10 months post op, this really depends on the taco, if we are talking about the alpo they sell at Taco Hell I can do 2 taco supremes with hard shells. Soft shells I'd stick to 1.

I'm 6 months out and am at goal, I could eat most of 1 taco, if I ate it really slowly, and forced myself. I would probably be content with half a one though.

I am 7 weeks out and last week ate at taco bell... wife was craving it and we were in a time crunch. Anyways, I was able to eat the entire insides of a hard taco supreme and 3-4 bites of the shell. I think by 3-4 months out I will have no issues eating 1 entirely... maybe even closer to 2 tacos a year out.

Hmmm well, it depends on the taco but I can say that I can eat about half a standard taco (no rice) from chipotle. Thats the only kind I have tried but I would imagine I could probably do most of a regular taco bell taco.

I weighed a taco from chipotle once and if I remember correctly it was a little over 6 ounces - I did that because I was trying to decide how much of it I should sit down with and try to eat. 3-4oz is my standard serving so half was perfect.

      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?
