Protein Bread?



Recommended Posts

I am going to see my nutritionist next week. I will be asking about this for down the road. I'll let you know what she says :-)

I think I will stick to my lettuce wraps. I love eating my Protein in the way of chicken and tuna salad, and even "tacos" in the lettuce wraps. Having 2 diabetics sleeved here, and being older, we have foregone anything that resembles "bread". Good luck to you all.

Sounds like a good source of Protein if you can tolerate bread. For me, bread is no longer my friend. I'm almost 18 months post op & don't tolerate bread well. So good luck if you can handle it.

Anyone ever tried this? Or something similar? I'm only 6 weeks out... Wondering if it's something we can try? https://www.p28foods.com/baked-goods/p28-high-protein-bread

I can't answer this question but I'm interested in the answer. :)

I have a loaf in the freezer right now. I have had 1/2 slices of the whole wheat light SL brand bread as toast and did fine. The P28 wraps have an odd tactile texture (almost velvet-like) but they taste pretty good-I usually split one wrap into 4 sections. I may give it a try this weekend with some BP2 spread.

Hello,

I wish I could try this Protein bread but I've researched it and it's not available in the UK. I received an email saying they hope to deliver to the UK in the future but god knows how soon that will be.

I'll keep an eye out for it though. :))

Be patient. You will not be wanting bread for awhile I promise! You will be afraid but you can sample tiny pieces later on. I have not bought any bread since Sept. 2013 and it is my favorite thing in the world. Not worth the risk.

I have a different brand, but similar bread. It sits heavy and doesn't really taste like bread. It is better toasted. I would wait until you are 4-6months out. It isn't the great thing it makes out to be, IMHO.

I have tried warburtons flat squares toasted with baked Beans. The first time I only had 1/2 and the following time a whole one and was perfectly fine. I wouldn't try any type of thicker bread though for quite some time. :)

I've tried it. I could only do half a slice at a time. I threw out half the loaf though. It's not that' there's anything wrong with it per se. It does sit heavy and thunks hard. But the main thing is I guess 9 months of no bread and I'm out of the habit of eating bread and so it never occurred to me to eat it, and it went stale.

Which I would NOT have believed was possible before surgery! I loved loved loved bread. So in a way, I'm glad I just went cold turkey instead if using this or low carb breads. Because now I don't crave any of them.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
