Anyone eat bread or tortillas?

[Crystalynn Alhashim 4]

I am a little over 1 mth post op. Is it ok to have breads yet?

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 started eating one small tortilla with my breakfast egg about 1 year or more post op. Generally I don't like bread that much.

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!!
