Taco question

To those who had gastric bypass, do tacos make you dump? I remember someone said they did so I'm scared lol. It's not something I would think of as having sugar in it!

Everyone seems to do well with spicy. I loooove Mexican food but I'm terrified of anything spicy. I guess I should just go for it. Also, cheese enchiladas are amazing and high in protein from the cheese but aren't they also a little greasy and high in fat? I've been so sick with my stricture I'm scared of everything. You all don't have any problems with them though?

I don't like spicy- never have. The enchiladas don't bother me. Yes they are greasy and such but I can't eat more than a couple bites and feel fine after.

I have had no problems at all with spicy. I also have no problems with cheese enchiladas. Yes, they are high in fat, but I can eat so little that I don't think it has affected me. I am 12 weeks postop and am down 50 pounds.

Can I ask you guys something? I've not yet had surgery... I understand that you can only eat a little because the pouch only holds so much, but do you feel hungry? Or do you feel full and "want" more? I'm trying to evaluate my behavior because I frequently overeat past full because I like the food.... For instance, I could eat 3 baskets of chips, then still the meal.... Do you feel satisfied, both physically and mentally?

Sorry if that's a deep question when all you guys were talking about was tacos, but I LOVE tacos! Lol

I can only speak for myself but I learned real quick not to eat too much or I'd throw up, get nausea or have pain. That's a huge deterrant lol. I found that over eating is no problem at this point, I'm 3 months out. The price I pay is too high so no, I don't want it I am physically and mentally satisfied. Further, when I do crave something it moves out of my head faster than I can believe sometimes. I would think that the lack of hunger helps as far as that goes.

I'm 6 weeks out. I haven't been hungry, yet. I need to measure my food and watch the clock to remind myself to eat. I'm the cook in my family and mainly because I'm not hungry I can still cook and not be tempted to eat it. I've gone to restaurants and ordered an appetizer or split the meal with someone else. So far, so good.
