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.

      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.
