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?

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.

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!

Cauliflower bread huh...doesn't sound very good but worth a try...I love bread and haven't had very much since surgery...couple bites here and there. My main weakness is candy....

I have had some roasted cauliflower with cheese and bacon on it...a family member brought that dish to Thanksgiving and I have to say it was really really good!

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.

That looks and sounds amazing. Definitely giving it a shot one of these days! Did you make it as directed?

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.

Cauliflower recipe I have not made myself...a family member made it. But it wasn't loaded down w cheese so it was perfect!! It was so good.
