I am just a week out but already missing my bread. When can we add in breads, crackers,bagels etc. I have read that a lot of people loose their tolerancce or need it toasted. I also would like to get some ideas on pizza recipes or kinda like pizza. How do most people do with tomatoe sauce

Like you I love bread! I was reading my manual last night (the book given to me by my surgeon's office) and it says in the mushy phase I can have well toasted bread like melba chips/toast. I know it's not a big hunk of sourdough bread but I'll take it Also, my doctor told me that I wouldn't necessarily lose my tolerance for bread it's just that because it's so doughy it would not only absorb any liquids in the new stomach it would make me feel really uncomfortable. I'm sure somewhere down the line I'll try bread, bagels, etc, but for now I guess the melba toast will have to do.

Even 11 months out of surgery I still can't eat but a few bitesof potatoes, bread or Pasta, it just fills my stomach to much. Crispier breads are easier but I like to stay away from the extra carbs. I have been eating thin crust pizza since I was 3 months out. I never had a problem with sauce. I like these magic pop crackers their 15 calories and 4 grams of carbs each and you only need one, there perfect for humas, salsa, pb and j. I love them and their easy to digest. You should get over missing the breads soon as your able to start having regular foods. Good luck with your recovery.
