I have been able to eat one regular taco at Taco Bell, but I was stuffed to the gills after. Had to make sure I chewed the shell really well. I also can eat half of a Subway Tuna sandwich.

I'm 20 months out and can eat any food I wish, but I choose to go with nutritionally relevant foods.

thank you

I can eat about a taco and a half, authentic Mexican taco.

I'm not a vet by any means as I'm only 3 months post surgery, but i thought you might like this perspective as well. I had a hard shell taco from Taco Bell last week while I was out running errands and ate about 1/2. I might have been able to eat more, but that looked like about 3 ounces, which is what I'm supposed to eat each meal, so I just stopped. Knock on wood...but thus far I've not slimed or thrown up and I want to do everything in my power to keep it that way.

I put the insides of a taco in a bowl and add a couple of tortilla chips broken up. I can eat about 3 to 4 ounces of this. It is mostly protein. If I don't have a couple of chips, I will break up part of a hard taco shell that is about the same amount.
