ladycook9713 442 Posted April 21, 2015 During my first few weeks I wanted a piece of toast so badly. Or saltine crackers. But that seemed to be because i was nauseous I just wanted something bland. I've had a couple of cravings. But my NUT told me not to try bread until I was 6 months out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerseyCityGal 231 Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) bread pretty much doesn't exist for me any more, but I did keep a pack of these around when I was off bread but still working on killing the cravings: http://www.shoprite.com/pd/Bauducco/Toast-Whole-Wheat/5-64-oz/875754000152/ They are 105 calories and 17 carbs for 3 pieces. I make my sandwiches by wrapping tofurkey up in a slice of cheese or lettuce and making a wrap of it. Edited April 21, 2015 by JerseyCityGal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rte837 141 Posted April 21, 2015 Go ahead and try; but just a bite. OR, I would take a cracker, put tuna on top and a small piece of cheese. That was enough. If you really try a sandwich, I guarentee you will be very unhappy with the pain you feel so soon after sx. Yes, we all crave something. Maybe 1 bite would help you through. Just be willing to shoulder the consequence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rebecca Jo Ragon 33 Posted April 22, 2015 I am 12 weeks out and made a grilled cheese sandwich last night with fake cauliflower bread. I won't lie and say it tasted just like a grilled cheese:) However, you may consider it to take care of the cravings. Here is the link to the recipe: http://www.theironyou.com/2014/05/cauliflower-crust-grilled-cheese.html Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

innwtitdtity 57 Posted April 23, 2015 I had a craving for a sandwich today- I am 6 weeks out- so I took a saltine cracker and put shaved ham and a quarter slice of cheese on top and popped it in the microwave for 15 seconds. I made 4 of these for lunch and it quenched my craving! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomi71 581 Posted April 24, 2015 Try cloud bread. You can sub eggs with substitute liquid eggs and use low fat cream cheese in te recipe. I even add flavoring to make savory versions. http://www.food.com/recipe/carb-free-cloud-bread-411501 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djmohr 6,965 Posted April 24, 2015 I am seven months post op. I craved a sandwich like crazy until I tried one for the first time at 5 months. I found the bread fills my tummy and I do not get the Protein I need for the day if I do that. Also, it actually makes me very uncomfortable. Now, if I use bread to make a slice of French toast where I soak it in the egg mixture, I don't have much of a problem with it. I can only eat about a third of that piece of French toast. Crackers however work nice if you use chicken or tuna salad. I only do this once in a while because I find if I eat to many bad carbs like bread or crackers, I don't lose that day.

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted April 24, 2015 Have you tried deconstructing a sandwich and just eating the insides, without bread? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
