I'm Afraid of Bread...



Recommended Posts

I'm almost 5 years post sleeve and even nowi just don't eat yeasty bread much because it does seem to "puff" up. It never hurt, but made me feel full very fast. I can eat Middle Eastern flat bread. Pasta also fills me up fast too. Listen to your body, if you feel full, then you are. Stop eating when you get that feeling. I used to love love love bread but now it does not bother me not to eat it.

I can now add Reduced Fat Triscuits with Laughing Cow cheese to my list of "food bricks".

This may be worse than Pasta and I only ate 2 crackers!!!

:angry:

I can eat more wheat thins then triscuits... But don't have problems with none of the crackers. I make sure I don't exceed 6 wheat thins though.. And they aren't a slider for me

I tried bread today. Rosemary and olive oil crusty bread, dipping it in broccoli and cheese Soup. Yummy but full almost immediately.

I do 1 slice is Sara Lee 40 calorie wheat bread, so a half sandwich, usually tuna, egg salad or pb&j. It's very filling, but doesn't always hurt me. Toasted sometimes helps. I can do whole wheat Pasta and brown rice, but not often. I usually make a Breakfast rice, with bacon and eggs for some extra Protein. I have no problem with tortilla chips and salsa, but have to be very careful with a tortilla. Usually do carb smart wheat tortillas and they are small but can only eat 1.

I tried bread again today and it didn't work out. I broke up a small piece into my stew... Almost instant discomfort.

Bread and Pasta are a no go for now. It's probably best.

me too. I love the Kashi crackers instead , small, easy to digest. i try to bite a third of a cracker at a time. sometimes i put laughing cow light chipotle cheese spread- very low in calories. serves as a reasonable snack mid day.

      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?

        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!
