Is this ok to eat? It has six nets carbs. I'm 8 months post op.

You probably want to make sure they're whole grain and have nutritious value. I'm only a week out (aug 23) but when I can eat it will be whole grain pita with tuna/chicken salad.

I'm 3 mos and tried a tortilla and after a few bites I was hurting. Just be careful.

LOVE these, I eat them weekly. I usually get the whole grain ones but will sometimes just get the regular flour depending where I shop.

I make quesadillas, pizza, wraps, tortilla chips, tacos with them and they don't bother my sleeve at all.

ETA: I'm 8 months post op as well.

Cool. Thanks

Jf you mixed it with a lot of lean meat its fine as long as it doesnt upset your tummy.

But its still mostly empty calories/carbs.

I think something like this would be much better

(they sell this at BJ's wholesale)

Less than half the calories, and serves the same purpose

I eat them daily for lunch I cut them in half and load them down with meat! I am 5 1/2 months out, 88 pounds down.

Omg my dream first or close to first meal is tuna/chicken salad with apple slices, tomato and lettuce if allowed on low carb/whole wheat pita or Tortilla. I'm only 10 days out so it's very very far away [emoji24]

I am 3 weeks out and that isn't on my radar. I don't plan on too much bread in my future.

Awesome

Look at the total carbs not net carbs. There is no actually research supporting net carbs. Net carbs were invented by marketing to cash in on the low carb craze.

You just kinda blew my mind. I had no idea that this was so . . . but read a Web MD article that basically says this. Wow. Those sneaky marketers and their evil ways!

I did Atkins 10 yrs ago and lost 100lbs counting net carbs.

But just saying you counted net carbs doesn't say how many you actually consumed for your daily carb count, and maybe for you your CCL fit in that amount. My NUT says don't use net carbs.

Fiber comes from whole grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, etc. It is not usable by the body, and lowers the total carb count (net carbs). Mayo Clinic says this along with every nutritionist/dietitian I've ever talked with. Fiber is vital to moving the bowels. Now, the fiber in these processed tortillas might not undo the other garbage that is included in them, but the fiber in them does lower the 'net carb count'.

But I'm saying it worked counting net carbs.
