I'm Afraid of Bread...



Recommended Posts

I'm afraid to try to eat it. I'm afraid of sliming or throwing up. I'm afraid of pain. I'm afraid it will go down easy and my food addict brain will pounce.

Pasta hurts. Low carb. Whole grain. Regular. One to two bites and it hurts. I suspect bread dull beg the same.

The closest I've come to bread is a low carb tortilla. It takes me 45 minutes to finish it when I make my Breakfast wrap.

I gave up bread years before surgery but by that I mean I didn't eat it routinely. Once in a while as a splurge. What I've come to realize since the surgery is there is little to no nutritional value in bread. Anything it gives us in the way of carbs, there are better ways to get those carbs. I do hope some day I can have some of my fresh baked bread with Brie or hot bread with butter melting into it, but I too am afraid of eating it for ALL if the reasons you mention. Mainly that I will have no problems with it. Ugh.

I'm 2.5 months out & I have no problems eating anything. I wish I couldn't get Pasta or bread down! Therefore, it's back to abstaining from both & I adore both. I'm Italian so pasta is "my" thing. Selfish me can't even make it for my family anymore since I want it too. Don't be upset that you can't eat "evil" food ~ haha! That's what I call it now!

I'm trying to think of it as a blessing. I may try the Quest Pasta or zucchini pasta.

Did someone mention 'bread'. Hot, buttered, fresh bread? Oh dear lord... <passes out on the floor with a thud in a reverie of ecstasy>

I make a loaf of raisin almond Breakfast bread for my annoyingly athletic and skinny husband every week. It's my penance and my get out of jail free card. No one can yell at me for anything if I make it, have to smell it baking and don't eat any.

A friend of mine told me about Explore Asian black bean and mung bean pasta. He swears they taste like regular but they have an obscene amount of Protein in them, like 24 gms or something silly. I haven't found anywhere close that sells them, he got his from whole foods.

I am horrified by bread and Pasta. I'm 6 weeks out and honestly the variety of food I eat is so minimal bc I LOATHE pain. I avoid anything I think might hurt. Bead and pasta scare me so I fear I may never eat it again. As far as weight goes I guess that's a good thing lol, but a buttered roll would probably be amazing :/

I see Amazon sells it.

I saw it there but it's not free shipping with prime and I have to buy six packs so I'm dithering :P

I was hoping someone had tried it and could report back. We're currently making zucchini "noodles" and cucumber noodles with the Paderno slicer that Amazon sells so I'm not missing Pasta. What I miss is rice. I mean, I'm Asian, of course I miss rice! :)

Ok so at the risk of sounding ignorant, how does zucchini spaghetti work?? Where do you get it? How does it taste?

so you buy something that will make "noodles" out of zucchini. Mine is a Paderno, phoenix79 has a Gefu. Both are available on Amazon for around $30. Search for the brand name and julienne and you will find.

You put in a zucchini, and turn the crank and voila! Long, slurpy strands of "noodles"! Wok-cook them until the moisture evaporates, season with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and they are crunchy and yummy. Cucumber ones you don't even need to cook.

My husband is going to make a video (one of these years!) and I will let you know when we post it.

The Paderno does tornado potatoes and one other shape (which my son loves, cooked in the microwave).

Oddly enough rice doesn't "hurt". I fill up fast, but no pain like Pasta.

Pasta lands like a brick, instant discomfort.

Smart move!

I've yet to find anything I can eat effortlessly although the oatmeal chocolate Atkins bar comes close.

So I've adopted your same logic with that Atkins bar.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
