Why is bread such a no-no? I get the calories and carbs, but is there a digesting issue?

I'm told it will make us full faster making no more room for other food if consuming with bread..differs for everyone my friend is 4weeks post op and she can eat 1/3 of a 6in subway

I was told we could eat if it was toasted. Regular bread expands in the stomach.

bread pasta and pizza will expand. If I am craving pasta I overcook it and onlly eat 1oz portion and it still takes me forever to eat it. I either add clams or chicken for the protein. Pizza still bothers me. I eat the topping off of it and that is it. I have not eaten one piece of bread since surgery

I have almost no issues with eating. I can pretty much eat anything. I haven't had any vomiting or nausea -- not even in the hospital.

But I don't eat bread.

And I used to love bread. Since surgery, it fills me up very quickly (less than a single piece), and it hurts to be that full.

I can eat toast or hardened bread types, but even then, I don't eat a lot of it.

I am almost 10 weeks out and can eat bread. I don't eat much though because it takes up valuable space in my tummy that I would rather fill with something else.

I wouldn't and haven't touched it since way pre op! Along with rice, cereal, pasta, ANY kind of baked floury thing. I read over and over it slows weight loss- and it's not safe for ME to have those things at all.

I have lost 65 lbs- all post op since May 15. Lost 4 lbs pre op- so a total of 69 lbs. I think the no refined carb thing works best for me
