Hi all,

I had bypass on 7/23. I really miss sandwiches and am dying for a couple bites. When were you able to eat bread without problems? thanks!!

I waited until 3 months out before I attempted bread... I avoid white bread and stick with the super high grain count versions... less problems. Just be VERY careful and eat slow and most certainly don't drink and eat bread at the same time!

I'm 9 months out and can only eat Dave's Killer thin slice sprouted grain.

I’m almost 3 months out and have no problems with bread.

I am 11 months out. I will eat a half of piece of toast once in a while. I typically avoid bread, it is to filling and I do not want to use my calories for bread. That is just me. Everyone is different and we all have to choose what is right for us.

Thanks all! I truly appreciate your advice!

It took me a while to eat bread but I do try to avoid it as much as possible. If I go to a restaurant and want a sandwich, I usually order it without the bread. Or, some places do lettuce wraps, even for burgers. That way you get the good part of the sandwich without the bread.
