abryson 41 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) I ate thin crust pizza slice I was fine. I ate a fiery taco from Taco Bell I was fine. However, those are not good choices! I want to make my own lunches for work but I don't need a lot. I wondering what type of wrap y'all have tried or pita bread and how did it do? I'm 4 months out and down 78 lbs that's with a 2 week stall which I broke a couple days ago. Am I losing too fast? Was a 54 in my waist and now I'm a 40 and dropping. I think it's working to good!

James Marusek 5,244 Posted April 11, 2016 78 pounds in 4 months is fine. Don't worry about losing weight too fast, your body will determine your rate of loss. You should probably lay off the bread. You will be in the "Weight Loss" phase for only a short time and then you will transition into the "Maintenance" phase. So you want to maximize your weight loss in the "Weight Loss" phase as much as you can and that means minimal bread consumption. After RNY surgery, I went from a size 46 down to a size 32 in short order and from a size 3X in shirts down to a size Small. That was simple amazing. Again not a bad thing. I am 35 months post-op now and maintaining the weight loss. It means that I can buy clothes from department stores again. Chili at Wendy's and a taco at Taco Bell is not nutritiously bad food. And when I am out and about that's what I go for. But wait until you have transitioned past the "Weight Loss" phase. The time you are in is very precious, don't waste it.

MrsQ2016 23 Posted April 11, 2016 My doctor told me to avoid bread, rice, Pasta and potato as it will slow or stop your weight loss. I've decided it's the Devils food!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applejenn 173 Posted April 11, 2016 What I use and have been using for awhile is lettuce. I wrap whatever I'm having is some type of lettuce that I like. Romaine works great to wrap food in. ~Jenn~ Surgery date 5/18/16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnylatte 5 Posted April 14, 2016 Rice blocks ur entire digestion so when ur in maintenance any more than a bite and ur in trouble thick bread is the same Small versions of things work for me pita minis rice cakes 1-2,fajita small circle etc but wait as long as you can u will figure out what makes u sick and what doesn't and then one day it won't work for u it's what ur body tells u so listen to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kjwrn 129 Posted April 14, 2016 What about using lettuce as your "tortilla" for wraps? Kind of like a Jimmy John's "Unwhich" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
