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.

I've heard the toast thing too. Thanks for that!

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?

      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.
