Sandwich Wraps

[RebeccaAR 4]

I am new to this whole thing (1 week out) and I have a question. I know bread is a problem for us, but will I eventually be able to eat a wheat wrap? Thanks for any help you can give me on this!

Eventually; if you want to, it agrees with you, you have room for it, and you track it. Sure.

I am 10 months out and yes I can certainly eat bread, wraps and that sort of thing but it actually feels like it clogs my pouch so I don't.

I remember when I was post op about 8 weeks, I wanted a sandwich so badly. I missed bread. Until I ate it the first time, then I lost interest.

I have since tried it a few more times and honestly i just don't feel right after.every once in a while I will have a half a piece of toast and that doesn't bothe me as much but if the bread is not toasted.......

The other thing is, it is very difficult to get your Protein and veggies in when eating bread so you end up missing your Protein goal for the day.

I have not eaten regular bread but i eat wraps all the time. I will eat chicken or steak wraps and don't have any problems with it. When i first tried it, i had difficulties with it feeling like it was getting stuck, but tried it again several weeks later and now no problems. If something doesn't feel right eating it at first, wait 2-3 weeks and try again and it could be different. That is one thing my doctor stressed to me.

I eat wraps, but I use lettuce. I haven't tried bread and I'm scared to. Maybe a few more months.

I have ate bread a couple of times. As everyone said, when I was about 4-weeks post op, I tried it and felt aweful immediately. I waited 3 weeks later and yeah wait a couple weeks later. I'm 7 weeks out and I have tried a wheat roll. Tiny small bites wet with gravy or broth. I ate my vegs and Protein then little bites of moistened bread. Haven't tried toast maybe I will this weekend when I am at home in case there is trouble because I do want some toast.

I agree with everyone if something does fit, try again later. Congrats, best of luck and keep us posted!

I was 2 weeks out when I ate toast, in accordance with my doctors plan. The only thing that occasionally gives me problems is Bagels. But small bites and chewing well helps!

what dobu use for your wraps? Not ingredients but wraps themselves. I use romaine but want a whole grain or spinach wrap.

I have to ask... Do you eat the whole piece of toast or begal? How do you fit it in? Is it all you eat for that meal?

i use mission carb control fajita size tortillas for wraps. i put a slice of deli ham, a slice of swiss and some mustard in and roll it up. they're a smaller size tortilla so great for wraps, and also to make tortilla pizzas with

How far out sarahbee

[sarahbee 46]

@shellylester I am 7 weeks out, but have been able to eat those for a while. I progressed to normal food at 4 weeks.

Oopsie bread or cloud bread is a good choice. Its has Protein and very minimal on carbs...like .5

Forgot to say google either term and you'll find the recipe.

I made the cloud bread and it turned out well. I wouldn't want it too much cause I think it could lead to eating carbs again. I would make it again! Not too hard to make

What is the best type of wrap to use to make my wrap with?
