Advice on Bread Please from Post-Oppers

[BIG KIM]

I am 11 Months Post Op, and have not had any bread since before my Pre-op diet. after my surgery my dietician advised me to avoid it as it dough's in the pouch. so for that I aint touched it.
Im able to eat more food now, even steak etc. so was wondering if any of you are at a similar stage to me, and have you been eating bread, and if so, how much and with what effects?

All advice given is appreciated in advance.

Ive had bread a couple of times and been ok, i bought a small loaf of Warburtons Seeded Batch and toasted one slice, first time i had beans on it and this morning i had one slice with scrambled egg. Hope this helps.

I've had bread too. The seeded batch is good and wholemeal is. If I use white I tend to get the danish loaf, which is lighter, and toast it.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I have had toast, as the dietician said toast was ok. I meant just bread as in like having a sandwich etc.

I have been eating bread from 6 weeks post op on the advice of a Dr at my weight management clinic "To try it"
I can only manage 1 slice usually but I have just had a toasted teacake. I ate it slowly and stopped when I start to fee any restriction.
Just go slowly and don't try to eat the whole loaf lol

toasted I can eat bread with no problems.

In a sandwich, I cant usually manage both sides of the sandwich, but enjoy what I do have.

My favourite is to have some crusty baguette with the doughy inside ripped out as much as possible. It makes a lovely easy to go down sandwich like that, or with a bit of cheese, or to accompany soup.

I prob only have bread once or twice a week now, whereas pre-op I had bread every day without fail.

I cant tolerate bread ( tried once, and I dont miss it either, ) . All the best Kim x

I can only just eat bread now at 18 months post op. If I buy a small soft sub roll then it lasts me over a break time and lunch time. Still struggle with shop made sandwiches for some reason. Half a wrap or pitta bread is ok x

i only have3 probs with really fresh white bread, all other bread, rolls and wraps go down fine

 

[Stellap]

I'm almost a year post op and I've been having bread since 3 months post op with no problems. I don't eat much of it as I'm a carb addict and try to limit the carbs I have but I don't have problems digesting it. I get very full eating fresh white whereas brown, granary or the soya and linseed bread seems to go down much easier so I tend to eat that rather than white, and I am used to eating the brown as a diabetic so have carried on with that.

Been eating bread since I moved onto solid foods. I've avoided white bread and usually have one slice of Burgens soya and linseed or something equally 'seedy'. No probems as long as I take my time.

I'm with Stella on this subject. I've had bread from about 3 months out, first onky toasted but after a while untoasted is OK but only in small amounts. I prefer te Burgen soya and linseed bread but only 1 slice if it isn't toasted. The Burgen is good in that it has more protein than the normal white or wholemeal. I also like a crusty baggette but can't manage a whole one. Just try some Kim and see how you go. What have you got to lose?

I can eat any type of bread, but the golden rule is I must always chew it properly or I suffer. Plain white bread is the worst if not chewed.

 

[nonsmoker2008]

bread for me is hit and miss but defo agree on the warburtons seeded batch, especially the very small one. wraps and mini pittas and the occasional half a bagel seem to be easier to tolerate (eaten very slowly) as they don't tend to expand so much. i always leave some room when i've had a very small amount of bread... just in case

 

[phatmomma]

Oh Kim, i feel so blessed now.......

I can eat any bread, brown bread, white bread, crusty bread, wraps, pitta, naan bread the lot!

I have done since about 6 weeks post op and it's the only thing that doesn't bother me!

I have pretty much eaten bread from solid stage. At first it was taosted, but then onto butties. If there is salad on it - I can manage a full 2 slice butty (never white bread - ever) and if no salad and just meat, then I can do half then wait 15 mins and then have the other half.
I was never told to avoid it, was just told to be wary of white bread as its empty carbs.
It certainly fills me up and sits in my pouch for a while - which is the point isnt it?! x

If I can go down to one or two small slices of wholemeal a day I would be ecstatic!I eat way too much bread,hence the weight.

 

[zns]

Sometimes bread is ok others I have to bring it back up, its just trial and error I think. Im much better with toast than just bread.

 

[dottychic]

Ive not tried bread yet, Im a bit wary of having it as I was such a big bread eater. Im worried I will start and not stop! I might just try some brown bread toast in the next week or so and see how I get on with that XX

 

[Mixman]

I have toast or toasties but not very often, love them though
