3wks out tacos?



Recommended Posts

@@sc101071 I'm fairly certain taco shells aren't on there. Taco shells could cause complications. Many plans are different and we should be following our own plans or questioning changes with our own surgeon. Depending on what your idea of a taco - I would not be allowed lettuce or Tomato at 3 weeks. I would only be allowed pureed meat, melted cheese and sour cream. So my answer would be - no I can't have tacos.

I wasn't allowed veggies until well past 6 weeks and even then, my NP frowned on anything like lettuce as it contains so little nutrients. Tomatoes and anything else with seeds was also a no no. FOR ME.

Beans and cheese? YUP. Sour cream? Absolutely (but I used plain greek yogurt instead). meat and veggies? Not quite yet...

But again. FOR ME. I even have that disclaimer in my signature. You know, so I don't come across as SMUG. ;)

Odd thing? My NUT who is very strict, makes no restriction on full fat products- dressing, sour cream, mayo, BBQ Sauce etc. Her opinion on Condiments is that because of the small volume of food we consume, we aren't eating THAT much of a particular condiment, so have at. Her opinion is regular dressing tastes better so enjoy the scant teaspoon you will likely need.

I, too, eat full fat everything. The only thing I really watch is sugar and carbs. Full fat tastes better, keeps me full longer and is much more satisfying. Bring on the fat and bring on the flavor!!

I too eat full fat everything, it's more natural not as many carbs either. They add "flavorings" in the form of carbs to "low fat" or "light" to give it taste.

Ok so crazy story. I am 2 weeks preop. I was in the hospital all of Labor Day weekend. So while there I watch my 600 pound life. The whole show she was addicted to Mexican food. I sat there for 2 hours watching that. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I have not had a craving for anything till then. So on our way home yesterday I stopped at Taco Bell got a regular taco scooped out a tiny bit of meat tasted great. Got home 15 minutes later and was in the bathroom for an hour. So yeah I'm over tacos. Lol

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
