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>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
