I've found this amazing cookbook called recipes for Life After Weight Loss Surgery and have made several of the recipes with great success. However in the "Lunch" section it keeps mentioning "diet whole wheat bread" but isn't any more specific than that. It must be low carb bread, too, because for the whole recipe (including 2 slices of bread) it's only 27 total carbs. I googled "diet whole wheat bread" but came up empty. Any suggestions about low carb whole wheat?

Let me edit that to say whole GRAIN bread, not whole wheat.

I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard pretty good things about Julian Bakery, they have a lot of low carb items for sale, wraps, Protein bars. A lot of things made specifically for the Paleo diet, on their website, Including no carb, and low carb breads.

If I can tolerate bread, which I haven't tried since surgery, I will order a few loaves from Julian Bakery, and freeze. I want to avoid adding more carbs. And I'd like to have a tiny sandwich, I bet I could maybe eat 1/4th of a whole sandwich. lol This seems a good solution for that.

I don't eat bread at all, but I do buy Nature's Own 100% Whole Wheat for my family. One slice is 60 cal, 11g carbs (2 Fiber less than 1 sugar) and 4g Protein. Pretty good stats for bread!

I keep seeing ads for the Julian Protein bars--they look really good but are pricey! If anyone tries them I would love to hear how they are!

I will occasionally use this flat out bread that has flax seed in it. I get mine at ALDI. I only eat half of one though at a time and usually only one a day.

Bread I have now is healthy life soft style 100% whole grain. 1 slice has 1fat, 12.5 carb, 1.5 dietary fiber and 3 Protein. But again 1 slice, once a day. Not every day. I deduct dietary fiber from carbs.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
