I've been eating the occasional corn tortilla since about 3 months out. Corn is a complex carb and I think they're fine in small quantities.

Yay, what my queen sister says. I just didn't eat pizza crusts or flour/corn tortillas much until I was about 6 or 7 months out. What I would like for you to take away from my mention of 2 1/2 years is that things change as time goes by, in the food toleration area. Some things I couldn't eat but now I can and others I couldn't eat and I still don't. (that list is very small)

HI MzJojo, I always have the fajitas and just eat the fillings and leave the tortilla. My fav is the citrus fire shrimp & chicken fajitas with the yummy onions and bell peppers. I eat all of that with extar guac and sour cream and I find I don't miss the tortillas at all. You guys are making me hungry now, it;s not fair, we don't have great mexican food here in London!!!

we got a new mexican restaraunt near by and my daughter LOVES it!  She told me that I should go and try it, but my excuse (for now lol) is that it isn't worth it for me to order something and throw away the outsides....she told me that this restaruant (it is a chain but I cannot think of the name of it) serves their items "naked" you can get a fajita or burrito "naked" just the insides, with no shell.  I was SHOCKED..now I have to go and try this place....lol  they also do vegetarian dishes, so when my oldest is home, we can go out as a family and everyone can eat what they want  to!  :)  Maybe you can get something "naked" at the place you are going?????

I always get a half order of chicken nachos w/extra cheese!  Hold the chips.  Sides of guacamole and sour cream.  There's chips on the table so I am able to control how many/much I each of those.  This usually lasts several meals and I always lose weight!

Meat!  Cheese!  Plenty of them!

I eat some of my sandwiches (especially PBJ) rolled up in low-carb (4 net grams) whole wheat tortillas and have no issues at all.
