10 months post op, this really depends on the taco, if we are talking about the alpo they sell at Taco Hell I can do 2 taco supremes with hard shells. Soft shells I'd stick to 1.

I'm 6 months out and am at goal, I could eat most of 1 taco, if I ate it really slowly, and forced myself. I would probably be content with half a one though.

I am 7 weeks out and last week ate at taco bell... wife was craving it and we were in a time crunch. Anyways, I was able to eat the entire insides of a hard taco supreme and 3-4 bites of the shell. I think by 3-4 months out I will have no issues eating 1 entirely... maybe even closer to 2 tacos a year out.

Hmmm well, it depends on the taco but I can say that I can eat about half a standard taco (no rice) from chipotle. Thats the only kind I have tried but I would imagine I could probably do most of a regular taco bell taco.

I weighed a taco from chipotle once and if I remember correctly it was a little over 6 ounces - I did that because I was trying to decide how much of it I should sit down with and try to eat. 3-4oz is my standard serving so half was perfect.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
