Low Carb Tortilla



Recommended Posts

I am pre op and trying to watch my carbs (which of course I love) This morning I tried a low carb tortilla with my egg

and salsa and it was really good. Will I be able to eat a low carb tortilla after surgery or is it one of those things like bread

and Pasta which swell up and are uncomfortable for the first 6 months or so?????

I personally can't eat one of these soft, it feels like a painful lump. But we make mini pizzas out of them with no fat mozzerella, fresh basil, and Tomato sauce. When it gets crunchy it's a great pizza fix. I can eat a 1/4 of a 8' tortilla.

I can not do bread, rice or potatoes but can eat a wrap or tortilla! I will cut it in half and have two meals but it something I can tolerate. Everyone is different! You will learn this very quickly after your sleeve! Good Luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
