Will I Ever Be Able To Eat Bread Again?



Recommended Posts

I heard that breads and doughs will get stuck or they will be difficult to swallow, but is there ever a point where I'll get past this? I'm 3 weeks post-op and I feel weak with the diet and more light headed and dizzy than ever before, which is keeping me from working my second job. I know I'll be able to eat different foods later on, but Jello, apple sauce, tapioca, popsicles, cream of wheat and mashed potatoes are getting on my nerves! I've never had this much sweet food in my life!

Yes, you will be able to have bread again. You may find that once you can, you've lost the taste for it. I'm at 14 weeks, and it's one of the few things that my sleeve doesn't tolerate well. Hang in there. Stick with your diet, good things are coming!

The answer is yes and No. Early on you will not be able to., but i would say after .3 months you will be fine. i am 11 months out and tolerate all foods fine.

I was cleared for occasional 1/2 piece of whole wheat bread at 4 weeks, i tried it yesterday at 6 weeks, with my egg whites and didn't reaally care for it. Bread was always my weakness and I am thrilled that I didn't enjoy it! Now I know that I am not missing anything.

I also hated eating sweetened everything in the beginning, try Soup or greek yogurt with a little salt & pepper...gives it an entirely different taste.

It's weird because I have no desire to eat soup. I tried chicken broth and it was absolutely horrible. I will give yogurt a try though. :)

If you are cleared from your doctor, try the eggface ricotta bake or pureed cauliflower with chicken stock & a little dry ranch seasoning. Both are awesome. Also, I bought some frozen greek yogurt pops w/ honey this weekend that aren't too sweet. I'm 4 months out and have had bread in small qtys- few bites of pita bread, a mini yeast rolls, a hawaiian roll, and 1/2 a wheat flatbread toasted. I had no issues but bread is my kryptonite so I try to avoid it.

It seems like about 75% of sleevers tolerate breads with no troubles. I have had 1 slice of toast daily for the last 9 months :-)

Eggface ricotta bake... Is there a recipe online for that?

I tried a flour tortilla last night, but I got full extremely quick. :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
