I have eaten steak many times. He probably does not want you eating bread because it will take up room in your pouch that is meant for Protein. Bread could also expand in your stomach and may cause discomfort this early on.

I am 4 months post op, and still a few bites of bread and I am FULL! Not Fun at all, even feel sick. But everyone is different.

Sleeved 12/17 & I was stuck on a rd trip Thursday & all there was around was a subway...so I got a ham & turkey sub & ate about 4-5 bites then was full! I had no problems! I actually ate a few more bites a few hrs later & was fine! I wouldn't make a habit of it though...like they ^^^ said....I was full with just that little & that wasn't much protein!

I agree. Since our stomachs are so much smaller, it's more important what you put in your body, Protein fills you up longer and gives you more energy. I haven't tried bread at all and just a bite of hamburger, White meats I find don't upset my stomach. Tried thin sliced deli turkey and chicken with no problem, but the roast beef upset my stomach. Haven't tried steak yet.

I pretty much eat what I need to eat without a lot of problems. I don't eat breads, rice or pastas simply because the white processed foods are really not good for me health wise. I tend to eat red met only about 1 time a week but have had a good steak and it is fine. It is a pretty dense Protein, so most likely that's why your Dr. said no. As you get further out from surgery, you should be able to add both back in, but I would do what you can, to follow the plan. It does make your recover easier and makes allow the weight you want to lose come off a bit sooner.

I've been advised no rice, bread or Pasta for 6 months...and I'm sticking to it. I lead with Protein and usually get full off that. The few times that I've been served a sandwich (at business meetings, etc), I just remove the bread and eat the deli meat and cheese. Easy peazy. And very satisfying.

If you trust and respect your surgeon, I suggest that you follow his advice. He has more knowledge experience than we do, and I am sure wants you to succeed at this. I am almost 1 year out and still have a tough time with bread and steak. Your new little stomach is not fully healed. Why push your luck. Also this is your prime and easiest weight loss period. I know its hard to resist, but you can do it. Whatever you decide. I hope you continue to do well.

bread is a waste of valuable space that my body needs for Protein and nutrients. Bread is pretty much empty calories, and like Pasta, can expand in your stomach and cause discomfort. I was eating steak from a couple of months out though even one year out I can not manage more than about 75 grams.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
