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 :)

      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.
