I'm just wondering if a sandwich with bread is in my future ever again? My mom who had gastric bypass almost 9 years ago eats bread rice potatoes anything she wants like normal. So I was just wondering if there are veteran sleevers out there that can tolerate bread?

I am Orthodox and for Holy Communion we are served fresh bread made with yeast as the body and wine as the blood of Christ. I don't normally eat bread but I felt like communion bread would be okay and I was right. I've not had any problem with it. I don't eat sandwiches and I don't have any kind of bread with my meals so I don't think I'll hurt myself by having one piece of communion bread each Sunday. I can eat most anything now but its still in such small amounts so I stick with protein and a veggie.

I'm 8 weeks and just this week I had one slice of whole wheat with PB2 for breakfast. Couldn't finish it.

I was an avid breadaholic before my surgery. Recently I tried a slice of buttered toast, and to my dismay, I loved it, and it didn't bother me in the least. I was soooo hoping I'd be one of those people who would decide they didn't like bread afterwards. I'm going to have to consciously avoid breads because I don't think my sleeve will do it for me.

I can eat toast fine, so good with a pan fried get on top for breakfast! I even have eaten a few bites of a McDonalds fish sandwich so delicious. I figure if I can only get 3 bites in surely it cannot hurt me:-) lol most days I stick to Greek yogurt, cottage cheese and fruit cup, salad w/ meats.... Chicken makes me gag now!!! Why I do not know! Steak is delicious! I love egg drop soup... My go to food! I cannot tolerate any thing that ha been fried...yeah! Good luck and play it by ear!

Bread is weird for me. As is pasta and rice. I have be really careful on how much of that I eat. I'm trying to stick to protein, veg and carbs last.

I am five months out and have had only a few bites of bread. It is way to filling for me. I love bread but I know it is a slippery slope for me so I avoid it.

I'm 10 weeks out and have had bread. I find lately though I can't eat bread or pastas. I'm starting to cut them out.

I think i must be the only sleever who can eat a whole sandwich and drink some water too.

I don't do any breads, rice or pastas....too many people on here have had problems with them, so I avoid them completely...i have had Cookies and cake...very limited amounts but yummy with no problems...

Bread was my weakness pre-op, but now I just dont seem to want it. I have had 1/2 slice of bread with turkey & cheese. But could only eat 1/4 of the 1/2. im 8wks out.

I'm 15 months out and still can't eat bread. I have lunch on toasted sandwich thins but can't eat real bread without it filling me for hours. Potatoes, rice, and pasta are all eaten in limited quantities for the same reason. I think everyone is different, but for me, bread is a thing of the past.

As per religious observance, I bake and eat Challah every Friday and Saturday for HaMotzi. Between a pinch of Challah and about 3oz of Grape juice, I'm stuffed to the gills. I've had great luck with thin pieces of Rye for when I need a deli fix.

How soon after your procedure did you have challah? Thanks!

I eat half a whole wheat English muffin or 1 slice of bread. If its a roll, I pull out all the fluffy inside. Same with a bagel, I pull out all the insides and eat just half. Everything in moderation.

I think i must be the only sleever who can eat a whole sandwich and drink some Water too.

No, I can too. I don't usually eat them, but tonight I had a PB&J. Half at 5pm and half at 9pm. I don't eat rice or Pasta though, just not interested. I think that tonight I wanted the sandwich because all I've eaten today was Protein, except for a slice of tomato.

I eat bread daily. Often a slice of whole wheat at Breakfast or in a sandwich at lunch. I eat white bread less often, less than once per week. Sometimes I toast the bread, chop it into cubes, and have it in my salad. It's not a trigger food for me. I eat some whole grains with each meal. When it's not the bread, might be barley, oatmeal, or quinoa. Occasionally rice or Pasta. If I don't have the whole grain, I have a starchy veggies, such as sweet potato, corn, or Beans.
