In mid-December, I will be 6 weeks post op. Just found out today that our clinic Christmas party is going to be at a Mexican food restaurant. Mexican food is my favorite! I am highly dedicated to this journey and following my diet. I just need suggestions on what to order. A few co workers know I had surgery, most know I've been dieting. Of course I will stay away from chips and salsa. Although I know I will only be able to eat a small amount, I want to make a healthy choice. My husband already knows I will be bringing him home most of my meal. Should I order a shrimp taco and just eat the insides, no shell? Grilled chicken with a few bites of fajita veggies? I would love to know what you would do.

Ceviche! Pre op, that's been my favorite thing to order at my local Mexican restaurant. I would even mix in some of the salsa for a little kick.

But I'm still in the puréed phase now, so none of that for me for a little while longer.

Toppings of nachos, insides of tacos and enchiladas, guacomole, fajita meat and veggies, refried Beans, tortilla Soup. Mexican food is a staple here in Texas and there are lots of options!

I like the idea of fajitas, just don't eat the tortillas.

At six weeks I was still on puréed foods. Soup, or maybe a side of refried Beans with cheese might be a good choice.

Thank you everyone for your WONDERFUL suggestions! Fajita meat and veggies it is. Mrssoupmix - I will be on regular foods by then. I start soft foods this Thursday. I've been on puréed for the past two weeks. I will chew, chew, chew and take my time.

At 6 weeks, I was loving refried Beans with cheese. Make sure that fajita meat is nice and moist, that will be good, too :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
