Bread

[craftymel 3]

I miss bread!! I know it's a lot of carbs but I miss toast with my eggs or bread with my egg salad. I'm about to start my solid food phase in 2 days. Had my sleeve on Dec 8th 2016. How long do I have to wait to eat bread??

They (with a capital T) told me that once I was on solid food, and able to get all my Protein in, I could start trying a little bread. I've had a couple pieces, but it just isn't as good as it used to be, and it gets in the way of protein.

When is bread allowed on your doc's plan?

[Bufflehead 6,358]

I was allowed to try bread once I had reached my goal weight and successfully maintained for a few months.

I did try it (when I was permitted, about 20 months post-op I think), a couple of times, but it always made me feel very uncomfortable, verging on painful, so I've stopped trying.

I was allowed healthy carbs after 75% weight loss. It helps to slow weight loss to maintain

Healthy carbs = Whole wheat, Plant based and brown rice. Nothing white

You won't have room for bread for a long while. Not when you literally can only consume ounces at a time, and need to get as much Protein in as possible. Bread doesn't fit into that equation.

Once you get closer to your goal weight and are preparing for maintenance, like @@jenn1 said, incorporate whole grains into your diet. I still only do whole grain bread sparingly at 2.5 years out. For me personally breads and wheat stuff causes cravings and weight gain, so it's really a rare treat for me.

bread makes me sick I love it too but it expands in my stomach and it hurts so I stay away from it but I can take a small bite and that's it[emoji19]

bread is the one thing that makes me sick. I have a 5 c.f. cup of stuffing once and 1/2 slice of French bread in a restaurant another time. Both times I felt like it got stuck and I go sweaty and dizzy and heaved. I think it gets sticky and mushy when I chew it and just can't go down right. That's aside from the fact that it's a waste of calories and often a trigger food.< /p>

My surgeon and nutrition team have told me to pretty much eliminate bread altogether, but if we do have it, make sure it's not thick and toast it so it's easier to digest.

My doctor told me I was allowed to have bread when it was homemade. I don't have a single idea how to make homemade bread so I only have bread when my mom makes it for a big family dinner. Maybe once every 6 weeks or so is what I'm thinking. I'm only 2 months out and I have had 2 nibbles of bread one time.

Look up oopsie bread on Pinterest... I wouldn't bother with bread it's made of a whole lot of nothing.

I found I have a gluten sensitivity. Get over full fast. Watch it.

I am wrapping my mind around the fact that I wont be eating bread for a very very long time if ever. I have no idea when I will be able to eat it and again and I'm not counting down. Frankly I know me and bread...its best we leave each other alone.

Honestly I'm 6 mos post op. I eat bread... but it's only to slow my weight loss so that my body has time to adjust. Since eating bread even though I workout 4-5 days a week... I have lost maybe 3 lbs this month. That works for me because ir was a choice... you may wonder why you're stalling, slow weight loss etc.

Carbs drive hunger. I am hungrier since eating carbs but I just have a light Protein snack. someone who may not know better may find themselves on a binge. It is a slippery slope.

I personally would not be so quick to incorporate carbs in my diet so early in your journey. I think it's too early in my own honestly but it was the only way to put a halt to my weight loss. I thought long and hard and honestly I am very picky about my carbs. I don't just eat bread. It may mean having fruit juice. It might mean having whole wheat crackers with my tuna, or a bowl of cheerios. I don't eat alot of carbs but it does cause sloooooow weight loss. And there is no significant nutritional value to you. I don't think you want to do that right now. Focus on Protein, protein, protein, Water, Water, water. Wait until maintenance for bread but in the least- talk to your surgical team about it.
