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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
