or discomfort. Generally the healthier the foods, the less trouble they give me.

But this is all after ten years post op and I still have to be very mindful.

Get to love boiled eggs as snacks, low fat foods and simple food combinations.
A burrito, or any stacked sandwich with (fats) cheese, beans (carbs), meat (protein), dairy dressing and spice... I might as well stick a shotgun on my mouth!

But I am no longer carrying around two suitcases (100lbs) with every step, which is a good thing.
But that's all the physical, the mental attachment to taste stimulation is a different ballgame. Don't replace it with booze.
Good luck.

If I remember back to the 90's. Doesn't coke give you the urge to have a big poop? That might have not been the smartest idea, in hindsight.
So my advice is to buy better quality coke! (JK!!)

Get one of those "Adult sippy cups" and fill it with cool water, carry it everywhere.
I have a bunch of "contigo" insulated water bottles, I think I got them from costco. You can lock them, they don't leak and you always have fresh water with you.
Sip, sip, sip!
You can no longer chug a nice tall glass of water.
Unless you like it shooting out your nose!!

Yes, walking is soooo important I was roaming the halls of my home like a ghost. The first couple of days I held a pillow to my stomach for a bit of pressure and the past few days I’ve been walking our driveway like a mad woman.lol

Op was three hours? But with the laparoscopic procedure means you are up and walking within a few hours. Good luck.
