Hi everyone. I noticed that there are group for everyone out there, but not for Hispanics & Latinos.

I feel like food is such a huge part of our culture. Like you go to your aunt's house and the first thing they do is try to feed you LOL!

Are there many of us????

Oh I'm so glad I found this post. I'm Mexican and I had my surgery on the 13th of September. Can't wait to try real food. I've been on full liquids since.day 2.

Hello fellow latinas y latinas!!!! Puerto Rican here 5 weeks out missing our foods big time? So far Rice, Pernil, alcapurrias, rellenos de papa are out! I can't lie I'm missing it but down 31 lbs and loving it!

Looks like I'm the only Cuban lol My mom is Cuban and my dad is black. I'm really dreading not being able to eat spicy food and rice I heard the rice will expand in your stomach and spicy food may come out like flames lol I love adding serranos to everything and I probably will have to cut back on things that add heat for a while.

So am I! My dad is Cuban and my mom is black :-) best of both worlds lol

Dominicana de pura cepa. I just have my sleeve last tuesday. Mami cooks Bandera(red beans,meat,rice and green salad) today. I ate the bean cream with a little of meat sauce. Taste like glory.

Im Venezuelan, 45 days sleeved, Im so happy with my sleeve. I can eat white cheese, arepa heart, white eggs, caraotas soup (blended). Broile platano with cheese. I miss the sweets.

I'm from the Dominican Republic. I miss my rice and beens and of course the mangu with salami!!

What about CORN IN A CUP...with mayo, cheese, butter and Lucus? I use to eat that weekly....

Don't worry you are not alone, my husband is Cuban & Italian and all he wants is his rice and Beans with steak empanizado. So I cook it. He loves bis Cuban sandwiches and who can resist ? Don't know how it will work when I can't eat that anymore...

I'm Colombian married to a Cuban Italian and he is a foodie. Lol. So I will face my challenges as I eat like a worm and his food will smell so good. For some reason Italians and Latina think food equals love... That's why they wanna feed us...

Mexican here and was sleeved a month ago. Still trying things. Aver what happens.
