Speaking of Subway...

I use to eat at Subway everyday before WLS, then I stopped and started back up eating a salad and an occassional wrap, then a few months ago no more wraps, only flat bread.

The numbers on flat bread are higher then regular subway bread, but they are less filling.

So is the flat bread a good choice or another one of the things I should be avoiding?

I never considered the flat bread but it would be less filling. I ate there the other day but didn't eat all the bread.

I took a look at the nutritional values and the wheat bread is better than the wrap. That was surprising to me.

interesting enough they are all the same carbs as bread.  Yet alot of places advertise it as low carb.    When I go to subway I do not eat the bread.

Hey Ken,

I see it as whatever works for you but just be nutrition wise so you don't sabatoge yourself and undo what you accomplished by having the surgery. 
Some of us can tolerate and crave different stuff and react differently. But three primary rules still are the bottom line, in my opinion:

1. It might make you sick initially but with enough effort, your body will adjust to whatever you put into it,... if it doesn't kill you first.

2.  Don't eat so much at a time that you stretch your new pouch and put yourself into the old cycle of the more you eat, the more you want.

3.  More calories in than used equals weight gain.  (Same rule as before surgery.)

Party on dude and don't lose your focus.  Merry Christmas.

I would say the nutritional factor is the most important, you want to go with the best #'s.  Perhaps some conversation with your nutriritionist is in order to help you get a better idea of what you need.
