I'm Mexican and love Mexican food I was sleeved on November 13th I can eat Beans really good and refried beans too and caldo de Rez really good but carnitas are too greasy I agree. I'm not suppose to eat rice yet but ate arroz con Leche the other day and it went down fine

I think the pozole would be fine. I ate pozole really early out. If your on a full diet try a tamale. It's really hard to say what can be tolerated as everyone is different.

Hi, congrats on your surgery.

Are u on a full diet already? I was barely on full liquids going into pureed on day 12...

I would think your stomach would still be very sensitive to the spice food and all the manteca they use making the tamales.

Do not rush into eating heavy laden fat food..

I am almost 4 months out and very careful with what I eat, especially hot spice food.< /p>

Remember Protein first...ALWAYS...

Have a very merry Christmas with your loved ones

I am 6 1/2 months out, but at the beginning I did 2 weeks of liquids, 4 weeks of puree, 4 weeks of soft and then regular. Every Dr is different, just follow your Dr's plan. I just want it to say that this has been the best decision that I have ever made in my life, I wish I will have done it sooner. Please send me an email if you have any questions.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
