My Breakfast is usually coffee with some Protein Powder mixed in. While the coffee is brewing, I make a sort of paste with my vanilla Protein powder and a little almond milk. Then when the coffee is ready I pour it in. It keeps me satisfied til my break time.

Aldi brand Greek yogurt. I'm cleared for eggs and toast, but it's just not sitting quite right with me yet. I might try Peanut Butter and toast next week.

Does anyone have an opinion on white vs. wheat toast? White sits with me better than wheat, but wheat is, well, not healthier, but less unhealthy.

I was not allowed Peanut Butter and toast on my plan during the weight loss stage. Your plan does not look like my plan. I'm three years out. Instructions may have changed.

Wheat toast is much better than white toast because it has a lower glycemic index. So why is this better?

When you eat refined sugar or refined carbs like white flower....the sugar hits your bloodstream really fast...and your pancreas reacts to the sugar spike by making a insulin spike. Unfortunately, the pancreas often will produce too much insulin in response to pure sugar....so it runs out of sugar to "neutralize" and then you have too much insulin...which creates a hunger spike and craving for sugar....and you end up in this nasty cycle of hunger/eat/hunger/eat.....that sabotages your diet and makes you feel kinda cruddy.

If you stick with low glycemic carbs that take longer to digest and have slower releasing sugars...you don't run into this as much and feel much less hungry. Go for whole grain carbs:)

My plan allowed Peanut Butter and whole grain toast in the soft solid foods stage...about a month after surgery.

Yes, my plan also allows Peanut Butter and toast starting at week 5. I think peanut butter may even have been allowed during the pureed stage, but I don't remember.

Until I'm on the general diet, I'm concerned mostly with which is easier on a healing stomach, white or wheat.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
