Anyone having issues eating bread? I just can do them anymore..then and thick. Crackers I can eat...

I've read if you toast the bread it seems to work best...I haven't tried yet myself...

Bread is the one thing I see people having problems with most often. I can, but I have to take very small bites, chew it like crazy, and pause between bites. In fact, I've only ever PB'd twice in 9 months and both times it was on bread.

The toasting suggestion above is a good one. It helps many.

Mis - did the PB happen after you had been filled?

The only time I have trouble with bread is if it is cheap low quality. A higher quality and or whole grain bread is fine.

I have made some sandwiches using the thin rounds, toasted............not enought nerves yet to even try frest bread.

Yes, in fact the first time I ever PB'd was at Olive Garden on one of their breadsticks. It wasn't fun! It was about a week after the fill that put me into the Green Zone.

Thanks y'all, I see it is a issue for most. Surgery June 4 down 34 lbs!

I have not tried doughy, crusty breads. Rare occasions I have pizza, I rip the crust off. I'd rather not go there because I know my stomach will rebel!

I have no problems with pitas (LOVE Joseph's brand), toast, crackers, or sandwich thins.

I also have no problems with cakes or pie crusts.. unfortunately. lol

Seems to be pretty normal for most, i cant eat bread anymore either!

Breads are the devil now!! I was a bread and pasta junkie and cannot tolerate them. I promise you it's not worth feeling like your chest will explode or that stuck/ choking feeling. I had to suffer many a day/night til I left it alone. Don't need the carbs and empty cals anyway. I do tolerate cereal well and can eat crackers within reason, corn chips, muffins and other dense stuff like that hurt too.
