Thoughts On Watermelon And Tortillas



Recommended Posts

I know we are not supposed to have bread but I was wondering if there are any exceptions for tortillas? I miss having wraps or fajitas :/ ......

Also wanted some thoughts on watermelon ..... Some people yay and some nay ..... I would love a piece especially in this hot summer

I think it depends where you are in the process...I'm 16 weeks and eat a small, thin tortilla with my eggbeaters every morning to make a wrap. Sometimes I don't eat the end because it's too doughy. When I go out for lunch or lunch is brought in to work I try to pick a wrap because I can't really eat the bread and I do ok.

I don't dump so watermelon doesn't bother me other than filling me up because it's all Water. So, depending what stage you're in I say give it a try. Your body will tell you if it doesn't like it. Good luck!

I do fine with tortillas and just had Water melon the other day and was fine. just make sure to have some Protein with both. I ate a piece of beef Jerky before the water melon and was fine. I'm almost 4 months post op.

I do OK with tortillas but in small portions and I too do not eat the ends. Watermellon on the other hand is a no-no for me, for some strange reason I cannot process the meaty part and it feels like it gets stuck going down. I love watermellon and miss it. That was about 3-4 weeks ago, I may give it another try and see what happens.

Do you toast your bread or tortillas? We were told to make sure to toast the bread product or it would get stuck.

I didn't try tortillas until I was cleared for regular foods. I warm them up but don't toast them. I always toast bread-and really almost never eat it because it's just too much. The bet advice is to follow your doctor's plan. Compliance can't be beat. :) best wishes!

I had three bites of a tortilla and had my worst dumping yet. Go figure!! As for watermelon my Dr cleared me for all things healthy EXCEPT fit watermelon and a couple other things. Weird but he said it has minimal nutrition compared to the sugar content in it. It is odd how all the doctors are different

Everyone is different..It doesn't hurt to try...I can eat tortilla and watermelon. and trust me, I dump easily. Low carb tortilla is good too. Yesterday, I had half a burrito supreme from taco bell...I just don't eat tortilla often and I'm losing weight.

        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.

      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
