I had a half piece of whole grain toast with peanutbutter on it this morning and it didnt bother me any.. I assume something like that, or a wheat wrap or small flour tortilla shouldnt hurt in moderation.

I eat the double Fiber bread if I choose to eat a sandwich, and I toast my bread My sleeve doesn't like flour tortillas at all. I don't really tolerate the spinach wraps that well either.

flour tortillas are on my NUT's very short "never again" list. They tend to make small dough balls that don't digest well.

I love those sandwich thins. I think they are perfect. I always get the whole wheat, and only use half.

I live the sandwich thins but has anyone tried soft corn shells? I love them and hope I can eat them after my surgery at some point. I like to put cheese in them for a snack.< /p>

Everyone is different. At about four months out I started eating little half sandwiches on those thin rounds and it was an awesome way to up my carb intake and help me have more energy.

I am two years out and cannot eat more than one or two bites of tortilla without feeling sick. I can eat tortilla chips but the corn or flour tortillas themselves get stuck and refuse to move. Same with Pasta and rice - I can only do a few bites of each. bread isn't an issue but it's very filling.

Toast seems to go down easier, so if you have trouble with the rounds as they are, try toasting them first.

My friend who is almost 1 year post-op uses the hungry girl flat bread to make her own homemade pizzas. Once I'm allowed more foods, I'm gonna have to try those.

I'm gonna ask my doc about the bagel thins aty follow up next week, cos I love the everything ones toasted with one wedge of laughing cow soft cheese spread on top. Of course I know that I won't be able to eat the whole thing but I can make one & cut up in small pieces & save the leftovers for later.

I have no trouble with any bread, or tortillas, unfortunately. I also use the sandwich thins to make sandwiches, cut in half and save the other half for later. Great vehicle for meat and cheese and veggies :rolleyes: You'll notice both the whole wheat and mutigrain ones are both high in fiber and protein....very good stuff!

Stupid question...what is a sandwich thin...

I don't think I've seen them. Is it a cracker or a type of bread?

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
