Any luck with bread?

I am 3 mos. post op and have had no luck with bread. Wheat, heavy, white, buns, anything! I know this should be a blessing, but I was hoping bread in moderation would be an option for me this far out. I have tried toasting, broiling, plain, dry, every way imaginable. ALWAYS get sick. Anybody else not tolerate any bread yet? Maybe I just will never get to have a sandwich or toast ever again thanks, lori

Hi there .. I am 4 mos. out, and still cannot eat bread. I know there are some that can -- but I get sick too, unless I eat just a very very small piece of toasted bread. Maybe in due time, we will be able to. I sure hope so, because I miss just having a grilled cheese sandwich! ...or bologna!! Susan

Hey Lori... I dont know what to tell ya... I am able to tolerate bread. I found myself eating way too much of it though. I have cut it out. I do eat a little every now and then. I know you miss eating a sandwich. Try wrapping whatever you want into a big peice of lettuce. Like wrap your tuna in lettuce or bologna in lettuce. Might help you with your craving for a sandwich.

I've had luck with grainy, nutty, low carb breads. Any other type of bread has been a no-go for me Craigerzz

I'm dying for a piece of toast. Found out this past week I could eat small pieces of bread - very slowly and without any fluids. Am not pushing it, though - so I put the loaf of bread I had in the cart back on the shelf this past week.

I'm 15 wks out and bread is my biggest NO NO! I miss sandwiches too but every time I try it comes right back. I pinched off a little bite of a french bread roll once, and a couple tiny bites of a piece of garlic toast one time - but other than that I just can't handle it. Maybe in time. I have noticed that several things on the "NO NO" list have recently become "maybe" items - I can tell that my pouch is getting a little stronger. But that makes me nervous. I use to be a big bread eater...so maybe it's a good thing I'm not able to do it now. Karla -72

My sister-in-law to this day cannot eat bread well, and she is almost 3 yrs post-op. I haven't really had any problems with it, but I do better with low-carb wraps. They aren't as heavy. Good Luck!

my doctor doesn't allow bread for the first year, took one bite of flat bread and knew I wouldn't take a second one, it took forever to go down,, its a blessing really if you can't, just like sweets I assume it will make me sick so I don't eat it,
