I had a taco. Sort of



Recommended Posts

My kids took me out to lunch. Happily they didn't have to waste money on my meal. It was taco day. I ordered 1 hard shell with sour cream cheese, lettuce and Tomato.

I ended up only eating along the sour cream/meat line and removed all the shell above it. So less than half of a whole taco. No problems it tasted wonderful. I know the person waiting on me was thinking wth? I finally enjoyed being out at a restaurant, I felt comfortable. For once I didn't think about food. I enjoyed the conversations MORE than I paid attention to food.

This is so major for me. I was the only one that cleaned their plate when out to eat.

Now I'm the only one leaving food on my plate (taco), giving it away or boxing it up.

I may eat a little. Dog has better chances with the leftovers, lol.

The inside of burritos and enchiladas are delicious too!

Tacos work for me. They are a treat. Two crunchy taco supremes with no shredded cheese are only 340 calories.

As a rule, corn tortillas, even crunchy corn, are better than flour.

I keep my carbs low enough I can spurge on a little taco shell, bread or Pasta. The only thing that gives me cravings is straight up sugar added products. I avoid them as much as possible.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
