1 quick question

A kinda tongue in cheek, yet serious question... did you guys get told by Sloan that you weren't supposed to have any bread products for the first 6 months? She told us that yesterday, and I wasn't totally panic stricken, but I was a little put off by it. I'm not a huge bread eater anyhow, but come on 6 months without a single bread product?? I'm glad to hear that you've had success with whole wheat tortillas. I'm not looking to try it the first week, but thinking that 6 months is an unrealistic time to expect someone to not have any bread products.

Yes Kathy I was told six months:  at four months out I tried Wheat bread ( toasted) : It stays down well:  white bread toasted or not does not go down well:  I have peanut butter on my wheat toast to get protein in =). Pasta does not cause any trouble for me   in fact my friend at work made me some stuffed shells instead of a birthday cake.  I posted some pics on my profile of my birthday outfit:  Its like the first time I got really dressed up since surgury:  As you can see the  outfit is a bit big on me now =). Darla

So far I've been doing pretty good w/the no bread/pasta/rice thing.  I'm 4 months post op today, and I have to admit, I want that stuff all the time,  but I figure I've made it this far, I can last for 2 more months.  Darla, the wheat toast w/peanut butter sounds really good.  That might be what I try first!

LOL...this looks to be another "personal" thing.   I have tried breads about every month since I was about 2 months out.   Everytime I do, they sit horribly.   So much so that it takes another month for me to get up the nerve to try them again.    At this point I really have not had bread for about 8 months and am getting used to it.   I might just give them up all together.    Interesting thing though...breads sit poorly...but crakers seem to be fine.   I have even tried toasting the bread with no luck.   Oh well...there is always next month! :-)
