I'm 6 weeks post off and need help, I've had one fill with 4cc and I want to try bread or a tortilla, or something!!! Any advice? Should I try it???

Try but chew alot of times.

be really careful.. my nutritionist said if you eat bread make sure it's toasted and eat it very slowly and chew alot... I only have 1.8 cc in my band and I can eat toasted bread but don't normally eat much.. I did have 1/2 piece of wheat toast this morning ..

I really wouldn't recommend bread or wraps at all. I agree with Sharpie about it being toasted if you have ANY bread. What did your nutritionist tell you about these types of food? Mine said "NO GO," especially if they are from WHITE flour. You run the risk of these getting stuck. (I eat whole wheat crackers, like mini Triscuit or the triangle Trisucit if I want something 'bread' like.)

dont see why not...like sharp and py said, chew alot

in my opinion, there are better food options than bread/tortilla's...

i use to LOVE tortillias fried and sprinkled with sugar.......um....

Check out Flat Out's, this is a more nutritional tortilla shell, higher fiber and lower carbs. They can be found in the deli section at Kroger and Wal-Mart. I like the light Italian myself, I have only been stuck on it once, but it was user error and I was eating too fast and not chewing enough.

I'm 6 weeks po - I can't do bread but wraps go down ok as long as i chew to oblivion!!

The only food I ever had come back up (as fast as it went down!) was a breakfast wrap from Dunkin Donuts! That was a few days after my first fill, and I suspect my stomach was still recovering from the swelling induced by the fill. I can eat Dunkin Donut foods now, but I have to be very careful to eat slowly, and chew, chew, chew... I'd be very careful with wraps if you haven't tried them yet.

I can do tortillas....

I buy the brand last tortilla factory brand. Has LOTS of fiber! I use for mini pizzas too

I agree with you, Carolina Girl, about there being better options. I know each of us have different directions given by our doctors and nutritionists, but I always chose/choose protein over bread/tortillas. It seems to me if something was a different consistency, like toasted bread, melba toast, crackers...it went down easier. ( It also sounded to me like she was craving carbs...)

My question is why? I have probably had a sandwich less than 5 x since I had my lapband, which is almost 4 years old. I have found other substitutes. Maybe a tortilla wrap will help you. Personally, I use rice cakes. Be careful eating most sandwich stuff like lunch meat. It will be hard to chew up. Good luck on your choices. Karen
