I love menudo! Even after surgery, however its a little fatty for me now so I cant eat very much before my tummy says no more. Sometimes the texture of the tripe grosses me out (never did before) my taste buds have become very texture sensitive. When that happens I just skip the tripe part and eat the rest. Please heal a few more weeks before you try it tho.
There is NOTHING off-limits post VSG...that's why most of us had it! lol
Now you babygirl...must be patient to have many things! Those food funerals, and buyers remorse type issues will be OVER before ya know it!! Menudo is one thing you'll need to wait on...It'll be there waiting for you too...for the rest of yer life!
Store bought Juanita';s is like a salt lick!....Do ya make it?....absolutely WAIT then cuz your tastes and SMELLs are so HEIGHTENED just post VSG....and if ya ever made menudo you know them tripas can clear out an entire CITY BLOCK!...lmao...Im keedin! Lotsa rinsing and hours of cooking it...aye aye aye!
I enjoy menudo...ONLY the WAY I MAKE IT! my DH (guerro...he not white he's really PINK!) ...and two grown kids...beg me every so often to make it....my kids were raised on it....we all prefer the tripas cut in tiny pieces...do you know how painstaking that is? I tell em forget it...make a sandwich! lolol
Post op I'll make a big ole pot...they eat the hominy...I pick most of it out!
I AVOID starchy foods..inc CORN and hominy... Yeah I know Im trippin...but the caldo and tripas...oh yeah my mouth is watering now...see what you did!
Menudo is very high fat! If you have yer gallbladder...during the rapid weight loss phase...ya may wanna LIMIT yer fats!....the hominy up there in carbs...but absolutely YOU WILL have MENUDO again and again and again in yer lifetime!
Another thing ...do you like POSOLE? I'll make chicken or turkey posole...sometimes throw in some pigsfeet (my kids don't like it I do!!) ....SUPER HIGH PROTEIN!! much lower fat...xlnt during winter!
HANG IN THERE MICH...you will enjoy all foods ...tho no where near in the amounts you had em before.... PATIENCE huh...get through ALL THESE dietary phases first!!

Pozole of course, thank goodness I was afraid my new stomach wouldn't hang. Yes I make my own dont like to buy cause they usually dont take the fat off y mi da asco. I cook mine with meat tenderizer to get n nice n soft.
Yes I definitely will be waiting I don't want to make myself sick 4 kids no time for that.
Good thing you mentioned pozole my kids love it n I make it often. My neice does chicken but I'm faithful to puerco.
Thanks everyone
