Me too, I count it as a blessing. Pasta hurts too thank you Jesus !! Greasy food also makes me nauseous if only ice cream gave a bad reaction a would weigh about 75 lbs these days!

My program specifically mentioned that lots of people had issues with starches. I love really good bread and I did eat a bite of crust if we were out at a restaurant with great bread.

My program recommended saltine crackers or very-well toasted bread. I didn't eat much bread, rice, Pasta, or potatoes till I was at least six months out. After about a year out, I could eat it without issues (not much though).

White bread in particular swells up in your stomach. Try toasted wholemeal instead.

I have read on other forums and doctor's sites that bread, especially white bread, is quite uncomfortable. Toast or crackers were recommended. I couldn't find an answer why that is so, but Mrs. Havelock's suggestion about swelling makes sense.

Yes! I've only had it once and it felt like a brick in my tummy... Thank goodness, I don't touch the stuff!! Crackers are ok though. I buy the mini saltines to eat with chicken or tuna from time to time, they allow for slower, smaller bites & I eat a lot less of them ( there are 17 in a serving, 70 cals. 11g carbs) I usually eat about half a serving

Actually reduced fat triscuits have pretty much replaced bread in my life.

I am six weeks out tomorrow. I can eat bread though I'm trying to control myself, it's my downfall :-) I have eaten the Arnold's multigrain flat 100 calorie "bun", an inch of birthday cake and wheat bread with no issues. I have toasted the bread all but once, again no issues. This makes me nervous but Protein first then everything else after I'd the mantra I try to follow..

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
