Sub to bread



Recommended Posts

Friends took me out to a market that was actually a food market!

NSV is that i didn't spend any money!!! i was able to pick off their plates haha and had some of their gnocchi and arancini which kept down so easily! Didn't want to try too much etc so made sure my fluids were kept up

So maybe rice will be ok after all but still bread bread bread so many burger and bread options tonight!! specially only as tomorrow is 4 weeks so fingers crossed

What was it like when you were banded eating the breads? did you eat all types etc??

And you are totally right!! there were times where i would have a toasted sandwich for Breakfast then a sandwich for lunch and with out realising that was 4 slices of bread.

I think realistically i would like to have it as a wrap - more fillings less carbs (and not a fan of burgers but good idea to have it as an open!) do you use flower tortillas or corn???

Honestly, I had no issues whatsoever with breads while I was banded. I could eat regular bread, Buns, Bagels, waffles, pancakes, tortillas, pita's, you name it. I couldn't eat a large quantity of it, but I could probably get down most of McDonald's hamburger (both buns) as long as I ate slowly.

Our family is hispanic, so we eat all kinds of tortillas, depending upon the occasion and the type of food. I make my own flour ones. I buy soft corn ones and roast/toast them or fry (I know/I know) them as needed. We make tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, or use them to scoop up the main dish. If I'm making wraps at home, I will buy those because they're bigger and flatter/easier to make a wrap. I like the spinach ones.

Sadly, yes. You will. More's the pity.

Why sadly?

Because this weight loss and maintenance game is about changing habits of a lifetime that got us to the Obesity Ball in the first place. It would be so easy if we never could eat these old foods we used to adore so much, without repercussions like getting sick or something. But reality is you will be able to eat WAY more of that stuff than is good for you, and most likely you will still have a preference for it over healthy/clean foods...and you will have to fight not to eat it with more and more frequency and abandon.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
