Im 9 days post up and Im dying to have some REAL food, I know I cant. But damn I just crave it in my head lol. Anyways be honest when did you guys try Carne Asada tacos for the first time and how did you feel? Also rice I love Rice when did you first try it and how you feel ?? thanks everyone <3

My doc started me on pureed food 1 week post op. I handled them very well and Dr said if I can chew my food literally to mush then a little bit would be ok but not recommended. I would not attempt any meat this early without blending it. I ate scrambled eggs with cheese for the first time yesterday and felt fine but was very full the rest of the day after just 4 small bites. I understand how hard it is i'm going through the same thing. Go off what ths docs instructions are so you don't risk getting a leak. But if you eat rice chew chew chew! Lol

I had a friend who tried mexican food a week post op, and she vomitted for two days straight. Please do not jeopardize your health for food. Follow the rules. Trust me...I know it isn't easy. You will have a lifetime to eat these tacos once your stomach heals. Don't risk it this early. This too shall pass.

I completely agree with Tmyers!

Don't jeopardize your sleeve! It just isn't worth it.

I tried eggs, rice and real potatoes 2 weeks after an worked out great

I'm 3 1/2 months out and I still can't tolerate rice. I first tried it at 7 weeks. I felt awful. I'll probably not try it again until 6 months.

A good portion of sleevers can never handle red meat, especially beef again. So there is a chance of never.

Also, rice is very touchy for people.

I had Carne Asada 2 months out, and waited until 3 for rice, on sushi. I tried tortillas around 2 months and they made me a little uncomfy. I can eat maybe 1/2 a small corn one.

Wait it out. Seriously your options are to suffer with your cravings and head hunger or potentially go to the hospital after harming yourself.

Karen...not until 6 weeks out should you have firm protein (steak-carne asada) and its way too soon now, you should be in your pureed/mushy stage about now. All in good time. It is not like you can eat the way you used to anyway, there is no room in there at this stage and it would be VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. No need to rush it.

I live in Cali.... It's taqueria central and at 5 weeks I ordered ONE carne asada taco. (this made me giggle cause I used to order 5!) I was cleared by my NUT to have beef.

I opened it up and tried to eat just a small bite of meat and NOPE.... Wasn't happening. I had a small bite of meat and it just felt kinda wrong in my belly.... Kind of like a ball rolling around.

I tried again 2 weeks later and it was all good.

Moral of the story is to wait till cleared and proceed with caution!

I had surgery april the 4th and I tolerate beef well. It has to be moist if not it is a nonstarter. For me grilled chicken is much harder than beef. I have only tried small amounts of rice a tablespoon or two and it is ok. Godd luck! I would add that you should wait a bit on the steak and rice maybe 6 weeks or else you will probably be sick.

I was sleeved on 4/4 have not tried rice, Pasta, bread or any carbs like that but have no problems with steak, chicken, pork, burgers really nothing I have eaten had made me sick. I kind of eat a boring diet I guess and there is nothing I miss yet
