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????

Finally a thread with mexican,puertorican,cuban and all of the nicest hermanis and hermanas!!!thank you all for this thread!! I was sleeved on dec the 13th and i am wondering if having some pozole the pollo kinda spicy would be ok? What do you all think? My sister makes it every year oh and tamales?? Maybe half of one?

Thank you all for your responces in advance....love you all

I'm Mexican and love Mexican food I was sleeved on November 13th I can eat beans really good and refried beans too and caldo de Rez really good but carnitas are too greasy I agree. I'm not suppose to eat rice yet but ate arroz con Leche the other day and it went down fine

I think the pozole would be fine. I ate pozole really early out. If your on a full diet try a tamale. It's really hard to say what can be tolerated as everyone is different.

i am latino too, cubano, my surgery was the 21th, so far so good, gases are the worse ,no pain, feeling good, liquid diet , for two week

Hi, congrats on your surgery.

Are u on a full diet already? I was barely on full liquids going into pureed on day 12...

I would think your stomach would still be very sensitive to the spice food and all the manteca they use making the tamales.

Do not rush into eating heavy laden fat food..

I am almost 4 months out and very careful with what I eat, especially hot spice food.

Remember Protein first...ALWAYS...

Have a very merry Christmas with your loved ones

I am 6 1/2 months out, but at the beginning I did 2 weeks of liquids, 4 weeks of puree, 4 weeks of soft and then regular. Every Dr is different, just follow your Dr's plan. I just want it to say that this has been the best decision that I have ever made in my life, I wish I will have done it sooner. Please send me an email if you have any questions.
