I have been craving a sandwich so bad!! Anyone else having cravings? Anyone else tried a sandwich? I know I have to be careful since my stomach is still pretty new.

During my first few weeks I wanted a piece of toast so badly. Or saltine crackers. But that seemed to be because i was nauseous I just wanted something bland.

I've had a couple of cravings. But my NUT told me not to try bread until I was 6 months out.

Bread pretty much doesn't exist for me any more, but I did keep a pack of these around when I was off bread but still working on killing the cravings:

They are 105 calories and 17 carbs for 3 pieces.

I make my sandwiches by wrapping tofurkey up in a slice of cheese or lettuce and making a wrap of it.

Go ahead and try; but just a bite. OR, I would take a cracker, put tuna on top and a small piece of cheese. That was enough. If you really try a sandwich, I guarentee you will be very unhappy with the pain you feel so soon after sx. Yes, we all crave something. Maybe 1 bite would help you through. Just be willing to shoulder the consequence.

I am 10 mos out and still can't eat a sandwich. Just looking at one makes my stomach hurt! Lol! I do eat tortilla sandwiches...

I am 12 weeks out and made a grilled cheese sandwich last night with fake cauliflower bread. I won't lie and say it tasted just like a grilled cheese:) However, you may consider it to take care of the cravings. Here is the link to the recipe:

Good luck!

Thank you everyone! ! I'm going to try the grilled cheese

I had a craving for a sandwich today- I am 6 weeks out- so I took a saltine cracker and put shaved ham and a quarter slice of cheese on top and popped it in the microwave for 15 seconds. I made 4 of these for lunch and it quenched my craving!

Try cloud bread. You can sub eggs with substitute liquid eggs and use low fat cream cheese in te recipe. I even add flavoring to make savory versions.

I am seven months post op. I craved a sandwich like crazy until I tried one for the first time at 5 months.

I found the bread fills my tummy and I do not get the Protein I need for the day if I do that. Also, it actually makes me very uncomfortable.

Now, if I use bread to make a slice of French toast where I soak it in the egg mixture, I don't have much of a problem with it. I can only eat about a third of that piece of French toast.

Crackers however work nice if you use chicken or tuna salad.

I only do this once in a while because I find if I eat to many bad carbs like bread or crackers, I don't lose that day.

Have you tried deconstructing a sandwich and just eating the insides, without bread?
