krystalt313 13 Posted May 31, 2013 I forgot my lunch today. I am 5 weeks post op. I haven't had a problem with food going down so far. Is it ok if I eat a soft taco from Taco Bell. Actually, a soft chicken taco. I can handle tortilla chips fine so far...I don't go over board. On the brighter side. My 2 week stall has finally ended! Woo hoo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted May 31, 2013 I forgot my lunch today. I am 5 weeks post op. I haven't had a problem with food going down so far. Is it ok if I eat a soft taco from Taco Bell.

Woo hoo[/quote'] None of us can tell you if it's ok or not sorry But soft tortillas are harder on the stomach than something crunchy... Not sure what you stage is but a lot of people here like Wendy's chili in a pinch.. Or at Taco Bell do they have Beans? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iniysa 157 Posted May 31, 2013 Scape everything out of the tortilla and just eat the that, it's best to skip the tortilla. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TapSnap 357 Posted May 31, 2013 I know at taco bell they have refried Beans with a little cheese on top. That isnt so bad and has a lot of Protein.< /p> 1 No game reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tammalina 2 Posted May 31, 2013 I am 7 weeks post op and also have had no problems with food; I had a soft taco the other day from taco bell and did fine. I ordered it with no lettuce and then I ripped most of the soft shell off as only the bottom of the taco had the meat and cheese in it and I did fine. Good luck.

Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted May 31, 2013 I was so consumed with eating a taco about 6 weeks out that I bought one and discovered I hated the tortilla... I don't eat food stuff that has corn in it because when they want to fatten up our beef, they feed them corn. So I avoid corn like a plague..... As for flour tortilla's, I don't eat them either. They don't taste like they use too. I go to El Pollo local and get the chicken tortilla Soup and skip the tortilla strips. I also make sure I don't eat the corn in there.

LipstickLady 25,682 Posted May 31, 2013 I'd have the pintos and cheese, minus the onions and red sauce. Or, as Laura suggested, eat the filling and not the shell. That should be more than plenty, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chinamama 104 Posted May 31, 2013 Or just order a side of taco meat..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessicaAnn 564 Posted May 31, 2013 Or like people said, the Beans and cheese and maybe some sour cream too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JProx 161 Posted May 31, 2013 Hard shell with just meat and cheese uh anything hard you can break up really small Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SMO 193 Posted June 1, 2013 I am 15 weeks out and I can eat a crispy taco, minus lettuce. I cannot eat flour tortillas at all. Very painful. I agree that the side of Beans would be best or as Laura says -- eat whatever is on the inside -- except lettuce if it bothers you. I was not cleared to eat raw veggies at 5 weeks out.

luckysmomma 407 Posted June 1, 2013 I am 12 weeks out . . .I've had both, but I can't eat the entire thing just a couple of bites. Tried to heat it up later & it was yucky...so I'm wasting my money really... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hepktty 30 Posted June 1, 2013 If I'm in a pinch I go with the meximelt from tacobell. Ground beef, melted cheese, and tomato! Amazing and I eat just a few bites, save the rest for later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
