Are you able to eat breads, crossiants?
Hi Marchers
I am now on soft foods, I had a 1/4 piece of a grilled cheese sandwich today, I was wanting to know, will we be evenutally able to eat crossiants? I like the bacon & egg crossiant at Burger King, I am losing weight but am hardly eating at all but once a day because the protein drink and water fills me up, I am down 21 pound now. Have you had bread yet?
Thank you
Tori
Tori,
Although I will eventually be able to have it (after week4), do I really want it? No, especially after reading an earlier post today regarding carbs and the impact they have on burning the fat. I like those sandwiches also, but I'd rather opt to take it apart and just eat the egg,cheese and bacon.
mgm
do you know that you can puree your grilled cheese sandwich? cheeseburger? french toast?
i haven't gotten to puree yet but my nutrion info from btc gives me directions for this.....
as for the croissants--oh gosh how i love them--and can probably attribute at least 25 # of the 110 i need to lose to them!!!! so----no--i don't think so for me!
I've had bread. I made a "sandwich" out of a slice of whole wheat bread, which I toasted and smushed because I wanted to try to minimize expansion of the bread in my pouch, a slice of deli turkey and a slice of low-fat American cheese. It's 151 cal, 4g fat, 16g protein. I eat between 1/2 and 3/4 of it, depending.
The bacon, egg, and cheese croissanwich is 360 cal, 22 g fat and 15g protein. I know you won't be able to eat a lot of it but that's a pretty lousy fat to protein ratio. The croissant alone is 7g fat, 5g protein.

You may find that when you're ready to try it, you don't want it as much.
Take care,
