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.

  • Haha... Two bites of your wife's taco....

  • Thanks for the replies guys. I just wanted to note that this isnt a "OMG I cheated" thread or "help me get back on track" post. This is a "I hit my goal of 50lbs lost since surgery in 2 months so I de

    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

Sheesh.. I leave for the day and never guessed this would go so far! I'm very guilty of hijacking threads. ESPECIALLY..when the OP's question has been adequately answered.. A gazillion times.

The saddest thing about it? Is that moregoodtimes is gone now because of it :(

Say what? Why? How? Who?. WTH?

Yes she wrote me this morning... I will miss her she added a lot of insights and encouragement to a LOT of different people... I am 46 deb is a bit older than that (and much wiser) and I think she just was hit hard yesterday and realized she wants to concentrate on the positives...

It's sad and I will miss her here, but will keep in touch via email.

Sweet lord in heaven! Screw the tacos! My husband just came in with TWO packages of Costco muffins!!! :(

I'm in trouble had the biggest fight with the girl child in my house and I WANT to eat everything!

Mike pass me a chalupa!

OMG!! Costco muffins = crack to me! I would never be able to have them in the house.....because they'd be in my mouth. Same way with cake. But I could probably do just fine with a taco, and I bet I could manage a flour shell, too....
I have had a run in or two with tortilla chips it's like regular chips in the sense that when you chew they break down to nothing. So you can eat a lot!! And the meat in Taco Bell?! Not all meat! And they put what a teaspoon in each taco

( just trying to stop mike from jumping off the edge here people)

Look out for the horse meat in those!! It is a known fact!!

I wanna try your muffins too... already had a taste of my wifes taco :P

Dude, maybe distance a little from the Costco muffins, they would give you headaches and make you sick with all the sugar in them. Used to love them myself though, especially the maple brown syrupy frosting one that was always coated with a nice thick layer of liquid frosting goodness on the bottom. But man, one of of those is probably 1000 calories.

Now you guys' date=' I've been already told by a certain little girl here (via Pm) that I'm too flirty and 6 people agree with her and don't like me...

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

Whoa, my mind is so out of control after that comment. :)

Maybe you can bring her AND lessofmeismore back to this site.

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! :(

I left this site weeks ago because of how bitter and mean people were and I really don't want to leave again. I just don't understand how things get so ugly so fast.

However, you are back and that is good to hear. It is sad when people decide to leave because of some silly back and forth. We all need each other in one way or another. Everyone has an opinion that matters and we all share so many common experiences. Let's remember that. There is more positive on this site then negative, and the negative seems to be highly concentrated. There is no reason to let random strangers have such an impact on your day. You are all worth so much more then that!
