Hello Everyone!

I have just been banded on Friday, June 6th and have lost 14 lbs so far. I'm doing good... eating my mushies... drinking my protein drinks.

My question is.... will I ever be able to eat a taco...shell and meat together? How about Corn or Flour Tortilla's? Chips?

Thanks!

I got my band on May 9th and have not had a fill yet, but tacos is still one of my favorite meals and I don't have any problems. Just remember your limits and eat in moderation.

Unfortunately I can eat chips with NO PROBLEM. That is my one weakness. I don't crave sweets, bad carbs, fried foods...... but I always want crispy, crunchy and salty. ESPECIALLY after Water aerobics and I can't get dinner made fast enough.

A crunchy taco I've had no problem with. A flour tortilla I had with some fajita meat got a little stuck. Not for long, it went down, but it was a little uncomfortable. I think I took to big a bite. I didn't eat much of it. I just ate the meat plain after that.

Good to know, I love Mexian food (my favorite is the chicken taco salad).

I don't have any problems with chips, but tortilla shells get stuck all the time. Usually if I have tacos at home I'll eat with chips like nachos or just the meat plain.

I have had no problem with tacos or chips...however I used to eat like 3 or 4 tacos and a bag of chips...Now I can eat like 1/2 a taco and about 10 chips...

Banded 5/14 and the scale is down 30 pounds!!!! I had my first fill on 6/10 ( 2ccs in a 10cc band)

Had my first taco on Saturday. And a few refried beans. So yummy. It went down fine, but I broke it into small pieces and ate it with a fork kinda like a taco salad. Was afraid I'd take too big of bites if I ate it normally.

I eat black bean tacos regularly, but never within a couple of weeks of a fill. Could just be paranoia, but it seems like they might stick when I'm feeling tight.

I CANNOT figure out how to post a new question - have asked and looked. Surely cannot be as hard as I am making it!

I love the salty too.............and can handle about anything. I had surgery 4/23 and lost almost 25 lbs before fill. Fill occurred about 8 days ago -- and I swear I can eat anything that does not run away from me. Do they take pictures of your innards to see if you have stretched or what.

Also -- is anyone else very aware of the hardware installed in you. When I bend over or lay on my rt side, I think I can feel it -- but probably just being paranoid.

I see I have asked several questions..........so somebody please steer me in the right direction!!

I think most people can feel there port if the push on the right place a bit. That is pretty normal.

Be careful with the chips guys...they are slider foods don't eat too many.

Probably what you are feeling is your port. Most people can feel it when laying on their stomach or side, it is not unusual. It is a little weird at first, but you will get used to it.
