My favorite type of food is Mexican food . I love French fries but have found a healthy way to still have them will I ever be able to enjoy a burrito (kids size) lol or chicken tacos again ? Are they loaded with carbs. Just a question I'm not saying I'm going to do it or anything so please dont judge me.

Oh I love this topic! lol

I had some soft shell chicken tacos but noticed that the corn tortillas filled me up so I don't eat all the tortilla anymore and it is usually one taco. A burrito on the other hand just can't do it. I think it is the flour tortilla but I have to eat the insides and leave the tortilla and also no rice. What is the healthy way for french fries?

If you make tacos or burritos at home, you can use a low-carb flour tortilla.

I just do Mexican food without any kind of tortilla or shell. Just as good if you ask me!

@@Babbs So true. Even before my surgery, I would make tacos and the kids would have them in shells and I would usually put the filling on top of lettuce like a taco salad.

I don't even mess with the tortillas anymore. Because I don't eat enough as it is (nor do I get enough protein) I try to eat the essentials only. I just get full so fast.

I actually made chicken tacos for dinner about 2 days ago. I put the meat in a bowl with some cheese, it was great and I didn't even miss the tortilla.

I just got Chipotle the other night and it was awesome. No rice or tortilla, just a burrito bowl. I got 4 delicious meals out of it!

Substituting a piece of lettuce as a tortilla is quite delicious. I love to eat Thai chicken lettuce wraps and look forward to using lettuce in place of all types of bread (buns, tortillas, etc).

So, at Chipotle, you can get double everything except meat for free. I get no rice, double Beans, double fajita veggies, barbacoa, extra cheese, sour cream, salsa and it's delicious! For me, too, it's 4 or 5 meals and I enjoy every bite.

When i go out to the Greek gyro place, I order a chicken gyro and instead of fries they substitute steamed veggies. I always take off the pita bread and eat some of the chicken and veggies. Bring a lot home for two more meals. I love Greek gyros

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
