dwhitten 2 Posted September 20, 2013 As anyone had a tortilka wrap 5 weeks out. I was thinjibg of making one with Turkey and cheese and cutting it into 4ths. Any input? Too early?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmBeR09 60 Posted September 20, 2013 Tortilla is recommended over bread. I'm 9 days out and my doctor told me to start regular food since I tolerated full liquids and Soups with chunks so well. So I had a small tortilla with chicken on it today. My only suggestion would be small bites and chew it up well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lsu2868 708 Posted September 20, 2013 I did the exact same thing the other day. A small tortilla, a slice of turkey deli meat and a slice of swiss cheese. Rolled it and popped it n the microwave for 25 seconds. Tasted awesome! 1 AmBeR09 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squawprincess_2013 14 Posted September 21, 2013 I've had tortillas with deli slices and cheese melted in the microwave and also egg and cheese tortillas. When I stop at half, I feel okay, but if I eat the whole thing, I feel nauseated for a while. I'm almost 8 weeks out. I have eaten rice, bread, Pizza Crust, and rolls, but not a lot at a time. I did eat a whole McD hamburger in two settings. Except for feeling a little nauseated, I seem to tolerate just about anything I try. My problem is I'm getting tired of having to be so selective about what I eat. I look at lots of stuff and don't want any of it. Thinking about just not eating at all anymore. Good luck to you.

debrooks66 41 Posted September 22, 2013 Wow I'm amazed y'all able to eat what you are! I'm starting my 5th week and are on soft foods. I have been having issues tolerating chicken, eggs, and ground beef! I don't seem to be able to eat much. Breakfast consist of 3 tablespoons of cream of wheat. I can't imagine eating a wrap! Believe me I would like too but it isn't happening just yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beach Lover 1,084 Posted September 22, 2013 If you are wanting something low in carbs you can also make a lettuce wrap instead of the tortilla. Works if you are high on your carb count for the day. 1 AmBeR09 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted September 25, 2013 Had my 1st tortilla last nite (11 wks out) and regretted it. I've been eating 1 pc of bread (toasted) every morning without problems. I made homemade soft tacos last nite and I was starving. Not sure if it was the tortilla or the fact that I ate about 3/4 of a taco in about 5 mins. Luv, luv, luv warm tortilllas with melted butter. If someone told me I could never have tortillas again Id have been really sad. I waited till 8 wks before adding bread tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squawprincess_2013 14 Posted September 25, 2013 Sleeve Master, I would say you ate it too fast. I have eaten tortillas several times now without issue. NUT says if a food actually makes you sick, wait 3 months and then try it again. I don't know if I would wait that long, maybe a month. I'm 8 weeks out today. I've eaten bread, bread sticks, bits of rolls, flat bread from Subway. I have even had a couple bites of egg rolls. If you eat slow and not too much, it seems to work for me. Good luck. We all know that we can't do without bread items completely and be happy about it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
