Eating bread

[Foreverdark 8]

My Dr or Nutritionist told me not to eat bread (I can't remember how long) for a good while after surgery because of possible "balling" issues. My question is would really toasted toast be ok? I am almost 4 weeks out.

I am not sure, but here is my thinking. bread at almost 4 weeks out was NOT on my plan. Therefore I wouldn't eat it.

In my opinion you are not far enough out yet...sorry if that wasn't the answer you were looking for!

I really wouldn't eat bread at 4 weeks since there is no Protein value to it. However, I have had a few saltines with my tuna to help satisfy my bread craving.

And they do sit heavy on my stomach. Again, not on the meal plan, but I compromised with unleavened bread (not risen with yeast) to minimize the "balling" effect. I have also had a bite of pita with my hummus and did okay with that. But I do this sparsely due to the nutritional value. At 4 weeks out, you should be going into the solids soon. I would just concentrate on getting that protein in through food. Protein first, veggies second, carbs last.

Well see that's kind of my thing. The nutritionist at the required "class" talked a little about breads but never quite (that I remember) said why it's not so good. Is it the carbs? The doc said I could start experimenting with diff foods and such. So I thought I'd ask

And it really has nothing to do with wanting to hear. I can honestly take or leave breads. Just sounded kind of good this morning for a change.

I got the OK to eat bread (Toasted really well) at 6 weeks.
