What is your dietitian’s carb and Protein goals per day? Are you logging it in a food app to know how many carbs you eat in a day?

If you can tolerate it and you're not overdoing it, I'd say it's okay. I still can't eat bread, especially something soft like a tortilla or it gives me the foamies.

It depends on where you are in the process. I'd eat something like that *now*, but I wouldn't have the first few months post-op. Not that it's bad for you, but you don't have a lot of stomach real estate, and you have to get a lot of Protein in. A whole wheat tortilla has some nutritional value (i.e., fiber), but not a ton. That said, if you've already eaten it, fine - probably no harm done (unless you're REALLY early out).

I have been using the flat tostada. I eat chicken and tuna salad on it. I bought wheat and didn't use it, it spoiled before I could even try it. These tostadas stay good a long time.

If whole wheat breads are on your plan. The only way to eat "too much" is if you go over your calories and carbs for the day.

      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.
