Mel119 0 Posted March 24, 2008 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!!

Sades 4 Posted March 24, 2008 I can eat all types of bread. Sometimes it's hard to down it but if I eat it slowly, no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

losingjusme 12 Posted March 24, 2008 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mel119 0 Posted March 24, 2008 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
losingjusme 12 Posted March 24, 2008 yeah, just take it easy and SLOW ... that's the key. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VegasGrace 1 Posted March 24, 2008 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mel119 0 Posted March 24, 2008 GraceUtah: 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!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizzaman 0 Posted March 24, 2008 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny_Jill 36 Posted March 24, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coltonwade 27 Posted March 24, 2008 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 .

Jachut 487 Posted March 24, 2008 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.

MerryHearted 20 Posted March 24, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
