I am not trying to be rude but why would you want to put that junk (taco bell) back in your body? or calzones they have so much fat!! You went thru so much to do that to your self. Again please dont think I am trying to be mean, I am just being honest.

maybe you can have grilled chicken with green Beans?

tuna in Water, hard boiled eggs? so many options beside fast food.

Instead of taco bell you can do homemade ground turkey tacos? With low fat sour cream and low fat cheese? with lots of lettuce and tomatoes? its an option.

Hey guys remember .. Everything in moderation. Also I have children and they beg for Taco Bell so I totally understand. I think the filling from a taco would be fine. I also made fake pizzas.. I use a flour tortilla and do sauce and cheese and mushrooms and bake and then after slide it off the wrap because I don't eat carbs do to a bad liver. So I eat the melted cheese and mushrooms flavored with sauce and I do fine. We have to find healthy things that fit in our lifestyle. I wouldn't have time somedays to make a turkey taco and truthfully I wouldn't want to.. Lol..

Its an option. I myself dont have time either but I make time to feed my girls home made meals instead of fast food. I am working mother but I find time. And as far as not liking turkey tacos to each their own. I was saying that we all worked too hard to fall into our old patterns. Obviously we didn't make the best food choices before thats why we are here. But its your own personal choice just trying to give alternatives. And as far as eating the inside of the taco and pretty sure its filled with tons of fat and carbs.

my nut and doc say to me to go on here for some help

Um, I'm sorry but that doesn't sound rights their paycheck and success depend on you. To be honest, I've never heard of a medical professional tell someone to seek non professional medical advice. My surgeon gave me a full 12 month diet post op (I'm 6 days out) and it does not include non FDA approved foods filled with preservatives and fillers! Good G** why do you want meat that is not even FDA approved? Can you not make your own tacos, burritos and quesadillas? Remember this is a lifestyle change, not a quick easy way out. Beauty is pain, so no pain no gain!

My kids beg for McDonald's and Burger King prior to surgery and now. Doesn't mean I give them what they want. I'm the mom, the adult and I say what they eat. Currently they are both healthy and slim.

Oh and the meat in taco bells meat is not FDA approved. There was a major lawsuit last year, look it up.

Same here. I am not going to make my kids addicted to fast food like I was. They never even had soda. I want to do whats best for them. I may be chubby but not my kids they eat well and I make a point of it.

Diana you're absolutely right. And one of the first questions the surgeon, nutritionist and psychologist all asked is "do you have enough time to prepare your own meals". It doesn't have to be extravagant. Kids are very appreciative when they are taught to be. I'm certain your babies don't throw a fit cause they didn't get McDonald's today right? Right! :-)

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
