Was able to eat 2 hard shell tacos today... Is that considered a lot?

I'm 5 weeks out and the only real craving I've had is for a crunchy taco! One of these days I'm gonna have to get one and savor it!

Those TB tacos are mostly air. :)

A tablespoon of "meat" and a sprinkle of cheese. I want a real California taco. The kind they put the shredded beef in and then fry, then pry open and put lettuce, cheese and tomatoes in. But I cannot eat lettuce yet. So I wait. I do not think I could eat a soft taco made with a flour tortilla. I tried a bit of one and it did not agree with my tummy at all. I ate a crispy corn chip and it was clear that I will have to avoid them. They went down too easy. But I think a real crispy shredded beef taco is definitely in my future. With hot sauce.

One of my go-to meals is a cheese quesadilla (sometimes with chicken, sometimes not) - I use one of those soft taco sized Carb Balance tortillas and 1/4 cup of cheese. I fry it up really good with that fake butter spray and I'm totally satisfied.

If I could eat 2 full tacos in 15 minutes, I'd be setting up an appointment with my surgeon IMMEDIATELY to find out why! I don't actually know why someone who was sleeved 8 weeks ago would even ATTEMPT to eat that much but each to their own.

I was sleeved on January 14. Starting weight was 277 and weight today is 255. I don't understand what all the "confessions" are about? Why is it not okay to eat a snickers every once in a while or have the fish from McDonald's? I've eaten whatever I want and still lose a pound every day. I'm so confused about why everyone thinks you can NEVER have sugar, caffeine, carbs, or fat again? That's probably why everyone's hair is falling out??! Eat a healthy diet but be realistic! If you want one piece of cheesecake (which u prob can't eat every bite of anyways) then eat one!

Don't be such a hypocrite... :rolleyes: .

Did a quick search and a TB taco is 2.6oz... 5.2oz for the 2 I ate which isn't really a lot.

I took a job offer in San Francisco about 6 years ago...lived there for 3 years. This taco truck would swing into my job site everyday and make these deep fried tacos. They were fried with potatoes and beef then opened up and filled with lettuce, sour cream and a home made salsa. The best mexican food I have ever eaten came off that food truck.

Hey I've done really well, down 110lbs in 4 months. While mentally I'm okay saying I can "have a muffin" I'm still not going to eat it. Though I'll admit I had one small chocolate chip cookie last week after the wife baked a batch. You would have thought it would be delicious but I've gone so long without sweets that it was sickly sweet and kinda gross.

Now what I do love and seem to have for like 10 meals a week is some of my fantastically awesome homemade chili. Even though I'm past the point of needing things the consistency of chili it just tastes good, goes down easy, meets the diet requirements, etc. Strangely enough I did try to a soft taco with a flour tortilla and that was difficult. Corn chips/tortillas are not a problem but the flour went down kinda hard, felt like a rock in my stomach for a good 30 minutes. I can't imagine what that muffin would do!

      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.
