You should be able to eat any bread as long as it's toasted. I just feel better not eating bread so I don't. You'll just have to experiment & find a brand you like. If I want a "sandwhich" I have a lettuce wrap- romaine is perfect for it! Good luck.

I would love to know that myself! I can't have any kind of bread toasted or not :( I haven't had a sandwich in months! If you find a good one please let me know!

i buy those thin bagles. they are super thin and i think 100 calories. I have never gotten stuck eating one of them. I toast them for a sandwich or put a little garlic and "spray butter" on them and krisp them up in the oven for garlic bread. mmmmm also a pita pocket is a good choice. I can do most breads toasted.

I eat mini whole wheat Bagels toasted, whole wheat breads, and thomas' english muffins (all toasted) I am fine as long as its toasted. I like to keep my breads in the toaster oven and get it crunchy by just letting it cook a little longer. Whole wheat pita breads are great sliced in halfs and toasted. You should have no problems with eating toasted breads at all.

I was banded 2 1/2 years ago and can only tolerate toast about once every six months. Ok that is a choice and I am good with it, but I still cannot eat/digest the majority of meats out there! Nothing ground, and nothing roasted EXCEPT the occasional piece of pork! Anyone else have this problem? I basically live on Soup, a fried egg or the occasional salad. If I try to discuss this with my provider they immediately want to xray. I have done this all is normal but does anyone else have such a poor diet?

It sounds like you are living on "sliders". Your band is probably too tight. You are probably hungry so you think it's too loose but it's actually the opposite. If you are so restricted you can't keep down solid Protein you won't feel satiation. Listen to your dr. Read the threads in "complications" & you'll see the long term problems a too tight band can cause Trust me - you will feel so much better. Good luck.

Morganjm & Tere1985...I've only been banded since 9/7/12 but I have only eaten lo-carb tortillas for use as bread. I usually make a cheese or sausage n cheese quesadilla. Yesterday I made a tuna melt. If you haven't already, give it a try. Good luck!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
