I'm two months and I just started eating wraps. Im really try to stay away from carbs so I found some wraps that only have 5 net carbs. Be careful when choosing wraps or tortillas because some of them can have as many or more carbs then bread. Same with fat content. My nut also said I could have sandwich thins but like I said I'm staying away cause the carbs are too much.

I think I was allowed toasted whole wheat bread at 6 weeks 3-4 weeks later I could add tortillas.

I'm allowed corn tortillas that aren't fried. I don't eat them usually since two bites fills me up. bread still gets stuck

I have found that bread can be tough to get down unless it is toasted.

So these are my preferred tortillas and bread. I can eat 1 small tortilla or 1 slice of bread (toasted or unloaded) without issue.

As you can see, the tortillas are 80 calories, 13 carbs, but 9 are Fiber, zero sugar, and 3 grams of Protein.

The bread is 40 calories, 9 carbs, 3 of which are Fiber, 1 gram of sugar, and 2.5 grams of Protein per slice.

I eat probably on average 1 tortilla or 1 slice of bread a day.

Always follow your plan, just thought I'd show you what I've discovered, through trial and error, that I like and that irks within my guidelines.

@SoccerMomma - Thanks for sharing! I'll have to look for the Carb Balance Tortillas. Are they in the refrigerator section or in the regular section with the taco shells?

I can only tolerate it if it's toasted.

Actually by the bread and English muffins. One of my go-to dinners when my son is gone is a tortilla with scrambled egg, cheese, and salsa. Quick and not too bad for ya! Or a tortilla with retried Beans, pre-cooked chicken,cheese, and salsa... I'm all about easy when I'm kidless!

I use those same tortillas exactly! They sit fine but I can't even finish one! I have some Mexican melting cheese that I will use cold and slather inside the tortilla. I sometimes just eat that but can't even finish it all.

In the hospital recently they gave me a piece of white toast... Did fine with that. I tried a piece of whole wheat toast and it made me sick. For some reason white bread sits better though I almost never eat it. Only the tortillas and even those I don't do often.

My sons favorite lunch is now a tortilla with laughing cow cheese and turkey rolled up in it and dunked in salsa so we go through a pack of tortillas a week! No complaints, it's low fat and reasonably high Protein so I'll keep feeding him! Wal.mart always seems to have them, although I did buy 1 size up once....but too big for me!

I used to eat laughing cow a lot but strangely I haven't had any since surgery. I do need to pick some up and try it with the tortillas or the pretzel thins. I tried pretzel thins last week for the first time and I'm loving those right now. I eat them once a day with cheese for a crunchy Protein (from cheese) snack.

I wish I didn't like surgery. Pre op I would bake 2 loaves of sourdough a week and eat them both with a stick of butter. Yum!!

      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.
