Was able to eat 2 hard shell tacos today... Is that considered a lot?

Yesterday marked 2 months post op for me... I am down 51lbs since surgery day. I have busted my ass working this weight off since 1 week out. To Celebrate I picked up 2 hard shell supreme tacos from taco bell. I was able to eat 1 within the 5 mins drive home and ate the second one about 10 mins later. I was very surprised I was able to eat that much and feel pretty good afterwards. Literally 1 month ago my wife came home with taco bell, I took 2 bites of my wifes taco and was stuffed.

So is this considered a lot of food for 2 months out. The meal was just shy of 400 calories but I am still under for the day but slightly over my carb limit.

    Since I work at Taco Bell, I feel the need to defend it. We don't put a tablespoon of meat, it's 1.5 ounces! Everything with meat gets 1 scoop, 1.5 oz with a few exceptions like the grilled stuffed bu

Love the new pic fiddleman!

And now I'm sad! I got a lot out of reading comments left by lessofmeismore and moregoodtimes. I guess I don't blame them. But I still will miss both terribly! :(

Thanks MrsG.

Oh and to take it back to the OP... I just had a Doritos Locos Taco (8 weeks out) and it was TASTY.

Oh man, my wife got addicted to those. Be careful as too many of these could add up over the week. It looks like they are 170 cal for 1. Carbs, fat and protein are each around 10 g. Do you like cool ranch or original (cheese) flavor?

I personally would not choose to eat these, but they are not that unwieldy in their nutritional stats.

I had a cool ranch flavor. I couldn't eat them every night but I felt okay after doing it. After the past six weeks I really thought I'd never be normal again.

Laura tell those girls that I'm coming after them! We were like the jaw breaker girls..... I mean like the heathers.... Or I mean the mean girls..... Wait that's not it all steel magnolias! That's it!

I wonder about the pouch size, I'm 2 weeks post sleeve and was sick of liquids today and wanted to chew, I ate 8 Pringles. No problem and that is my problem. Why was I able to do that without any problems?

Pringles are a pretty tasty slider. They take up literally zero space once you have chewed them. However, do not get accustomed to eating sliders. They are going to be your vice post op if you are not careful. Instead, choose solid Proteins that are going to fill you up once you are cleared for solids.

...... Lol uh chips are sliders. And two weeks post up chips be a no no. Go to the search option and type in sliders. Chips won't fill your pouch at all.
