Yep.

Laura- you crack me up!

18 days post op! What can I eat at a Mexican restaurant?

Only way we can answer is if you provide some detail about what your specific does post-op plan allow at this stage

It's full liquid but I start soft foods in 2 days

My favorite post-op Mex food was refried beans...mmmm....

When were folks allowed to eat tacos ( even if its just chicken tacos.....)?

On my plan, I could eat the meat part of the filling (or beans) from a chicken taco when I hit the soft food stage. Not on purees. I can't eat raw veggies (such as the lettuce and tomatoes inside a taco) or carby foods like tortillas until I am out of the soft food phase, which is six months after surgery. But what your surgeon allows may vary drastically.

I am on purees right now. The only thing I can eat in a Mexican restaurant is refried beans.

On the liquid phase of my diet, I would have been SOL and ordering a glass of skim milk.

Even just chicken?!?? Hahaha

Chicken can be tough for some in the beginning..

When you are several months out and cleared for all food you can try these things.

Quite honestly for the first 3 to 4 months you may have a harder time but when you get further out 6 months or so you will be able to eat EVERYTHING!

And that's when the real work starts.

Don't rush yourself, enjoy the time off from being able to eat everything and take advantage of your optimal weight loss window

This is different for everyone. If its not clear in your surgeon's or nutritionist's instructions, ask them. While I'm 3 + months post-op, I'm fairly certain my surgeon wouldn't be thrilled at the idea of my eating tacos. I will say that we are all adults and in charge of our own bodies....I work my sleeve in a way that is best for me and cant say that what I do works for everyone else.

There are lots of sleeve friendly options at a Mexican restaurant. In my opinion, its one of the easier places for me to eat out. Refried Beans, fajitas (no tortilla), the inside of an enchilada or nutrition....they are all fantastic and give me what I need.

On a serious note...breads and flour tortillas sit like an uncomfortable rock in the sleeve. So I still avoid those.

Weird question. Has anyone tried to eat raw oysters on soft foods? Haha

Blech...

I've enjoyed sashimi (raw fish) especially fresh salmon because it breaks down like butter yum!

I'm hungry now!

I would think oysters would be fibrous though..

I wasn't sure! But that makes sense! Thank you!

Sashimi sounds amazing.
