BREAD

Who's eating it already? My nutritionist told me 6months THEN try bread... I've slipped and tried TINY pieces and it doesn't sit well...kinda hurts... I want a "sandwich" SO BAD....... I'm craving HOT ROLLS with BUTTER omg Beth

The only bread I can have is comething that I can toast to a crisp. The other day I made an italian dinner and I did not want to miss out on the bread so I slices a piece real thin, drizzled EVOO on it with some spices and toasted it at 400 degrees. It tasted like a giant cruton! LOL! I did try one of those hot rolls (1 bite) at O'Charley's and it made my tummy feel so icky! I too am craving a sandwhich or a subway sub! I am so sick of picking everything off of it and eating with a knife and fork! UGH! Jamie

Oh this morning I had a yummy "sandwhich". I took whole wheat toast (already toasted) and used a cookie cutter to cut out a hole from the middle... then I put it on a flat plate and dropped a raw egg into the whole and then I sprinkled cheese and bacon over the top. I cooked it in the microwave for like 45 sec, and then put the whole thing into the toaster over to crisp up... it was so yummy!

Hi Beth: I am having the hardest time with Bread. It just sits in my pouch after one or two bites and I feel so crappy. I also did not do very well with rice. I am going to avoid it for a little while longer and try again in a few weeks. Good luck!

Beth, I actually have had an egg sandwich with one slice of wheat bread. I had to toast the wheat bread but it went down well. One bite every 10 minutes. A friend of mine that has had the surgery had told me that she could only eat bread if it was toasted, so I tried this first. I also have had a few bites of a roll at a resturant. It is okay but it really is like paste, the roll that is. We are all so different, it is just trial and error. Becky P.

i have also been having 1/2 piece of toast int he mornings for breakfast with peanut butter on it i have tried pieces of hot rolls i have not found anything yet that i cant eat besides chiniese food 200/159/105 ? i hope debby

I've had bread on a few occasions and it's set just fine. My favorite lunch is a half of an egg salad. I don't do the WW bread or the high grain/fiber bread yet - just good old Oroweat Buttermilk. Last night we went to an italian restaurant (date night for DH and me) and had ckn canneloni, half of a half a glass of my favorite wine (barbera) and a couple bites of their bread, dipped in my wine - I was in total heaven.... ahhhhhhh.... It's nice to be able to drink my favorite wine again - my surgeon's lists for approved foods allows wine at 3 month, but no hard liquer until 6... I did get a little buzzy on the half of a half a glass, though, but it passed as quickly as it came on.

Beth, I have tried bread on two occasions. About 2 weeks ago I ordered for breakfast an egg sandwich on whole wheat toast. I ended up eating the egg, cheese and ham out and throwing the bread away. Last night I was sooooo hungry for a hoagie so I ordered a tuna hoagie with cheese. I took one bite of the roll and that was it. I ended up eating the tuna, cheese and lettuce out of the sandwich and throwing away the roll. So far this is the only thing I have found that I can't eat. I guess I will stick to getting salads for a while yet. Kim 286/234/150ish?

My dietician wants me to eat more whole grains so occasionally I'll have a piece of whole wheat bread. Sometimes it goes down fine and other times it's too heavy. So now I usually just toast it and put some peanut butter on it and it goes down a lot easier. Deanna

Bread is a no no for me, but I can handle a 1/2 a slice cremated. I get over the bread cravings now by eating crakers or popcorn. I, too, am craving SUBWAY!!!!!!!
