ucjes 25 Posted December 28, 2013 so I'm a couple of days away from being 6 weeks out. I'm on soft foods and I've been eating a lot of fish, eggs, and rotisserie chicken. Tonight I'm meeting a friend for dinner. It will be the 1st time out to a restaurant since surgery. For some reason I'm nervous about it. We are going to Fuzzy's taco shop. I've already scoped out the menu and I'm going to get baja grilled shrimp soft taco or fish taco. I'm planning on just eating the shrimp and or fish because I'm not sure if I can eat corn tortillas. I know i'm supposed to stay away from breads til week 7 but i'm not sure about tortillas. Anyone know corn tortillas or ok to eat at this point? 1 Mama Spike reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted December 28, 2013 Tortillas are counted as a bread in my plan, but you may want to check with your own dietician to see what her/his rules are. Also, they really don't have a lot of nutritional value so IMO there's no point in trying to eat them. 1 LilMissDiva Irene reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planetheather 137 Posted December 28, 2013 I love Fuzzy's! We eat there regularly. I recommend the black Beans and/or I'll get a "taco" with 1 scrambled egg and a scoop of the pulled chicken--no cheese or tortilla. I had 1/2 of a corn tortilla for the first time Christmas day (15 weeks out). I really don't think I would have had one at 6 weeks out. I'm still not eating bread but for Christmas morning I broiled corn tortillas and made black bean tostadas for Breakfast and 1/2 of one was my treat for the holidays.

ucjes 25 Posted December 28, 2013 that sounds like a good idea. You can get Breakfast stuff at night there? Im leaving towards shrimp taco with no tortilla and maybe refried Beans. I'm not big on black Beans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not big on black Beans Our Fuzzy's serves their full menu all day. The pulled chicken is from the Chilequilas (my pre-op favorite thing to order).

penman53 493 Posted June 9, 2014 You can eat the fish taco and leave the shell. I do that when I eat chicken enchiladas or tostadas. I just eat the lettuce Tomato cheese and whatever meat is on it and just leave the tortilla. Carbs and fats are bad you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brenduski 7 Posted June 9, 2014 There are times that I can have a taco with tortilla and times it is just way too much for my tummy. But just one and it's probably the only carb I cheat on and that is once in a while. If you can tolerate it I'm sure you will be just fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
