If you do a search you will find lots of different topics on bread.

But to answer, not until 4 months out at least. It makes me extremely full and actually makes me kind of sick. It expands a ton in your stomach so I would definitely stay away until you are very far along and healed. Most don't even touch it until they are maintaining.

I don't eat many sandwich type foods anymore. I eat just about everything in the form of a wrap by using leafy green veggies like romaine lettuce or on occasion a whole wheat tortilla. If you do eat bread, try to keep it whole wheat but any bread eats up daily allowance for carbs and it feels your stomach up fast.

If you're a huge bread fan, that is what helped put you in this situation to begin with. Avoid bread like the plague. I can't believe you asked this.

Perhaps you're right and I overreacted.

If you read her question correctly, she's asking about healthy substitutes.

i was serious about the tortilla.. it won't expand in your stomach & you can get low carb, whole wheat ones.

the other person who recommended whole wheat is right..

if you want "healthy" then you could try sprouted breads or ezekiel bread.< /p>

here's a recipe on making sprouted grain bread:

you could also make flax crackers & instead of chips, make "kale chips"... you'd need a dehydrator, though... but they're healthier. :)

Tortilla, wraps, and wonton wrappers. I am 11 weeks out and I have had bread and it doesn't make me sick. I just make other choices since I get full really quick. I can't eat all of my Protein if I have it. I would only eat a little and see how you feel.

Some one had a recipe for I think cloud bread made with cottage cheese people who have made.it said out was good tasted like bread made with egg whites hopefully someone will post it. And on another note once again someone asked a question and was jumped all over I do not think anyone wants to gain back their weight but we do need to continue on with our normal lives. This board is getting old with so many negative, judgmental people

I agree with peacequeen re: My carbo-phobic mum likes iceberg lettuce, she uses them as little scoops for chow mein or antipasto etc..I'm a proteiny person normally although I've recently started experimenting with carbs, they make up about 40% of my intake at the moment and I found my favourite crunchy bread-stitute is ryvita whole grain crisp breads. Of course they'd be for later on, I just thought of them... Ummm other than that try the recipe section I suppose...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
