I love sandwiches, from what Im reading, it seems that thats over for me now. How long did it take before you could eat regular food without any complications? Now that you can, what is your favorite food or snack?

I tried a half a slice of toast last night and I was in pain for 2 hours. I won't be doing that again for a while.

Three months out and tried a few Cheez-Its (about 1/2 oz) and stomach was NOT happy. So no more of those. I stay away from bread.

I have reduced fat wheat thins with laughing cow cheese and as long as I chew real well I have no problems eating about 4 crackers at a time for a snack.

For the pizza lovers in the house, have any of you tried making pizza with cauliflower crust? A friend of mine who is a vegatarian made it for me just before I had my surgery, and it was yummy!!!! Look up recipes for it, and give it a try. The protein count for it with the cheeses and maybe some chicken is pretty high. From the things I've been reading, there really isn't too many foods you can't find some sort of a suitable substitute for. I'm going to consider it a personal challenge to sample and try all kinds of new stuff once I can eat solid food again. In fact I'm looking forward to it.

I LOVE eggs now. Or I should as AN egg, with a slice of american cheese on it.

Roterisserie chicken, home made soups with lots meat, or chili.

Immediately post op I made a lot of stuff off theworldaccordingtoeggface.com. Great resource for all diet stages.

Also, I was not a sandwich person pre-op, but since I've found P28 protein bread, sandwiches are part of my life! I live alone, so on the occasion I haven't been to the store, (which seems like often, lol), I'll throw together a 1/2 grilled cheese with P28 bread. Gives me my comfort food fix, as well as my protein, (14g per slice plus whatever's in the cheese). It's filling so I haven't tried it with meat. Might need just 1/2 slice! I can't get it locally so I order off their web site. It freezes well.

My new love... Ricotta cheese Cake in muffins size. They are Fat free, sugar free and 9 grams of Protein per muffin. Made with only Fat Free Ricotta Cheese, Organic Stevia, eggs and vanilla.

They are a perfect snack!! Yummy

There's also another good ricotta dessert. This one is served cold but it's super good and easy!

Vanilla Ricotta Creme

1/2 Cup Part Skim Ricotta

1/4 Tsp Vanilla Extract

1 Packet Truvia or Stevia

Mix it together, put in Frig to let it cool and eat when it's chilled.

I just made it and put in the frig and I'm going to have that for dessert tonight.

10 grams of Protein for dessert? I think so!

My Dr. here in Texas told me no breads, pastas, etc. He said that I would not feel well after having these types of high carb foods (potentially vomit) and that I would slow my fat burning metabolism. And I certainly am not interested in slowing down and feeling bad!

Just another perspective...

My doctor prescribed bread restrictions such as staying away from gummy, chewy breads and pastas. I don't eat Pasta anymore so thats easy. I do eat low-carb tortillas and baked pita chips. These kinds of breadstuffs agree with me very well. Also, the amount I eat helps boost fat burning.

At almost 4 mos out, I have tasted a couple of simple-carbs but I have found I've lost my appetite for such things. No intention on getting it back either.

Nuts and cheese and those definitely were not my faves before! It was red meat and sugar!

Isn't it horrible when a food doesn't agree with you-for me chicken is a problem it feels like it sticks half way down-even chewed very very well.

5 months out and my stomach really appreciates soft food

Starbucks non fat mochas make me have violent pains in my stomach and i am ill for hours! Especially the pumpkin flavor

I love Quest bars and have 1 per day normally on my drive home from work

I am from UK and live in US just recently bought lots of my favorite foods from UK-they have been in my cupboard for weeks and I just don't fancy eating them.
