I love Taco Bell. I Hate Taco Bell.



Recommended Posts

Que es "Fresco"?? I have never heard of it? Exactly what does it mean, Ira? Do they have it everywhere? Does it still taste like Taco Bell??

Yes, they have it everywhere, and yes it still tastes like Taco Bell. They use chopped Tomato, cilantro, and onion, in place of the sour cream & cheese.

I think it's a great alternative.

Hey Beanie,

Since being banded, I now order a reg taco and pintos n cheese and mix them up together. Not bad! I am not quite sure how many cals, but WAY less than I used to order at Taco Hell!

You are right Rene, ignorance is bliss - that's why I chose to not read it! :)

Rene, that's why I think banded life is so great. When my last fill was new (better restriction), I could eat about 3/4 of a taco. A couple of days ago I ate 1.5 taco - compare that to pre-band 2-3 tacos, potato oles, and one of those taco shaped ice cream things.......oops, I"m getting hungry now...Celeste

well, I think this is a good thing. Now we can be informed, now we know and can make better choices, as opposed to being a victim of our food choices

I look up the nutrition on everything I can now. Sometimes I look it up after I've been to a place and regret it, lol, but I always look. Sometimes I eat at taco bell anyway, but I know what I'm doin' when I go in. There's so much I always thought "wasn't that bad", *sigh*, lol.

It's the flour tortillas that kill you.

Stay away from anything with the flour tortillas (even if they are grilled). That's why the crunchy tacos and the tostada are a better nutritional choice.

See, that's just what I mean. I have mindlessly eaten 4 or 5 items at a shot on my worst days. Since only TWO of the items I eat run almost a thousand calories - that would explain A LOT about my girlish figure.

I never would have thought that TWO items would be a thousand calories. It simply boggles the mind....

That's like when I was stopping by Sonic every other day for a blaster, OMG, blast my ash, that lil ol cup had over 900 calories. Needless to say, I don't do blasters anymore. I sure do miss them tho.

I never really liked Taco bell i just really like sour cream and cheese (on everything!).... thats terrible right? lol... I use to love Micky Ds but now its easy to avoid. but 2 night ago i caved and ate a 4piece chicken mcnugget happy meal. I cant eat bread or i feel the horrible pain in my chest so double cheese burgers are out... and more then one small bite of tortilla is chest pain too.

Ahhh all horribly fattening foods... Why do they taste so good?

Taco Bell...so being a dumb Aussie here I guess it is a place you get tacos. I make my own with lean mince salad and sauce. It healthy and low in fat. Half of those things you guys have mentioned I have never even heard of. Sounds yummy tho :)

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
