Sub to bread



Recommended Posts

Friends took me out to a market that was actually a food market!

NSV is that i didn't spend any money!!! i was able to pick off their plates haha and had some of their gnocchi and arancini which kept down so easily! Didn't want to try too much etc so made sure my fluids were kept up

So maybe rice will be ok after all but still bread bread bread so many burger and bread options tonight!! specially only as tomorrow is 4 weeks so fingers crossed

What was it like when you were banded eating the breads? did you eat all types etc??

And you are totally right!! there were times where i would have a toasted sandwich for Breakfast then a sandwich for lunch and with out realising that was 4 slices of bread.

I think realistically i would like to have it as a wrap - more fillings less carbs (and not a fan of burgers but good idea to have it as an open!) do you use flower tortillas or corn???

Honestly, I had no issues whatsoever with breads while I was banded. I could eat regular bread, Buns, Bagels, waffles, pancakes, tortillas, pita's, you name it. I couldn't eat a large quantity of it, but I could probably get down most of McDonald's hamburger (both buns) as long as I ate slowly.

Our family is hispanic, so we eat all kinds of tortillas, depending upon the occasion and the type of food. I make my own flour ones. I buy soft corn ones and roast/toast them or fry (I know/I know) them as needed. We make tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, or use them to scoop up the main dish. If I'm making wraps at home, I will buy those because they're bigger and flatter/easier to make a wrap. I like the spinach ones.

Sadly, yes. You will. More's the pity.

Why sadly?

Because this weight loss and maintenance game is about changing habits of a lifetime that got us to the Obesity Ball in the first place. It would be so easy if we never could eat these old foods we used to adore so much, without repercussions like getting sick or something. But reality is you will be able to eat WAY more of that stuff than is good for you, and most likely you will still have a preference for it over healthy/clean foods...and you will have to fight not to eat it with more and more frequency and abandon.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
