Only way we can answer is if you provide some detail about what your specific does post-op plan allow at this stage

On my plan, I could eat the meat part of the filling (or beans) from a chicken taco when I hit the soft food stage. Not on purees. I can't eat raw veggies (such as the lettuce and tomatoes inside a taco) or carby foods like tortillas until I am out of the soft food phase, which is six months after surgery. But what your surgeon allows may vary drastically.

I am on purees right now. The only thing I can eat in a Mexican restaurant is refried Beans.< /p>

On the liquid phase of my diet, I would have been SOL and ordering a glass of skim milk.

Even just chicken? !?? Hahaha :P

Chicken can be tough for some in the beginning..

When you are several months out and cleared for all food you can try these things.

Quite honestly for the first 3 to 4 months you may have a harder time but when you get further out 6 months or so you will be able to eat EVERYTHING!

And that's when the real work starts.

Don't rush yourself, enjoy the time off from being able to eat everything and take advantage of your optimal weight loss window :)

This is different for everyone. If its not clear in your surgeon's or nutritionist's instructions, ask them. While I'm 3 + months post-op, I'm fairly certain my surgeon wouldn't be thrilled at the idea of my eating tacos. I will say that we are all adults and in charge of our own bodies....I work my sleeve in a way that is best for me and cant say that what I do works for everyone else.

There are lots of sleeve friendly options at a Mexican restaurant. In my opinion, its one of the easier places for me to eat out. Refried Beans, fajitas (no tortilla), the inside of an enchilada or nutrition....they are all fantastic and give me what I need.

On a serious note...breads and flour tortillas sit like an uncomfortable rock in the sleeve. So I still avoid those.

Weird question. Has anyone tried to eat raw oysters on soft foods? Haha

Blech...

I've enjoyed sashimi (raw fish) especially fresh salmon because it breaks down like butter yum!

I'm hungry now! :P

I would think oysters would be fibrous though..

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
