Bread

I am almost 5 months post and am having problems digesting bread and anything like bread (wonton paper). My throat fills with mucus and I am sick. Has anyone else had this problem? It sucks because I am not only craving a sandwich but with a major move imminent, I am realizing how much food had bread of some sort in it.

    Bread doesn't sit well with me, but if I eat a cracker or tortilla or something less doughy it's no problem, it's kinda weird. Starches in general don't sit well with me, so I avoid them. You might want to try a high protein bread like Ezekiel, and toast it before you eat it, I have heard from a lot of people that toasted bread settles better with them.

    Other then filling me up too fast I have not had a problem with bread. This is both a blessing and a curse. If I have to eat something on the go that has bread I normally just eat the protein or vegetable innards and maybe have 1 or 2 bites of the bread portion. I still struggle with the idea of "wasting" food, but I figure its better thrown out then making me sick or adding too many empty calories to my diet.

    Bread can be a problem for most people post WLS. But it is a really crappy choice, so it's not something any of us should be eating regularly. I never touched it until I was well past goal.

    Since it bothers you, and it lacks any significant nutritional value, staying away from it would be best.

    Thank you. My cousin has an Ezekiel bread cookbook coming out in two weeks. I will have to order it so I have it in Germany. Definitely worth a try.

    I can do toasted bread, but I tried to do a slice of bread with tuna salad on a camping vacation and it felt like it got stuck and I started salivating like you described. I can do low carb wraps and saltine crackers in limited quantities without a problem though. Good luck on your move!
