Teryn - if you are getting pains you may be over eating - I don't do much bread anymore - not to say I never have it but rarely - not that I can't eat it - I am lucky I can eat almost anything except tough stringy meat - I just don't do alot of starches..

bread can cause you to pb because it keeps expanding in your pouch, or it makes you feel stuck. I avoid it pretty much. Be cautious with all pastries, crackers, breadings, etc. Also some people can't handle rice or Pasta. All of these are simple carbs (unless whole grain) and should be limited anyway.

If you want to eat a sandwich try Sandwich Thins by Orowheat (100calories) or Thin Buns by Earth Grains (100 calories). Both of them are like a flatbread. I have to toast them and they make a good grilled cheese sandwich.

bread (and most high starch food) is not my friend weight-wise which is 1 of the main reasons I did the band over by-pass. I read that the band would either stop me --or at least seriously slow me down -- on bread. I was afraid I'd eat it if I did bypass. I can eat some bread but not much!

Etymology

The word "biscotti" (pronounced /bɪˈskɒti/, Italian pronunciation: [bisˈkɔtti]) in Italian is the plural form of biscotto and applies to any type of biscuit (in the UK sense of a very dry, hard cookie or cracker). The word originates from the medieval Latin word biscoctus, meaning "twice-cooked/baked": it defined oven baked goods that were baked twice, so they were very dry and could be stored for long periods of time. Pliny the Elder boasted that such goods would be edible for centuries. Such nonperishable food was particularly useful during journeys and wars, and twice baked breads were a staple food of the Roman Legions.[4] Through Middle French, the word was imported into the English language as "biscuit", although in English as in Italian "biscuit" does not refer specifically to a twice-baked cookie.

In North America, where "biscuit" has taken on other meanings, twice-baked Cookies are known as biscotti. In Tuscany, and to some extent also in North America, these Cookies are known as cantuccini ("little nooks"). In Italy they are also known widely as biscotti di Prato. In Italy and Spain, yet another name for these cookies is carquinyoli. In Italy, carquinyoli (plural) are typical of Sardinia and Sicily. In Spain, carquinyoli (singular; plural carquinyolis) with whole or sliced[5] almonds are typical of Catalonia and also associated with the regions of Aragon. In Batea, La Fatarella, and Prat de Comte, all inland municipalities of Catalonia, in the Terra Alta they are also called carquinyols.[6] Carquinyolis are traditional also in some inland towns in Valencia, where they are called rosegons or rosegós.[7] In Minorca, carquinyols are square shaped and do not include whole almonds.

One Catalan food writer states that carquinyoli is derived from the French croquignole.[7] Croquignole, another name for these biscotti, is a French word of Germanic origin.

[edit] Form

Biscotti are twice-baked cookies, often containing nuts or spices. Almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios, and pine nuts are popular choices. Popular spices include anise and cinnamon (used separately).

bread and Pasta are the worse for me, as is a dry tough meat. Turkey burgers kill me.. the pain: too dense. I do have rolls sometimes, but pizza is a thing of the past.. crackers are ok

I am preparing my favorite staple for cold weather. Homemade vegetable soup..add some shedded chesse after heating and I am ready to go..yum..

I'm the same with alot of you where bread is concerned. Turns out it's a big no no for me. Seems there are a couple things I need to stay away from lately. I was trying to eat just a tossed salad and that also gave me a belly ache. Fresh veggies do too!! I just don't know what to eat these days.

Gosh - I am lucky - I can eat anything - I don't do pizza often and can only eat 1 piece - but I can eat it..

I can and do eat sandwich bread (lite) every now and then - and I can eat salads - you just got to chew very well ;0) and eat slowly and I eat veggies every day - lunch & dinner - they are just well cooked - I can eat shrimp lobster etc.

Stringy tough meat like carina asda can give me trouble if it's not tender - I have to have very tender meat... I do those turkey burger - eat slow - chew and mustard !!

I think that's the biggest things - is the tiny bites and chew well - I have learn this since I was banded - sometimes I forget and eat too fast and don't chew - but then my band reminds me on the 3rd bite :blush:

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
