I had tuna and low fat mayo on one 1 1/2" by 3" rye cracker. I couldnt eat it all LOL!!!!! I gave the last 2 bites to my dog!!!!!AMAZING!!!!! Yesterday was my first solid food day!!!! I ate kim chee rolled around home canned albacore tuna for dinner and a pickle. Today I wanted to test my pouch. I bought a Taco Bell crunchy taco with meat cheese lettuce and a dollup of sourcream in it.(1/2 thin corn totilla shell wasnt too carby) One teeny tiny taco!!!!! I could only eat half of it!! HALF A FREAKIN TACO!!!! I was plumb full you guys!!! I could put away 6 of them 3 months ago!!!!
I'm not trying to pour cold water on your success... but I'm wondering if it wouldn't also be a great thing for you to explore a new relationship with food.
You have a golden opportunity to retrain your mind and your body. Eating fast food tacos... while only a half... doesn't "buy" you anything. Sure, it was only a little, but now is your time to rethink and retool. Use it wisely.

Thanks for your kind concern. Not to worry. My mind is retrained. I dont frequent fast food places. After 3 months of sucking things through a straw and never knowing what full really was I wanted something to crunch and it was a test. Cottage cheese was tested but it disappeared instantly. I used to eat 6 of those tiny things. It made me cry!!! I couldnt believe how small my new tummy was.
Believe me. At $14,000 in, I am not going to even screw this up. The carb count on half a taco was incredibly low since I ate the equivalent of 2 large tortilla chips in shell. I'm the girl who has dieted all her life. I have LC'ed on and off for 5 years so I know how to do this. Im actually glad that this kind of WLS requires LC, the low fat is what I am not used to. It is a bit of a challenge as I ate butter and fatty meats. I think I will do a lot of lean meats like chicken, white fish, tuna. Along with that comes the dry meat though so I will have to figure out ways to make it "go down good" I will get through this though. My hope is to be a minimum of 150 lbs thinner by this Christmas.

laureen, did you doctor tell you what to start with when you started solids? do you have a support group with others who have had the same surgery?
do not kid yourself about already being "retrained" or that $$$ will keep you from going off track. recovery from eating disorders is a life time effort ODAAT. (one day at a time)

The mere fact that you chose a taco the first day you could eat solids should raise a red flag within you.
You cannot retrain yourself without real awareness. A lifetime of dieting and food issues cannot be retrained in 3 months of an enforced liquid diet.
The recidivism rate of WLS is pretty high... We're all pulling for you, but the numbers on the scale should not be your only measure of success.
You've taken drastic steps to give yourself a chance... Look far deeper than the scale.
All the best,
Jennifer

What's so evil about a taco? Meat, cheese, lettuce in a little bit of corn shell, sounds pretty healthy to me. I got some of the La Tiara LC tacos and fix them for dinner sometimes, I put in tomato as well, salad and protein all in one. My SO who never much liked tacos likes these.

Crunchy corn shells soaked in grease are not low carb.

The best way to describe it would be fermented or marinated/pickled cabbage. It's has a strong amount of garlic, ground red pepper and salt...........
