One thing I noticed reading through many threads, the people who have hit goal weight and have been around for a long time, are generally the most kind and helpful. In every forum, there will always be those who crave to be "popular" and part of the "in" crowd. I didn't care for them in high school, and I don't care for them now. Their humor is almost always directed to hurting someone or being condescending.

As far as the tacos question, there are some programs that allow incorporating normal foods at 21 days. Corn isn't inherently bad, and one can get taco shells that are not fried. The problem is that the Protein first rule should be the first and more important rule in all your meals. It is something to keep in mind as you progress through your journey.

Sounds like a fine idea if it's on your surgeon's plan. I was still on mushies at three weeks, so it would not have worked for me. :D

I'm going to ahead and quote my original answer to this inquiry. You know, the second post in this thread -- my Initial answer the OP.

If it's hard to read, I'll sum it up: if it's allowed on your plan, have at it.

I could not care less if I'm "popular" here nor is there an "in crowd". Most vets have left because our input is consistently attacked. Sorry I'm not going to call everyone "friend", "send up prayers", or give bad behaviors the warm fuzzy thumbs up of approval. And no, I won't help you justify eating what landed you here in the first place.

I think your health (your being general/collective) is worth more than that. It's a shame that a few people choose to villianize some of us for that and and even bigger shame they choose to not to value their health as much as they should.

If that makes me a bad person, slap your label on me, hit the ignore button and move on. I won't be bullied or chastised into condoning poor dietary choices.

When your surgeon moved you to real foods, he/she absolutely meant all the gooey, cheesy, fatty, greasy, creamy, rich, carb laden crap you could handle.

Have at it!

Can we do something more interesting than tacos for this round of 'What Not To Eat'? Don't any of you people ever go through the Dairy Queen drive-through? How about a big old Blizzard or something??

DQ is always filthy.

Let's get a double slice at the Cheesecake Factory.

After all, it does have cheese' in it (protein') and it is creamy so that's soft, right?

Throw in some ice cream' as dairy and we're set!

Newbie on this site, but thanks for the laughs ????

My small input...

There is a reason why it's a good idea to diet before your sugery. Learn to read the labels. Use an app if counting is too difficult. Don't try to get people to agree to your bad choices, mess yourself up if you want, but please don't let others get bad influences from you. If more than one person tries to tell you that you are doing something wrong/stupid, it might be a good idea to listen and think again.

Thanks.

Here is a true story from my dieting life:

My first nut, some years ago, when I first realized I need help, was like a late night show:

Nut: (looking at her computer) Here are some pamphelts...

I: (suprised to see the nut is bigger than me) Thanks, but I need real advice.

Nut: (still looking at the computer) Read the pamphelts.

I: (getting annoyed, try to shock her into looking at me) I eat icecream every evening, is that ok? (I didn't and I don't, but needed a reaction)

Nut: (still looking at the computer) That's good, you are getting some Vitamins D and Calcium.

I leave the room, never to return...

My current nut is way, way better ????

Wait? A newbie NOT chastising us for smirky, snide, disingenuous, derogatory, mean-spirited, condescending and inflammatory responses??

Hath HELL frozen over??

And I always like Nilla wafers with my ice team and pudding.

Hi SDC, yeah, I guess you can guess that tacos at 3 weeks wouldn't be a good idea. Do talk to your nutritionist and/or surgeon when you can start incorporating solid foods on your plan. If there is anything one will learn on this forum is that there are huge differences between surgeons/nutritionists/people opinions. Some go low carb, others prefer balanced... blahblahblah. hehe

Once you're cleared for solids, may I suggest some healthy taco recipes. I had the band for a long time (been a member since 2010), and often enjoyed healthy tacos. I just recently revised to the sleeve due to issues with the band, so I'm still in the pureed stage. So like you, no tacos for me. :)

However, in the future, here are some ideas. Hope this helps.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
