First Sandwich since September '04

Hi Everyone~~ Had to share the fact that TODAY I ATE MY VERY FIRST SANDWICH SINCE WLS! It was tuna fish on seedless rye and it tasted wonderful! I took my time but managed to eat the whole thing. I avoid eating bread at all costs but today I seemed to crave a tuna sandwich. I am going away on Friday to PA so at least I know I can pack a sandwich to eat on the road rather than stopping and picking something up. Hugs Marianne 265/155/135??

WOW- a sandwich- hadn't even thought of one of those! Congratulations!!! Victoria 350/219/1??

WOW!!! I am afraid of sandwiches. In fact I was just telling my friend that is what I missed the most. What I wouldn't give for a tuna melt. I'm a very sad person!!!! LOL That sounds wonderful!!!! Yummy! Also... congrats on the 155 - I can't wait till I'm there! Laura RNY 9/7/04 330/180/140

I have been eating sandwiches for about thee months now. I normally go for the reduced calorie bread as it goes down easier but today I had a toasted cheese and tomatoe sandwich for lunch which was to die for. Peanut butter and jelly never tasted so good. It is amazing the simple things I now enjoy so much more.

Lucky you! I still cannot tolerate any kind of breads. And I miss it sooo much! I use taco shells when I feel a need for some kind of a sandwich. Not the same thing but works for me! Doreen 474/298/?

I eat my sandwiches on a low carb soft taco shell. They taste great and I am very satisfied. I buy the big ones and cut them in half, also I don't roll them like a wrap rather I just fold it in half. I eat turkey breat, ham, tuna, you name it. Of course it tastes best with lettuce and tomato, so I usually add that too. You should try it, it has all the flavor of a sandwich without the bulk of the bread. Jo

congrats on making it this far out and hving your first sandwich...i don't normally eat breads but i do have the chicken sandwich and leave out the top bun - sometimes i eat the bottom bun only but for the most part just the chicken. i usually eat tuna by itself and make sure it's well prepared sometimes they add a lot of mayo on it and it makes me sick so i stay away from it unless i prepare it. congrats on your weight loss...keep up the good work!
