Stay away from breads? Is it really that horrible for you? Even if you eat wheat or whole grain?

Breads fill me up too quickly. Toasted is the best way to eat it. If i have something with bread I remove the top bun and tear away a lot if the bottom. I rarely eat it though. Tried and failed

I'm almost a year out and rarely eat bread. I'm a Protein first, fruits and veggies kind of girl now, with an occasional margarita. I have had a piece of whole wheat toast with a little Peanut Butter, now and then. I just skip the bread basket when dining out, because it takes up too much room and I honestly don't care about it any more. I like the crunch of croutons on my salad, and I'll enjoy a slice of thin crust pizza once in a while. You'll find that your tastes and priorities change, and you may not be thinking about bread and rolls and Bagels all the time, anymore!

Well, there are options. For example, think about doing a lettuce wrap (when you get that far) - use a leaf of romaine and wrap your meat and cheese and add-ons in that.

I'm nearly 4 months out. I haven't had bread since surgery. I have cut out bread, Pasta and rice. I really haven't missed it. Last night I took a bite of pizza, and panicked-so I spit it out. One of the doctors that I work with is teeny tiny-she doesn't eat carbs. She was excited to tell me she tried Ezekiel tortillas and they were great.

Simply put, bread and Bagels have zero necessary nutritional value. Don't waste your time. They raise glucose levels and store fat.

      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.
