How long before others could eat bread. I am 9 months after surgery and still can't eat any breads etc



Recommended Posts

Im 6 months out and have recently had a bagel thin with light cream cheese and was able to tolerate it just fine. I kind of wish I couldnt but there hasnt been a food that Ive tried that I couldnt tolerate. I 'prefer' not to eat super dense foods because 1 bite and Im done but other than that, my little tummy is a trooper.

6 months out and bread is a no-no for me. If it's toasted it's not as bad but dense, spongy bread sits there like a lead weight and makes me feel vaguely queasy.

to directly answer your question - how long after surgery could you eat bread? ???

my simple answer

I don't know!!! ;)

my tummy hasn't found a food it doesn't like :angry:

i never had a prob with bread

i rarely have bread though, never Pasta

i always have found it strange that some/many people have trouble eating this or that, i never had any trouble eating anything :) :angry:

early PO (and even after) many many people say they can't tolerate eggs???

happily thats never been a problem for me

I will enjoy an egg salad sandwich sometimes

of course.............everything in moderation :)

good luck

I'm a month out. I can eat toast, crackers, the crust on quiche, and a small amount of damper (like crusty biscuits). I take the tiniest bites. I haven't tried plain non-toasted bread yet but haven't had a food I can't tolerate yet.

I have had no Pasta or rice so far- 3 mos out. I had whole wheat toast with no problems. I am not getting much down other than Protein so far.

I think it depends on your doctor's plan as well as your body. I'm almost 11 months out and bread really doesn't appeal to me much. I still follow the "protein first" rule, and by the time I done eating my Protein, there isn't much room left. :) (Except when we are talking about popcorn - and I try only eat the light stuff.) I still love the smell of fresh bread, but knowing that it will probably just sit in my sleeve as sludge keeps me from eating it. I do like the Special K Multigrain crackers. I can take 6-10 out of the box, put a little tuna salad on them and eat... but the box doesn't call out to me like, say, Wheat Thins. (I loved Wheat Thins pre-surgery.)

I was cleared to eat bread, rice, Pasta at 4 months. I think I had a very small amount here and there at around 3 months, and tolerated it fine. I'm six months out now, and I rarely eat any bread, rice, or pasta, though. It's just high in calories and carbs, so I tend to avoid it. I used to eat breads of all kinds, all day every day before surgery. Loved to make homemade bread and slather it with real butter....lol, wonder how I got up to 300 pouonds? Anyway, to answer your question, I can tolerate, but I choose not to eat it very often. The only thing I've found doesn't sit well with me is eggs.< /p>

Why do so many of eat you eat carbs like rice and bread after a few weeks or months just because you can tolerate it? I'm of the understanding that sticking to Protein and then introducing healthy carbs like vegetables will get you to your goal faster and healthier.

Yes, sometimes I crave a bit of Pasta or even yogurt with fruit but staying in ketosis by avoiding sugar is so successful. And will be a healthier lifestyle down the line. Except for an occassional piece of birthday cake i swear I'll never go back to refined sugar and "white" carbs like rice and potatoes again!

Not everyone has the same eating plan. My nutritionist does not emphasize Protein in the same way most do. He emphasizes a balanced diet. So by eating bread and other carbs, I am following the instructions of my bariatric team.

bread hasn't been an issue at all. And I'm only 3 1/2 weeks post sleeve. Can't stay in ketosis because I'm diabetic and get really ill. My dr has told me to eat a balanced diet. Lots of fruits, veg healthy carbs and some lean meats and fish. Haven't had white bread, just whole grain and only 1 slice max per day. Haven't had any Pasta or rice but when I do it'll only be whole grain.

      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.
