SleeveDreamer 383 Posted June 22, 2012 I was a breadaholic before surgery. Now I don't even want it. It will fill you up very fast and expand so your stomach needs to be healed first to prevent leakage. You should be able to eat crackers like Wasa cripbread sooner, so use that in place of bread. I make tuna melts with them, pizza, and everything! When I was released for bread, I was oly allowed to have it toasted, again because of expanding. I don't even want or eat it anymore cuz it fills you up too fast. You will need to eat your Protein first, and that will fill you up for awhile. Don't worry, your time will come for bread, but don't rush it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
