Question for the vets re: bread

I have had not had THAT particular bread. The stats do not look like something I would choose, especially not at that $$$$

I will be 15 years post RNY, next month. I rarely eat bread, but when I do, it is in the form of something like whole grain Sandwich Thin" type...the closer to tree bark, the better...lol...Anything else tends to gum up, and Oscar (my grouch pouch) just doesn't like it

I never went back to "white bread", and I honestly don't even miss it

In addition to what was said, bread isn't always well-tolerated by some, allegedly. Sadly, I am not one of those people. I wish I was!!

To be honest, I just make wraps with lettuce. Any bread products are really expensive and just make me wish I was eating real bread that doesn't taste like cardboard. I've never been able to find bread as good as a fresh baguette or NYC bagel. Any "diet" bread just is not the same, and I've tried a lot having been low-carb and Celiac. I am picky about bread being from the east coast, though, lol.

I am also biased by my own flaws: I would also never eat just two slices once a week. Two a day, or more, at least. For me, bread is also a crapload of unnecessary calories. A hamburger's calories are anywhere from 1/4-1/2 from the bread alone, for instance. For 260 calories (two slices of bread) you could probably get closer to 30g of animal protein, too. That's easily 1/4 of daily calories after WLS, though, remember. Most of us eat 70-90g of protein/day so it's hard to fit in stuff like that with just 800 calories eating a bigger amount of bread and such.

I have tried expensive low carb breads that people swore were delicious.

I live in NY so I do on rare occasion have a part of a bagel...I call it public food. Food I only eat with others...for special occasions.

It is funny some of the foods I occasionally ate during weight loss and could still loose, I find harder and harder to eat in maintenance.... No room to play around...

I agree with laura in Texas

I am 10 yrs post op today

I wouldn't buy/use this. Partly because when I buy, I buy products For me and my family. They eat honey wheat bread- on the rare occasion I eat bread I use what we have in the house.

when I do eat bread- I typically eat the butt end of it. I never really enjoy that piece- so it keeps me from reaching for more-- and the other end is at the bottom of the bag-- so it not even accessible.

I can tolerate bread well-- pancakes and waffles sit like led.

And this is exactly why I ask the vets and not the nutritionist. You walk the walk. I appreciate all of your comments and it seems you are all on the same page, I will listen. A roastbeef sandwich is not as important as my weight loss.

Thank you all for responding.

Eat the roast beef...skip the bread.

I am not a vet -- only 3 years out -- but I would not eat that. First, the stats do not fit into what I am most comfortable and successful with -- but really the biggest reason is that it would be a slippery slope. I know myself. I am one slice away from eating bread every day. I am only eating bread every day away from weighing 347 pounds again.

For me, it just isn't worth it.

I wouldn't have eaten pre-op -- I was too busy having food funerals...

there are a couple of things here. First,"I love it..." makes it a very slippery slope. Loving something leads to wanting it a lot.

Second ,you can eat 11 gms of dense protein by eating meat and use a lot less than the calories in this. Meat is also more filling for way less calories.

Weigjt loss is about calorie in versus calories burned. All calories are not created equal. Something with some protein , can still be high on overall calories which can promote weight gain.

i wouldn't use this product until I had lost all the weight I wanted to lose, pre op or post op.

Thank you...I never thought about the Love it part, and you are exactly right. I love chocolate, pizza, cake, butter, and all fast food, and loving it got me here in the first place. Thanks for the kick in the pants. I needed that.
