I seldom eat breads, pastas, or sweets. These are very addictive for me.

Why did you convert from band to sleeve ...in the deciding phase just curious

I was going to be "banded" but the nurse for my gastric doctor stated that most "bands" can slip and cause infections from lacerations from slippage which happens often and 90% of the patient who get the band wind up coming back for the sleeve, she herself had the sleeve and she showed me a couple of before and after pics and highly recommended it, I took a chance and took her advise and I am very grateful I did.

I am reading the book Wheat belly right now and I am so alarmed by what is in the book that I doubt that I will be eating much of anything that contains wheat from here on out lol' date=' Not that i eat it often anyway, maybe once a month.It took a few months to tolerate - I am a carb addict so I stay away from it.

The wheat that is produced now is so genetically modified that it is thousands of chromosomal iterations away from the parent strains, even from just a few decades ago ( the bread I grew up on in the 70's) - and it has never been tested for safety in humans or animals. Makes sense - genetically modified strains of wheat started rolling out just when the population was starting to gain weight at an alarming rate - when we have always stayed within a normal, healthy range in terms of body composition for thousands of years.[/quote']

That's interesting. I eat pita bread that is made in a middle eastern grocery store. I wonder if this is true for that too. Eeek!

My NUT said that toasted bread and crackers were okay once I hit soft foods. I can't eat more than a slice and I've made sure to enjoy the 100% whole wheat light bread. I suppose I'm one of the lucky ones in that respect. I haven't had any trouble with any foods!

      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.
