Tortillas - what's better and what can you handle?



Recommended Posts

I come from a HUGE Mexican/Italian family and they love to cook traditional food. I have done good as far as finding substitutions for the Italian food, but there are just some Mexican dishes where you need a tortilla. What is the best one? Whole wheat or corn? What do you find works best ad far as settling in your pouch?

I eat carb balance tortilla by mission. I have no problems w/it.

I use it mainly to make turkey roll ups for lunch.< /p>

I've tried Mission's Carb Balance, La Banderita's Fat-Free Soft Taco Tortillas, and La Tortilla Factory's Low Carb Whole Wheat Tortillas. I have tolerated all three just fine. I use them to make chicken tacos and turkey wraps. La Tortilla Factory is what my nutritionist recommended, but it was a bit too hard and crunchy for me.

As far as choosing one over the other, I look for the best balance between carbs, fat, and Protein. Since they're almost all low in fat and Protein, the decision usually goes to whoever has the lowest carbs while still looking soft and yummy.

Mission's Carb Balance works for me. Very satisfying and slow to digest.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
