| Bread vs. low carb tortillas..hard to eat?
It seems like most lapbanders are having problems with eating bread. How about tortillas? Do they seem to cause the same problem as bread? I'd like to make some pizzas using tortillas and am worried that they could cause problems. Thanks for any advice!

I couldn't eat tortillas for about 2 years without serious slimming!!!
I rather lost my taste for them. I prefer things now without the tortilla.
Bread is a very rare item on my 'want to have some' list anymore. PreBand it was one of the major StuffIt group.
Pizza is pretty close to stir-fry with cheese melted over it.

I had a tortilla once and it was stuck for HOURS! I didn't PB or slime, but it was the worst pain since being banded I've every felt and the ONLY time I've gotten stuck. :) I haven't eaten one since and don't plan on it int he future!!
But, I can have a teeny piece of bread if I chew real well. Yum!

| My nutritionist said to toast your bread before you eat it, or have a sandwich with it.

My doctor told me to toast my bread also and I haven't had any problems except the one time I was starving and my first few bites I didn't chew well.....needless to say I learned my chewing lesson after having that I swallowed a golf ball feeling for a few moments.

In 16 months of being banded, I never PBd until I ate a biscuit. I thought that I was going to die, literally. I don't care much about bread, and I eat an occasional tortilla, usually Mama Lupe's Low-carb tortillas. With 2 grams net carb each, I usually make a pan-fried quesadilla, chew thoroughly, and eat slowly. Otherwise, I suffer for it.  | |
