Problem with bread?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I noticed that a lot of people have problem with bread. Obviously it's mushie and sticky so i can understand a problem, but what about a sandwich wrap. Has anyone had a problem with a wrap? Just curious, just started my mushies phase but daydreaming about regular food:)

I had a sandwich wrap from Arbys, and it just about killed me. If you try them make sure you take it real slow.

I find I like bread and particularly sandwiches toasted anyway. I hate regular sandwiches, I'd starve to death before I ate one voluntarily but I'm really hoping toasted sandwiches, toasted wraps and crispbreads are still possible.

I can't do fresh bread. So I was excited to try Subways wraps. Nope, first try stuck. Okay, waited a week, then tried again even slower.... NOPE! Wraps are out for me too. However, I can do a crunchy taco!

Thanks all, The one thing I have really learned on this great site is that everyone is so different on what causes PB's. I guess I will have to find out what is ok with my band. :D

I've had my first fill and am 6 weeks post opp, I've been eating bread, tortillas, potatoes of all kinds etc and have not had a single problem. I wonder if it's how much you chew each bite. I chew the heck out of my stuff, in fact my food is usually a very mushie consistency before I swallow. I think the point above is very valid. It is totally different for every single person. Just take it slow, one bit and chew, chew, chew, chew. . . and when you think you are done chewing, chew some more. :-) Cheers, you are at the beginning of a very awesome journey!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
