We have a favorite place we eat at, everyone knows our names and what we order. LOL I'm assuming that for a LONG time mexican food is out for me.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Mexican food (texmex) is my favorite. I've seen many post-ops posting that they eat it. Some avoid tortillas or chips because of the high carbs. Rice may be a problem because it can swell and cause problems in the pouch. Taco meat, fajita meat, refried beans, grilled veggies, etc. were all OK'ed by my nutritionist once I have progressed past soft foods. You could still probably order the chimi but mostly just eat the insides. You won't be able to hold very much and you'll need to focus on protein. in MI -- In GastricBypass-LOSERS , " jrmcswain2000 " wrote: > > My dh LOVES mexican food.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Be careful of the high salt/sodium and fat content. The salt will make you retain water. The high fat/lard in some Mexican dishes will make make people DUMP! Rice is something to be avoided. The torillas should be avoided as an early post op. Remember: many Mexican dishes are prepared in OIL!!! Calories count. I recommend losing as much weight as possible in your honeymoon period. Don't be so anxious to start eating whatever you want so soon after surgery. Food isn't going away. You can still have that Mexican dinner with your husband. It's the social outing and time with your husband that you should focus on NOT what you are going to eat! Have a bean burrito and don't eat the tortilla. Robyn > > My dh LOVES mexican food.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I know this isn't a BEST choice for me but I have been craving chips & salsa since surgery.I found that Tostito's makes Multigrain tortilla chips.It is a better version in a must have situation.Not that I am pushing this snack ;o) Kim > > > > My dh LOVES mexican food.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Nah I make chicken breast cut up and toss in a package of fajita seasoning. My kids also love it when I make a roll of ground turkey burger and taco seasoning. You can get high protein or veggy raps if you even need them. Mix the meat/seasoning up in a lot of lettuce, hordes of tomatoes, fat free sour cream, some medium or hot taco sauce, onions, etc. Loads of sodium is the only bad thing here and heck that's everywhere.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Oh I eat beans too sometimes. Forgot about that. I make a pretty good seafood chili mexican thing too. Sometimes it's damned spicy but that helps me to not eat as much if I'm panting and puffing from the heat. Mike in GR > > > My dh LOVES mexican food.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Baked chips aren't as bad. Still they're really not necessary if you make good mexican food and concentrate on eating the highest value chow. Avoid the fried chips. Chips are for suckers. They feel you up cheap. You're worth more than that, you're not going to eat much, eat the big money food. If eating out ask that they bring you meat or veggies instead of chips. Sure they'll charge you a couple bucks but they're not getting away with giving you crap even if it's free. I've never eaten the rice much either. I guess I've conditioned myself from chinese buffets to believe that rice is a scam designed to fill you up and keep you from eating the crab/shrimp and other expensive foods. It's the same reason I don't eat pasta much now either. > > > > My dh LOVES mexican food. He will eat it every day of the week if I > > let him.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Are they baked? Have nutrition data sheet you can share? Is there a website? I bought a bag of baked ones but the bags, even of these kinds, are so big I just get sick of them because I can only stomach one or two servings and then get bored after 2-3 of those. That usually leaves a couple left in the bag to get old/stale. Mike in GR > > > > > > My dh LOVES mexican food. He will eat it every day of the week > if I > > > let him.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I've been craving the same thing. That's one reason I posted the question to Mike about the soy crisps. Mostly I want the salsa but eating it with a spoon just isn't the same. I'm trying to find the best (or least bad) crunchy for dipping in the salsa. in MI > > > > > > My dh LOVES mexican food.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I usually order a steak or chicken soft taco and just eat the meat & cheese. I usually have a couple chips w/ salsa.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Hey Mike...Have you ever used the reduced sodium taco seasoning? That's what I bought before surgery and continue to use now. That regular stuff is WAY too salty for me.
