krissydeem 52 Posted July 7, 2012 When can I eat bread and tortillas again. I've been dying for a deli sandwhich I know I could only eat a third but sounds good. And no corn does that include corn tortillas????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaotica 96 Posted July 7, 2012 I would use caution when trying bread. I still can't do it. The only corn you can't have is kernel corn. Corn tortillas are ground, so no chance of it getting stuck. Keep in mind that bread of any kind will expand in your pouch. It can seem fine for a bit but after a few mins it can really make you feel unwell. Also, bread converts to sugar and you can dump. You may find its not even worth it for one bite. That's pretty much all you can eat of a sandwich. More frustrating than you think. I don't crave bread any longer. In time it will pass. If you must have one, try flat bread. I can't even do that, but some people handle it. You can also use romaine letus in place of bread. Hope that little tidbit helps. Good luck on your new journey!

Ocean0527 23 Posted July 7, 2012 My surgeon said stay away from white foods, white rice, white bread, white sugar, white noodles. I was told if I really want a sandwich, real while grain bread is ok if chewed till mush. Toasting the bread can make it easier on the pouch. I have found a half of a half a piece with a but of reduced fat Peanut Butter is a great Protein boost and sits well. I don't miss the rest of the stuff.
