In mid-December, I will be 6 weeks post op. Just found out today that our clinic Christmas party is going to be at a Mexican food restaurant. Mexican food is my favorite! I am highly dedicated to this journey and following my diet. I just need suggestions on what to order. A few co workers know I had surgery, most know I've been dieting. Of course I will stay away from chips and salsa. Although I know I will only be able to eat a small amount, I want to make a healthy choice. My husband already knows I will be bringing him home most of my meal. Should I order a shrimp taco and just eat the insides, no shell? Grilled chicken with a few bites of fajita veggies? I would love to know what you would do.

Ceviche! Pre op, that's been my favorite thing to order at my local Mexican restaurant. I would even mix in some of the salsa for a little kick.

But I'm still in the puréed phase now, so none of that for me for a little while longer.

Toppings of nachos, insides of tacos and enchiladas, guacomole, fajita meat and veggies, refried beans, tortilla soup. Mexican food is a staple here in Texas and there are lots of options!

I like the idea of fajitas, just don't eat the tortillas.

At six weeks I was still on puréed foods. Soup, or maybe a side of refried Beans with cheese might be a good choice.

Thank you everyone for your WONDERFUL suggestions! Fajita meat and veggies it is. Mrssoupmix - I will be on regular foods by then. I start soft foods this Thursday. I've been on puréed for the past two weeks. I will chew, chew, chew and take my time.

At 6 weeks, I was loving refried Beans with cheese. Make sure that fajita meat is nice and moist, that will be good, too
