so I'm a couple of days away from being 6 weeks out. I'm on soft foods and I've been eating a lot of fish, eggs, and rotisserie chicken. Tonight I'm meeting a friend for dinner. It will be the 1st time out to a restaurant since surgery. For some reason I'm nervous about it. We are going to Fuzzy's taco shop. I've already scoped out the menu and I'm going to get baja grilled shrimp soft taco or fish taco. I'm planning on just eating the shrimp and or fish because I'm not sure if I can eat corn tortillas. I know i'm supposed to stay away from breads til week 7 but i'm not sure about tortillas. Anyone know corn tortillas or ok to eat at this point?

Tortillas are counted as a bread in my plan, but you may want to check with your own dietician to see what her/his rules are. Also, they really don't have a lot of nutritional value so IMO there's no point in trying to eat them.

I love Fuzzy's! We eat there regularly. I recommend the black Beans and/or I'll get a "taco" with 1 scrambled egg and a scoop of the pulled chicken--no cheese or tortilla. I had 1/2 of a corn tortilla for the first time Christmas day (15 weeks out). I really don't think I would have had one at 6 weeks out. I'm still not eating bread but for Christmas morning I broiled corn tortillas and made black bean tostadas for Breakfast and 1/2 of one was my treat for the holidays.

that sounds like a good idea. You can get Breakfast stuff at night there? Im leaving towards shrimp taco with no tortilla and maybe refried Beans. I'm not big on black Beans

Our Fuzzy's serves their full menu all day. The pulled chicken is from the Chilequilas (my pre-op favorite thing to order).

You can eat the fish taco and leave the shell. I do that when I eat chicken enchiladas or tostadas. I just eat the lettuce Tomato cheese and whatever meat is on it and just leave the tortilla. Carbs and fats are bad you know.

There are times that I can have a taco with tortilla and times it is just way too much for my tummy. But just one and it's probably the only carb I cheat on and that is once in a while. If you can tolerate it I'm sure you will be just fine :)

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
