I heard of it at a support group but have not tried it.

I do OK with whole wheat or whole grain. Not so good with white or french bread.< /p>

Forget bagels...ugh!

I have pretty much given up on bread too, I can have a very thin small piece of french bread if I toast on both sides, almost to be like a cruton, and tonight I tried a whole wheat thin Orowheat hamburger bun, I only used 1 side and toasted it and was able to eat some of it. At least it felt like a real hamburger. But for the most part bread is not my friend.

I only use hamburger Buns as handles. I tear them away as I eat. Every once in a while I can eat a little tiny piece of it to get a taste.

I feel like I am eating a hamburger that way. But I also have to be careful that I don't take too big of a bite. Eating with my hands can cause that. Sandwiches and burgers are especially bad for that!

I love it even though it's almost five dollar a loaf. But if you keep it in the freezer and only take out a serving at a time , it doesn't go bad. I wouldn't recommend leaving it out of the fridge.

Plus I can only eat it toasted because not toasted, I think it has too much of an earthy flavor and its so dense. But toasted with some pb or jelly or butter, yummy.

It rarely elevates my blood sugar and satisfies my bread urge. You can find it in most freezer sections in the bread area or in a health food store. It supposedly is made like they would make it in the bible days...au natural.

Scripture:

Ezekial 4:9

"Take wheat and barley, Beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself

I had given up on breads too- they ball up get dought and get stuck -

however at work the other day i didnt plan and didnt rbing anything. - A girl i work with has celiac so she uses all these gluten free , rice breads, she has this "english muffin" which looked more like a biscut - it was rice - she gave me half that I ate with tuna salad, , i was amazed at how well it went down, no pain, no sliming.. i felt like i actually ate a sandwhich, i talked with a nurse a work with and she said it was probably because it was wheat and gluten free and those are what cause the dough effect.. i am going to buy some and see if i have the same result.. they are even big enough to use as a burger roll!! If it was a freak thing and i cant eat them at least i know someone at work who can use it lol

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
