I'm Afraid of Bread...

[Beach Lover 1,084]

It scares me to try it also. I am afraid there will be a lot of discomfort. I don't need it and there is enough 20/20 hindsight on here for me to follow. I have tried a few bits of things that are carb loaded and they honestly do make me want more. It is a true addiction for me so I have to stay away. Bummer for me but maybe later on down the road after I have gotten past some of these triggers I can handle it.

I feel like if I try it it'll just put me in a nasty slippery slope of eating it all the time and I absolutely don't want that to happen. That is exactly what got me in this situation in the first place :/ I see the nutritionist and surgeon on Wednesday so I have so questions for them. I pretty much live off of Greek yogurt, Dutch chocolate Isopure, low sodium deli ham, naturally slender cheese, Oscar Meyer roast beef and sometimes lean ground beef. I'm not bored with it. I think honesty I'm just afraid to broaden my horizon for fear of pain :/

I am using spaghetti squash in place of Pasta and I love it!

_{Nothing bothers me and it's rather scary, I try not to eat bread and Pasta however, easier said than done. I'm 3 years out and afraid I will start to gain weight again so I avoid it!!! Maybe it's a blessing that it bothers you to eat it.}

bread scares me as well- which I'm happy about, bc I have no plans to try it.

You know Amanda I eat a bit of bread here and there...I used to eat it everyday before surgery!

I did not touch it for many months after because of all of the stories about how bad it make people feel and because it bad for you...

But we all know I have a sleeve of steel so of course when I tried it, it was fine.

Ok lots of things for me are sliders and make me want more. You know the usual suspects chips popcorn sweets..

But bread? Meh I can take a bite here and there even bought a baguette in big sur a couple of weeks ago to have with goat cheese (and copious amounts of wine) it, for some reason does not trigger me?

It does fill me a bit yes, but I've not stuffed enough of it to hurt.

I'm nearly 5 months out and can't eat bread either... unless it's in the form of thin crust pizza or crackers. Otherwise it's very painful. Same thing with rice, I gave it up. Pasta I can do, in very small amounts. I usually get in about 3 meatballs and 5 noodles, if I'm lucky. Figure if it hurts and it's bad for me anyway, I probably don't need it.

Baguette, goat cheese, and naturally the copious amounts of wine sound soooooo good.

I'm just over 6 months out and now that autumn weather is here I think how good some crusty French bread and a yummy veal stew would be just delicious... Followed by.... Aforementioned copious amounts of wine.

I just drooled, typing this.

Lol! Yep sometimes you gotta live a little.

My husband and I like to get away a couple of times a year without the kids to the coast. Its always involved bread, cheese and wine.

I was a little worried at first going off plan...

But it was fine.

I saw it there but it's not free shipping with prime and I have to buy six packs so I'm dithering <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

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' date=' I'm Asian, of course I miss rice! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

Mom's sell it.

I wish I were afraid of bread...unfortunately it goes down VERY easy for me.

I'm afraid of soft bread & fruit. I did try two pinches of the inside of a bun that had melted cheese on it and that made me nauseous. I figure I should follow my instincts for now.

[SeriouslyChange 319]

I'm 10 months post op and rarely eat bread, rice, Pasta, or tortillas. If you're not comfortable eating that, don't push yourself,

You don't have to eat that.

Be glad you are afraid. Stupid me decided to try it way to early and I have no issues with it. I still cannot eat a whole sandwich but it's getting close. Wish I could not tolerate bread. I try to stay away from it as much add I can.

I think being afraid of bread (pasta, etc) is a good thing for me. When I went to soft foods, I decided meatballs sounded good. They came with spaghetti and I had a few bites. Big mistake! HUGE! Now I have a fear of Pasta too. Good riddance! What nutritional value do any foods made with white flour have?

Last night I went for Mexican food. chicken fajitas, no rice, no Beans (not that refried Beans aren't good for you -- I just don't like them.). Passed on the fried tortilla chips, but I did have two small corn tortillas. Big mistake! I have been sick to my stomach all day today. No more tortillas for me! One more thing I don't have to eat anymore.
