Is ok to eat a taco. Soft or hard?



Recommended Posts

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

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?

Scape everything out of the tortilla and just eat the that, it's best to skip the tortilla.

Oh that's an idea... But I would take the lettuce out too. Lettuce is really tough on new stomachs..

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>

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
