Question About Starting Solids



Recommended Posts

I don't start solids for a couple of weeks but I've been meal planning and looking up healthy recipes and I was wondering if tortilla wraps are okay to eat. I know to stay clear of breads but are tortilla wraps considered somewhat the same? Is there anyone that has problems with them? Thanks!

I'm a newbie too...actually just had my first fill thursday...so I can't answer for the long term but I can eat them now.

I'm not sure if you are sticking to a low carb diet, if you are you, might want to consider the Ole Extreme Wellness tortillia . there are a few that are high fiber/low carb. with about 70-75 calories/4-8proteins/ and only about 5net carbs!! good stuff.

I found them at kroger and Walmart has a couple flavors as well.

Personally I would stay away from wraps; empty carbs and high calories. Look at the package probably 100-200 cals for one. I use romaine lettuce leaves as a wrap for sandwiches.

That sounds good to me, I'll ask the hubby to see if he can find those. I found a couple of grilled spicy chicken wrap recipes that I would love to make. I love bread so I thought the tortilla wraps might help that craving. Thank you very much for the info!

I don't do low carb. I eat wraps rather than sandwiches. I don't have a problem with tortillas, but I do with soft breads.

Many bandsters cannot eat tortillas, though. I am afraid it will be trial and error for you. :(

I recently discovered those little flat breads - they have while wheat and multi grain etc, great substitute if you're missing bread I think

I'm afraid of the trial and error also lol. I did find a spicy grilled chicken wrap recipe thats only 275 calories for the whole thing, you have to use a whole wheat tortilla but it looks really good. I'm not really a carb watcher but I'll see how everything goes once I can start eating solids. Thank you for the suggestions everyone! :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
