How long before others could eat bread. I am 9 months after surgery and still can't eat any breads etc

Im 6 months out and have recently had a bagel thin with light cream cheese and was able to tolerate it just fine. I kind of wish I couldnt but there hasnt been a food that Ive tried that I couldnt tolerate. I 'prefer' not to eat super dense foods because 1 bite and Im done but other than that, my little tummy is a trooper.

6 months out and bread is a no-no for me. If it's toasted it's not as bad but dense, spongy bread sits there like a lead weight and makes me feel vaguely queasy.

3 mos out. I have had toast and it was fine. I want to stay away from yeasty bread so I haven't even tried yet.

still can't eat any breads etc

to directly answer your question - how long after surgery could you eat bread????

my simple answer

I don't know!!!

my tummy hasn't found a food it doesn't like

i never had a prob with bread

i rarely have bread though, never Pasta

i always have found it strange that some/many people have trouble eating this or that, i never had any trouble eating anything

early PO (and even after) many many people say they can't tolerate eggs???

happily thats never been a problem for me

I will enjoy an egg salad sandwich sometimes

of course.............everything in moderation

good luck

I'm a month out. I can eat toast, crackers, the crust on quiche, and a small amount of damper (like crusty biscuits). I take the tiniest bites. I haven't tried plain non-toasted bread yet but haven't had a food I can't tolerate yet.

Almost 7 weeks out. Went out to lunch today and had about 1/5 of a salad and a small piece of bread. There is nothing my sleeve dosent like so far. So far! ;-(

I have had no pasta or rice so far- 3 mos out. I had whole wheat toast with no problems. I am not getting much down other than protein so far.

I think it depends on your doctor's plan as well as your body. I'm almost 11 months out and bread really doesn't appeal to me much. I still follow the "protein first" rule, and by the time I done eating my protein, there isn't much room left. (Except when we are talking about popcorn - and I try only eat the light stuff.) I still love the smell of fresh bread, but knowing that it will probably just sit in my sleeve as sludge keeps me from eating it. I do like the Special K Multigrain crackers. I can take 6-10 out of the box, put a little tuna salad on them and eat... but the box doesn't call out to me like, say, Wheat Thins. (I loved Wheat Thins pre-surgery.)

I was cleared to eat bread, rice, pasta at 4 months. I think I had a very small amount here and there at around 3 months, and tolerated it fine. I'm six months out now, and I rarely eat any bread, rice, or pasta, though. It's just high in calories and carbs, so I tend to avoid it. I used to eat breads of all kinds, all day every day before surgery. Loved to make homemade bread and slather it with real butter....lol, wonder how I got up to 300 pouonds? Anyway, to answer your question, I can tolerate, but I choose not to eat it very often. The only thing I've found doesn't sit well with me is eggs.

Why do so many of eat you eat carbs like rice and bread after a few weeks or months just because you can tolerate it? I'm of the understanding that sticking to Protein and then introducing healthy carbs like vegetables will get you to your goal faster and healthier.

Yes, sometimes I crave a bit of Pasta or even yogurt with fruit but staying in ketosis by avoiding sugar is so successful. And will be a healthier lifestyle down the line. Except for an occassional piece of birthday cake i swear I'll never go back to refined sugar and "white" carbs like rice and potatoes again!

Not everyone has the same eating plan. My nutritionist does not emphasize protein in the same way most do. He emphasizes a balanced diet. So by eating bread and other carbs, I am following the instructions of my bariatric team.

5 months out and still don't eat bread I've had a small piece and its too heavy in my stomach filled me up fast not worth eating it ..oh I haven't eaten any pasta or rice since being sleeved

Bread hasn't been an issue at all. And I'm only 3 1/2 weeks post sleeve. Can't stay in ketosis because I'm diabetic and get really ill. My dr has told me to eat a balanced diet. Lots of fruits, veg healthy carbs and some lean meats and fish. Haven't had white bread, just whole grain and only 1 slice max per day. Haven't had any pasta or rice but when I do it'll only be whole grain.

bread is okay but is nixed on my lower carb nutritional plan

3 mos out. I have had toast and it was fine. I want to stay away from yeasty bread so I haven't even tried yet.

I had G S on the 02-14-2013 I can eat bread but just not much I will be 60 years old this month I am losing weight so slow I have sugar and high BP so maybe that is why I am losing so slow" I really need help I seem not to have a bowel movement until I take a laxative and them only once or twice a week and that is only with a lax, I seem to stay in a stall one moment down 5 lb. and them up 4lb.
