Can Someone Please Tell Me If I Can Ever Eat Bread Again?



Recommended Posts

I'm a little confused about the whole "bread" situation.

I was told "no bread", because it "doughs up" and doesn't digest well.

Then, I noticed that I can have "crisp toast".

Is the only way I can ever eat bread again is to make sure it's toasted really well??

Does this mean I can never eat plain white or wheat bread, or hamburger and hotdog Buns, or anything like that without "toasting them"??

I've read about people eating biscuits, croissants, wraps, etc. on here.

I'm a little confused!!

Thanx to anyone willing to answer this question for me!!

I can eat all types of bread. Sometimes it's hard to down it but if I eat it slowly, no problem.

i dont do Buns, but i can have a SMALL piece of bread with dinner (Macaroni Grill, etc...) i do best with the crispy bread, but if i am really careful, i can do regular bread...

BUT - never, ever, in the morning...

Thanx, Losingjusme!!

I guess this is going to have to be a "trial and error" thing!!

I did eat a piece of really crispy wheat toast this past weekend and did just fine.

I ate very slow and chewed it really well before I swallowed it.

:wub:

Well, can you? I don't see why not. But I've read some on here do have issues with different types of bread.< /p>

But, I eat Subway still. But I can't seem to get a bun from Arby's or McDonald's down. Weird, huh?

That is weird...

I guess I'll just have to "test" different kinds of bread and see how I do.

My doctor's office was like "no bread", and then I read about all these people eating bread...I was perplexed!!

I've had one fill and I still can eat anything (including bread) as long as I don't eat too quickly.

Pizzaman can still down an occasional slice. :wink:

I can eat a little bit of bread. Yesterday I ate 1/2 a burger with only the bottom piece of the bun. I have a hard time with store bought tortillas but seem to be able to eat a homemade tortilla. Store bought tend to be thicker.

on some days i can some days I cant. However , Personally after 9 months I find i dont want /care for bread much and I dont eat it i dont care one way or another. After being banded for longer periods of time you will find , bread is just bread , its not that big of a deal if you eat it or not . At least that's how i am.

Every now and then I see someone eating a big juicy burger and think " gee that looks good to be able to eat a burger again like that " But that is about it .

Im eating a very think California pizza Pizza right now . no issues.

I dont really care to eat toast, Buns, ect much anymore.

everyone is different though .

I can eat all types of bread but some types can be hard.

But yes, I can eat it. And do most days. Mostly wholegrain or toast and not soft white Buns or McDonalds or Subway or anything like that. It sounds awful to never eat something again but for something like McDonalds, its so much work to eat it that its just not even enjoyable in the slightest and you naturally just go off those food and dont want them.

Technically I can, but I don't like the way it feels, so I don't anymore. I haven't tried since my last fill, but I imagine I still could. bread lost it's appeal awhile ago though.

      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.
