Horribly sad, but for the best. I've broken up with...

...Mexican Food! (But not my hot dish of a latino partner of 9 yrs)

It's true. Thought it was time to take the true test and take my beloved out for a belated VD dinner. This was going to be a make or break moment for me. For Mexican food was my passionate lover for many years.

Sat down, ate 5 tortilla chips. In my pre-op days, that would have been 2 baskets (at least). Ordered a chicken enchilada expecting explosions of warm waves to course through my body...not so much... It tasted a little like dish soap to me.

The love affair is over and I've moved on!

Thanks for listening :)

I have found that after surgery... I no longer like all that stuff..none of it sounds good at all.. I have not tried any of my old favorites.. and I too was a mexican food junkie.. now im afraid to eat any of that stuff for fear of hurting my stomach.. so I guess all that stuff the doc drills in you makes you afraid of food LOL something I'd never thought I would hear myself say... Ive divorced food :))

Wow! I feel so bad I don't have any issues with food! Although everything I eat is usually homemade :( minus the cod burger from Carl's without the bun. Any how I made chicken enchiladas with that white crumble cheese which I can't spell and shredded chicken it was yummy. Only had one when I would usually have like three lol. So try making home made instead of restaurants your love of the Mexicans will return!

I completely can relate. My DD and I went out to Mexican food last night at a highly rated dive in our neighborhood. I had one chip with salsa and then ordered a chicken dish they had, grilled chicken with monterey jack cheese, sauteed onions and peppers. It was delicious and filling all 1/4 of it. I completely skipped the rice, Beans and tortilla as well. Just not into it anymore.

WOW--Dish soap. I was hoping you would have said could only take a few lush bites and had to take the rest home for lunch tomorrow. Divorce is tough. Good Luck

At our local Mexican place, they have a spicy chicken dish called Pollo Loco that's very tasty. It's served with rice and Beans, but I just have them hold the rice.

The soap thing might be a palate change if there's cilantro in it. For people with non-cilantro friendly taste buds, it's often said to taste like soap.

I can eat tacos just fine well one and I'm full but I love them and refried Beans

My girls still make the homemade tortillas that we have always made with rice and beans... I just can't eat the tortilla and just a lil rice.

My house would be in an uproar with out these things :)
