    BariAsh got a reaction from Arabesque in Hero Bread Post Bypass   
    Thank you for the insight!
    Hero brand specifically caters to it being a protein/fiber ‘bread’ with no carbs - so in theory it would contain more vital nutrients (for a wls patient) in one tortilla wrap than in an entire head of cauliflower and doesn’t contain sugar like cauliflower. I think the intrigue of that fact actually lures me! I know it’s processed so that’s where I get nervous.
    To your point, I have noticed the ‘heaviness’ of foods affects me. Things that are more dense seem to make me nauseated and things that are light like sautéed veggies and lean Proteins sit really well with me!
    I knew going into this I’d have to give up a lot and so far the only thing I miss is bread/tortillas/pastas. But I’d rather have health than have those things. So seeing a ‘bread’ with Protein and no carbs makes me very excited.

    One day I’ll be able to try it, but at only three weeks in, still letting my little tummy heal.

    PS. Saw your birthday is July 21 - I’m July 20!!!!

    Check with your dietician & medical team. Plans differ & it’s always best to follow your plan. If your plan says no bread it means no bread & that includes low carb, low calorie or high Protein versions. The issue with bread, bread alternatives, rice & Pasta is that they swell in your tummy & take up valuable room which should be filled by the protein you need to eat. Remember all because you may not be allowed now while you are losing doesn’t mean you won’t in the future.
    Of course some are allowed to eat bread, etc. but what sort, how much & when you can is where differences occur. If you are allowed remember eat your protein first, then any vegetables you are able & very last any carbs you are allowed & only if you still need to eat. (Often I could only eat my protein & nothing else.) And of course the other consideration is if you can physically eat them. I’m almost 4 years out & I still can’t eat breads, pasta, rice. They just sit too heavily in my tummy & limit the amount of more nutritionally food I need to eat. Lots of alternatives like cauliflower rice, cauliflower crust for pizza, zucchini noodles, etc. available.
    PS - The type of surgery doesn’t really influence your post eating surgical plan.
