Omgosh, you're brave. I haven't tried more than about 1 square inch of bread since my surgery. I'm the queen of scaredy-cats! But I am soooo craving a grilled cheese sandwich. Maybe I'll make one at bedtime [emoji6] so if I get sleepy, it's a good thing!
Make it with cauliflower...you can make.the bread ..just like Pizza Crust then make.grilled.cheese

I have no issues eating bread. I don't eat a lot of it, of course, but, if I really get a craving or I'm out with family or something, I may have half of a biscuit/roll. I don't feel any different after I eat it though.
Sadly I don't have issues with bread either. Wish I never would've figured that out.

And I was a great bread baker, maybe not at the artisan level like Green Tealael but pretty good. So now if I make any it will go to friends for Christmas, just another of the things I don't do to keep losing and getting more healthy.

So I'm 9 weeks post-op today and in my second stall (ugh) and we had a work lunch today. I made the conscious decision to have a sourdough roll. A large one. First of all, I couldn't eat my salmon salad after that because I was full (duh) and second, I'm EXHAUSTED. I'm fighting sleep at my desk right now. I've tried bread one other time since my surgery and had the same reaction.

Apparently, after almost 3 months on a very low carb/no refined carbs diet, my body can't handle processing that crap anymore. It's a nice thing, but I basically made the conscious decision to torture myself. Lesson learned. bread is a no for me unless I want to use it as a sleep aid! Does anyone else react the same way to refined carbs/bread?

I was Low carb in weight loss mode. Bread. ric, and e Pasta were excluded from my diet. As I got close to gaol, whole wheat, brown rice and sweet potato were added by my dietician. This was to slow/stop my weight loss. First year bread would fill me up and I had no room for other foods. Years out, bread is not a big problem for me to eat. I have to keep it in moderation.

I can't wait to add those things back into my diet. In moderation of course!

A family member brought a brussel sprout and bacon cassarole to one of our dinners, it was very good but she died before the next get together so I never did get the recipe for it.

My doc said she won't tell me to never eat anything. She wants me to learn on my own what my body can tolerate and what it can't. She also said she feels like if she forbid me to eat something, the temptation would be awful and the guilt terrible if I gave it. She said each meal is a new chance and I should never think too poorly of myself if I slip once in awhile.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
