Topic: RE: My Bad! I ate tortilla chips (about 6) with my chili last night

I went to my favorite mexican restraunt yesterday for lunch with friends. I had 5 or 6 large tortilla chips with queso and 1 pc of quesidilla. (there were 4 triangles) I was so happy to have normal food, and eat it without issue, plus take home 3/4 of my plate - YEA ME!!

Topic: RE: 6 week appt

Wow, 6.5 inches off your waist! Now, that is exciting! Have you dropped a size or two? I tried on pants this afternoon and went from a 28 to 24. I'm really excited. I just wish I would have measured before surgery. I still need to measure, at least my waist and hips.

Topic: 6 week appt

Had my 6 week follow up today with my surgeon. I am down 28 pounds from my highest weight. I am not losing as fast as some of you guys but the dr was thrilled. I was released to eat all foods (no sweets or fried foods) and I lost 6.5 inches off my waist. I was pretty psyched about that.

I completely agree with you re: the "sanity" of it - the more normally I eat, the more normal I feel. I feel like I am on the road to recovery now and my insides must be healing.

I think that our ability to regain "normal" eating again is a sigh of success not failure. I am post of 12/15 and have had a few tortilla chips with no ill effects. I think the reintroduction of small amounts of crackers and such has only made me more sane but happier overall with my choice.Good luck

So I was like - let me see if I can do this. I had a cup of chili for dinner and at tortilla chips on the side. I waited for pain. Dumping. Nausea. Poops. And . . . Nuthin'. Wow, that was kind of a milestone for me. I haven't had anything really crunchy like that since my RNY on 12/9. I HAVE had a couple of Wheat Thins with tuna, but I chewed them well and there were no rough edges.

I have eaten it. It gives me gas. But it was so good though.

I have been eating them but only the protein parts....chicken fish no pastas or rice. I tolerate them just fine, the same with salads and cooked broccoli lol in response to your other post.
