Hi

One food i am missing so much are smoked salmon sandwiches (not sure why but something about Salmon and avo - and can't do sushi to my understanding ever)

Now i am not at all ready to be trying bread etc but wondering if wraps are something people are able to digest? Looking at tortillas or mountain bread or sandwich things

I am in Australia so please if you do know of any ideas let me know if in Aus or not (so i can find substitutes)

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.

I miss bread! I just want warm peace if sower doigh ir some italian bread ? with butter and salmon or cheese. God.

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.
