KristenLe 5,979 Posted September 5, 2016 @@sc101071 I'm fairly certain taco shells aren't on there. Taco shells could cause complications. Many plans are different and we should be following our own plans or questioning changes with our own surgeon. Depending on what your idea of a taco - I would not be allowed lettuce or Tomato at 3 weeks. I would only be allowed pureed meat, melted cheese and sour cream. So my answer would be - no I can't have tacos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

northcountyr1 199 Posted September 5, 2016 How about some nice refried Beans, a little cheese and a little salsa?

So my answer would be - no I can't have tacos. I wasn't allowed veggies until well past 6 weeks and even then, my NP frowned on anything like lettuce as it contains so little nutrients. Tomatoes and anything else with seeds was also a no no. FOR ME. Beans and cheese? YUP. Sour cream? Absolutely (but I used plain greek yogurt instead). meat and veggies? Not quite yet... But again. FOR ME. I even have that disclaimer in my signature. You know, so I don't come across as SMUG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaMergs 2,854 Posted September 5, 2016 Odd thing? My NUT who is very strict, makes no restriction on full fat products- dressing, sour cream, mayo, BBQ Sauce etc. Her opinion on Condiments is that because of the small volume of food we consume, we aren't eating THAT much of a particular condiment, so have at. Her opinion is regular dressing tastes better so enjoy the scant teaspoon you will likely need. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing I really watch is sugar and carbs. Full fat tastes better, keeps me full longer and is much more satisfying. Bring on the fat and bring on the flavor!!

Tami_Lynn 77 Posted September 6, 2016 I too eat full fat everything, it's more natural not as many carbs either. They add "flavorings" in the form of carbs to "low fat" or "light" to give it taste. Sent from my VS985 4G using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patchakc 45 Posted September 6, 2016 Ok so crazy story. I am 2 weeks preop. I was in the hospital all of Labor Day weekend. So while there I watch my 600 pound life. The whole show she was addicted to Mexican food. I sat there for 2 hours watching that. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I have not had a craving for anything till then. So on our way home yesterday I stopped at Taco Bell got a regular taco scooped out a tiny bit of meat tasted great. Got home 15 minutes later and was in the bathroom for an hour. So yeah I'm over tacos. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
