low carb tortillas?

[amiller1010 2]

I had my first fill on 7/19 and have been on liquids since. Tomorrow I get to start soft food and was wondering if low carb tortilla wraps are considered soft? I'm not sure and don't want to mess anything up. I know people have trouble with it, but figure I won't know till I try. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Tortillas are not soft food/soft is usually considered anything you can mash with a fork.....

Ok I was unsure because my doc also considers chicken and ground beef soft food. Thank you!

It's not that you shouldn't try it because you can't mash it with a fork. I actually haven't heard that. My soft food diet consists of ground meats and all kinds of other stuff you can't necessarily crush with a fork. I wouldn't try it because it's very "bready" and you might have trouble not getting it caught. I would avoid breads at all costs for a while, just to be safe. Good luck!

My surgeon and nutritionist both told me not to have any of the "experimental" foods until after 6 months...

It never ceases to amaze me what different doctors tell their patients to do. My post fill diet has always been liquids for 12-24 hours and then eat what you want! I can't believe that some doctors post fill instructions last for several days. I would still follow the doctors instructions and NO...flour tortilla are not a soft food!

It is pretty crazy. Some doctors are more conservative on the fills, while mine is more aggressive. My doctor suggests, for after a fill, eating liquids for the rest of the day (of the appointment) and then the day after. Then, slowly move back up to solids. He's basically told me to move as tolerated while other doctors are REALLY strict on the regime.

Every doctor is different. Mine is no pre-op diet other than low carb. One week of liquids/soft food and then moving you straight to trying anything you can tolerate. He's quick to explain though that anything you can't crumble in your hand will have trouble going down the band.
