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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
