Hi All,

Living in the Southwest, I have eaten tortillas all my life. A bean burrito is as basic as a sandwich to me. Now I am not complaining, just noting, that when I try a piece of one now, post-VSG, it clumps like paste in my throat. It is just funny how much changed in what I can successfully eat. Carbs are a no-no but you got to have a few. Down the road, I hope to use the high-fiber tortillas like Mission's Carb Balance to cook with. But that's not the same as a really yummy flour tortilla:drool5:.

What basic foods have y'all had to give up?

Take Care,

Pennie

How long has it been since your surgery? It may be that you will do better a little further down the road. I know we're supposed to be changing our eating habits along with lifestyle, but some things are just hard to do without completely. I am only 3 1/2 weeks out since my VSG surgery, and it's getting easier every day to each a better variety of food. The protien shakes still feel the best on my stomach, but I have had a few steamed veggies (very soft!) and a little baked fish. I know I'll never be able to eat my favorite meal, a steak, baked potato, salad and rolls at one time again, and I'm fine with that.

Wish you luck with the tortillas!

same as you but now i eat flour tortillas, i know they are not the same but i can't eat the other ones anymore.....i also like corn tortillas, they are really good and low in calories. i have also given up potato chips, i have to get the ones that are baked not fried.
