When were most people able to tolerate tortillas or bread? I was sleeved 2/23 and am down about 80 lbs. I have a hard time with really dry meat and have really limited my diet out of fear of feeling sick and throwing up. Any advice would be most appreciated!

I was sleeved on 2/17 personally tortillas are little easier mission makes a low carb one that's also very high in Fiber.< /p>

I have no problems with bread unfortunately. It's easier to digest if toasted and eaten slow. As far as the meat, if you cut it up in a salad or eat it with cooked veggies, it helps to digest it easier That's what I had to do with my band and still do with my sleeve. Especially if the meat is dry

I still have problems with bread. Tortillas get stick no matter how small of bite I take. I can eat bread if it is dry toast. I have to eat meat with some type of suce. They are all too dry if I don't have a sauce covering it or to dip it in.

I wouldn't recommend eating bread at all, but there are some low carb tortilla options. My grocery store sells a brand called Father Sam's that I've had a couple of times post-op. But I usually just skip bread/carbs:

      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.
