My favorite type of food is Mexican food . I love French fries but have found a healthy way to still have them will I ever be able to enjoy a burrito (kids size) lol or chicken tacos again ? Are they loaded with carbs. Just a question I'm not saying I'm going to do it or anything so please dont judge me.

Oh I love this topic! lol

I had some soft shell chicken tacos but noticed that the corn tortillas filled me up so I don't eat all the tortilla anymore and it is usually one taco. A burrito on the other hand just can't do it. I think it is the flour tortilla but I have to eat the insides and leave the tortilla and also no rice. What is the healthy way for french fries?

If you make tacos or burritos at home, you can use a low-carb flour tortilla.

I just do Mexican food without any kind of tortilla or shell. Just as good if you ask me!

@@Babbs So true. Even before my surgery, I would make tacos and the kids would have them in shells and I would usually put the filling on top of lettuce like a taco salad.

I don't even mess with the tortillas anymore. Because I don't eat enough as it is (nor do I get enough protein) I try to eat the essentials only. I just get full so fast.

I actually made chicken tacos for dinner about 2 days ago. I put the meat in a bowl with some cheese, it was great and I didn't even miss the tortilla.

I just got Chipotle the other night and it was awesome. No rice or tortilla, just a burrito bowl. I got 4 delicious meals out of it!

Substituting a piece of lettuce as a tortilla is quite delicious. I love to eat Thai chicken lettuce wraps and look forward to using lettuce in place of all types of bread (buns, tortillas, etc).

So, at Chipotle, you can get double everything except meat for free. I get no rice, double Beans, double fajita veggies, barbacoa, extra cheese, sour cream, salsa and it's delicious! For me, too, it's 4 or 5 meals and I enjoy every bite.

When i go out to the Greek gyro place, I order a chicken gyro and instead of fries they substitute steamed veggies. I always take off the pita bread and eat some of the chicken and veggies. Bring a lot home for two more meals. I love Greek gyros

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
