I can not live without tortillas I know they are bad for u but I need them..ugh recommendation s?

I make "tacos" shells out of cooked cauliflower!

La Tortilla makes a taco/fajita-sized tortilla with 50 calories (they have a bigger one with more calories). I think it has 5g protein, 10g carbs, but 7g or so is fiber. I've seen them at Kroger, Sprouts, or online at netrition.com

How far out are you? I allow myself one taco with a corn tortilla about once a week. It keeps me sane. ????

I'm 3 and a half weeks post op.

Yeah, that's still pretty early. I didn't really start eating those until 3 months out.

Yeah, you're way too early out to be thinking about tortillas now. But a few months down the road have corn tortillas. They are definitely better than the flour tortillas. You may also find they don't sit well in your tummy. They don't with me. Luckily. Lol.

Don't even try to eat one. No matter how bad the urge. They clump up something fierce and get stuck right that the top of your stomach/bottom of your esophagus. Sure fire way to throw up. Don't ask me how I know. I don't crave tortillas anymore though. And that is something considering I am married to a Costa Rican that likes to make her own!

Hi I'm scheduled for October 25th sleeve surgery... I'm kind of rethinking the surgery. I hear a lot if people gain weight back, so I'm very concerned has anyone had this experience or advice?

Also, my long term worry is what we acted "allowed" to eat? I hear no Pasta, no rice, no bread, no solid meat and no fresh veg/fruit! Ever???

Someone help please!!!

Its not that u can't ever have them. But in the beginning u can't have some of them. All doctors offices are different I can have fresh fruit and veggies whole wheat pasta and bread when I'm 2 mths out. U don't want to eat then regularly cuz of carbs.

I started eating tortillas at about a year out. At 2 1/2 years out, I can only eat 1/3 8" tortilla or 1/2 of a standard corn tortilla, but I still enjoy them regularly.

I'd much rather eat a bit of tortilla with meat and cheese over a roll or slice of bread. My restriction limits my portion tremendously, but I savor the small piece i do eat.

Mission brand makes a great low carb tortilla. White or wheat, white is great! I'm pre-op but have followed a low carb diet for some time. Great substitute for bread also.
