I haven't tried paleo bread yet, but I bought a paleo cookbook called Well Fed. It seems to me that the paleo way of eating fits in pretty well with our post-op guidelines. We've made a few things so far & all were good. Last week, my hubs actually made the olive oil mayo from the book & it is amazing. I've used in several different things this week already.

Well you are free to eat anything you want, BUT make it Protein first, then fruits and veggies, and then, if you have any room, carbs (even complex ones). "Anything" includes a buncha stuff that you want to still avoid to lose weight, IMHO.

I do realize this. I assumed with us all having a new lifestyle everyone would know what I meant. I didn't mean I was going to go have chili cheese fries or a funnel cake. Thanks for the advice though. I am still having a rough time getting in all my Proteins since I can't drink a Protein drink- they make me sick. So, I do eat my protein first at all of my meals each day. I am just scared to eat anything at this point!

Well damn I was just going to suggest chili cheese fries for your protein! :P

I'm assuming you wanted paleo bread just to eat? Not necessarily protein?

Bread sits real heavy and swells in the stomach so I'm not sure about it at this point but, you can always try.

Paleo the new buzz word in diets so be aware of the marketing of paleo items such as bread..

As far as protein you seem far enough out that the shakes can be sidelined, I eat a Fage 2% daily with stevia or Splenda and frozen blueberries for 20 grams of protein.

Plenty of high protein foods out there!

Paleo bread made with mostly almond meal should be okay. Coconut flour can be very very absorptive. It is also tremendously high in Fiber. Not sure which recipe that one is. I do paleo and haven't done alot in the bread section, so can't help there. But do be aware of the flours qualities. Most paleo bread is going to be high in Protein and fat, lower carb. But can be a potential carb bomb if heavy in sweeteners like honey, etc.

This particular one doesn't have any sweetener in it and is made with almond flour.

As long as you don't have trouble eating almonds :D Since almond meal is just ground up almonds. I wouldn't think it would be harmful as far as expansion goes. Just make sure the rest of the ingredients aren't expansive. Since the "white" stuff is usually refined wheat/grain based foods and high in carbs, I don't think paleo bread is really a "white" food, if you see what I mean.

Was that clear as mud or what? Hope it makes sense. I usually equate white foods as processed foods. If you are eating paleo, you are NOT eating processed. Feel so much better eating this way.

      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.

      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!!
