Oh The Temptation!



Recommended Posts

My boyfriend just walked in the door with 2 chichiron pupusas with the spicy pickled cabbage and Tomato salsa. I can't wait until I can have just a few bits. I told him not today (I'm almost 2 weeks post-surgery) but maybe in a couple of months I can have a few bites.

For those of you who don't know what a pupusa is - it's a Salvadorian delite. It's like a thick corn tortilla stuffed with a variety of ingredients - sometimes chichironnes (pork skins), cheese and Beans, sometimes shrimp, or chicken or loroco (some kind of Central American herb)

At this early stage, ask him to not bring them in to the house. My husband and sons would go out for pizza rather than bring it home. They look yummy though.

Oh it was ok. He doesn't realize what I can't eat - he asked if I wanted a bite and I told him no I can't - I told him maybe in about 2 months we would go out and have them. They honestly aren't near as bad a diet disaster than my pre-surgery favorite Tex-Mex meal but I know I can't have them now.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
