Taco question

[lisalisalisa 54]

To those who had gastric bypass, do tacos make you dump? I remember someone said they did so I'm scared lol. It's not something I would think of as having sugar in it!

I seen that too lisa....she bought it at a fast food drive thru, Im wondering if there was sugar in the sauce or seasoning?

[lisalisalisa 54]

I dont know. I"m hoping it was an unusual case!

I would think that the fast food taco is probably high fat- I think that can cause dumping too. I was told high fat and sugar can cause it. I'm going to try homemade tacos with ground turkey tonight so hopefully it will go ok!!!!

Please let me know how the taco goes. Ground beef is the one meat I seem to be able to eat without issues. chicken is a killer!

I have a hard time with chicken as well, but Mexican has been something that has worked well for me since a month out.

I eat the taco without the shell most of the time but have had a soft shell and did fi e. I just cant eat the whole thing.

Thanks everyone! Well, I tried a taco and it actually set very well with me. I had no problem at all. Of course I was only able to eat about 1/2 of a small taco but that's a good thing! The doctor told me to eat beef if that is what settles well. They do want you to get to eating food and not just shakes and cottage cheese lol. Anyway, the taco has been mine for about an hour and all is well. Yoo hoo!

Mel3620, what mexican are you having? I love mexican food! So much of what I like is cheese and high fat though Just looking for ideas. Thanks!

I can do one hard taco from Taco Bell no problem. Done it many times- use the mild sauce to make sure it's all very moist. I also did a chicken quesadilla once and was ok. I can eat the whole taco but did only half the quesadilla. I only tried the quesadilla once as its expensive and I waste half.

At Mexican restaurants I order one cheese enchilada and retried Beans. Depending on the portions I typically get 2 meals from that.

cheese enchiladas are my favorite. I forget we eat so little that it's not as bad as I am thinking. Thanks.

I just ate my ground turkey taco- went down good!! I got the smallest soft tortilla and cut about 1/4 off and then ate it. It was good!!!

They are my favorite too. That's how I figured it. I used to could eat 3 with the rice and Beans and of course the chips and queso. Now that was an awful meal. I'd also probably have drank a big margarita. Now it's half an enchilada and a couple bites of beans. Lol that's not enough to hurt me and I rarely eat out anyway. Just not worth the money.

I laughed because I'd normally eat a large taco and fries and I had half of a small taco. I really like this not being able to eat a lot. It's awesome! I just wish I could stay not hungry forever. That's the best!
