Spinach Wraps...or Any Wrap For That Matter



Recommended Posts

is this considered a soft doughy bread? has anyone attempted any sort of sandwich wrap since being banded. i have wanted to make a Breakfast burrito or sandwich with a wrap for about a week but do not want to get stuck or have any issues...i am totally trying to avoid bread of any kind (my weakness)...any feedback would be helpful...

I used a flat out bread to make a "pizza" it went down ok and when I made it I put it on a cookie sheet so it didnt get as crispy as I would of liked. Next time Im putting it directly on the oven rack. But I didnt have any problems with the flat out bread.

I have no problem eating a wrap. I found some small ones that are low carb, high Protein. I have also bought thin pita bread or bagel thins and made pizza out of those too, yum!

I've had wraps with no issues at all. I normally buy the small, whole wheat variety. They don't gum up for me the way a soft bread would.

Cannot eat wraps for various reasons.

One of which is I have to take very small bites and swallows. VERY small.

How do you do that with a wrap?

I will buy a wrap and dismantle it, and eat it a little piece here and there with a fork.

I cannot eat tortilla's.

I take small bites and don't have any problems. I don't have them often, but have never gotten stuck on them.I buy the small size tortillas and eat only 1. I did just make a pizza on 2 bagel thins the other day and no problem at all finishing the 2 halves.

i'VE had wraps with no problem. tuna on a wrap is great and i actually eat the tuna with a fork and part of the wrap. i find crispy bread like, flats, toast , etc. are easier than the soft doughy breads.

It depends on the time of day (before noon, it's out), and the type of day I'M having, but I'd usually say no to wraps. At least, the large ones that have to be folded over several times. If the wrap gets too layered, it becomes thicker. I think you have to try (carefully) and see. I was not told NOT to eat wraps, this is just what I've experienced.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
