Re: Happy Meal/ Taco Salad*

[Guest guest]

I eat taco salad all the time. And have never had any troubles. But I use

ground beef.

[Guest guest]

I know I could have ground beef in like soups or spaghetti ok from early on.

But I am 8 months out and I still have a hard time eating a hamburger. It

just does not sit well. Sometimes I still have a hard time with chicken. I

cooked bratwerst burgers on the grill the other day and it set will..

How soon did you eat taco salad I would love to try it but not sure it would

be ok. I am 17 days post.

I was at least 3 months post op before I had it.

How far out from surgery are you?

I know at first I had a heck of a time with any beef. I was not able

to eat beef until about 5-6 months post-op. Chicken was ok but I

could only eat a couple of bites.

I had the most success from the beginning with fish/seafood. It

never made me sick and never made my pouch sore or gave me

indigestion.

Anyway, if you find something that works stick with it!

Thanks for the advise Kim. I have been afraid to eat lettice. I wasnt sure if

I would be able to digest it yet. One thing I found hard to that I can eat

something one day and not the next.

I am 5 weeks out, so no ground beef for me yet. Plus we always use

Tofu crumbles for tacos, etc
