You might find crackers will work. After a while however you won't muss the bread.< /p>

I use whole wheat pita pockets. I cut the big circle in half and stuff one half with whatever I want on it. Me and my husband have learned to love them. Since we like sandwiches for lunch it's great. I find them in the deli section of the Walmart where I live. I still have to chew well and eat slow, but I haven't had any trouble.

I told my nutritionist I was eating those yesterday and she said that was great. That the band isn't about giving up foods it's about moderation of food, however some people find some foods unfriendly. But, for now the pita pockets are my friend.

I found that the Sandwich Thins, Pita bread, or Tortillas are my safest bet. Now that I'm at/near the Green Zone, regular bread doesn't go down as well.

For me, corn tortillas (50 cal ea) or if I toast the bread that seems to work. I am actually glad that bread doesn't go down well as it is a huge weakness for me.

I find flat bread works well.

I can still have normal whole grain wheat bread so long as I take really small bites and eat it later in the day when my band is looser. I've even hadate a sandwich with a knife and fork because it's easier to take small bites that way.

Thank you all for the great ideas. I will have to try these. I dont have sandwich very often, but it would be nice with ham or tuna salad.< /p>

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
