bread is my addiction. There is no bread in my house, for good reason. If you keep Pasta, bread and high carb items in your pantry, I believe it just is too tempting. I can't risk it.

bread is my downfall as well, I used to eat two pieces of toast every morning...one with raspberry jelly, the other with honey. I am 7 months out and haven't had any bread since two weeks before surgery. The only reason I don't eat it is I know I will go back to my old habits if I do. I do crave it, esp. Bagels and often wonder if I can have just a half of one every now and then but know I can't. I will try it again after I meet goal, or maybe not :-)

I was limiting myself to a half a piece of low-cal bread a day and thought that was safe. But I really needed to get out of a stall so I cut out all carbs and it did wonders on the scale. That's where I found motivation to stay away from carbs (that and the fact that carbs are so filling, it makes it hard to find satisfaction in what little you can eat). ^_^

In my opinion, bread has no business being a part of your diet at all until you hit your goal weight and proceed to maintenence. Then it should primarily be whole grains, no "white" stuff. Protein first, then veggie if you have room. Most don't have room for even a veggie many months after surgery. So with the little real estate we have in our tummies where protein is the priority, there should be no room for bread.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
