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

But mike you are welcome to my muffins if I can take a bite out of your wife's taco! :o[/quote']

Laura I think it's your sexy profile pic that brings out the haters, LOL.

I had 1 taco bell taco the other day I'm 3 months out , could've squeezed another one down . Chose not to .. But keep In mind I barely ate at all that day . This is why it's better to eat a bunch of small healthy mesls

I like to take the fatfree refried beans, put on small plate, some extra lean gr sirloin with taco seasoning, low fat mexican cheese, and heat it in microwave. I measure it out so I know how much I have. Then I put some no fat greek yogart, tomatoes, and lettuce and it is like a taco but with no shell. Satisfies my desire for tacos. Can't eat a lot of it. My daughter made some in a larger pan and we would scoop it out with a measure cup, heat it and add out toppings. She'd eat it with Doritos and I'd have it plain. Works well for me!!

those type of tacos can be heavy on the sour cream which makes them ultra soft once chewed up well so no, I don't really raise an eyebrow at that. if it were a good sized steak or something it might be different. Watch out for those slider foods.

Me too! Im almost 10 weeks out and have gotten a chicken soft taco from Del Taco and ate the "guts" but I was full after one. I think I would puke at this point if I ate the tortilla too even if I was allowed.

Agreed I've done the same thing at del taco. Today I did eat 5 pieces of bacon. But that's all I've had all day.
