do you still season food w sazon/adobo? do you occasionally eat pastellios, tostones and stuff like that?

I'm not Hispanic, but a Puerto Rican friend made me some red Beans (seasoned with adobo, sazon, etc.) and I mixed in some cooked ground turkey, absolute heaven! My sleeve loved it! I didn't even have to mash it up, I just chewed real well. I can eat 4-5 ounces and it's full of Protein. She showed me how to make it, so it will definitely be something I'll eat a lot of.

I'm Hispanic, Mexican and yes I still cook with the same sazon as before no problems here. I've had luck with my sleeve nothing bothers it. Except chicken the first 6 weeks was to heavy now I could eat it just fine.

I'm Puerto Rican and I still use adobo to season my food. I even make quinoa almost how I made arroz amarillo. I've haven't had frituras yet because I know I can't have just one! Lol

My wife is Cuban/ West Indian and quite frequently uses adobo and sazon to season food. I also use it when cooking Caribbean food.

Yes I still use all of the same seasoning in my cooking, but I haven't had any tostones or anything like that yet and probably won't for a long while. So delicious but so bad for us and part of the reason I needed this surgery in the first place, lol! I did make some mangu the other day (boiled, mashed, seasoned plantains) and it went down fine, but I could only have a tiny bit.

Good luck!

OMG mangu!! Now I want! lol I had queso frito the other day and it went down fine. I don't eat pork but I'm curious if anyone has had any bad experiences with pernil?

I tolerate pernil and pork chops just fine, just in very small portions.

As a Puerto Rican rice is made in my home almost everyday, so I thought for sure this lifestyle change was going to be so hard, but so far so good. I don't miss it and watching the scale go down is much more satisfying!
