Can I eat bread on "Soft Diet"?

I was allowed bread on a the soft diet but it had to be toasted.  Bread can turn into a little dough ball and block your stoma.  This happened to me once.  It was toast but it was double fiber bread and I guess I didn't toast it enough and it was very painful.   I tend to stay away from it after that.

You can, but why would you want to?  It's nutritionally void and completely pointless this early out.

I was told no bread, rice or pasta this early out.

For me it was a mushy/pureed phase which meant yogurt, cottage cheese, mushy scrambled eggs with melted cheese, ricotta cheese, soups and I made egg/tuna and chicken salad in a food processor to make sure there were no pieces.  Bread is definitely not part of the soft food stage - it is very hard to digest and will get stuck.  You will be able to eat toasted bread much sooner than regular bread but not during soft foods.  That doesnt' come until solids.  Plus, you want to stick to proteins.

Thank you all so much. I appreciate everything you have said, and thanks so much for the food suggestions. I was giving a pamphlet of what to eat but it didn't say to stay away from bread. The reason I asked was because I am having such big cravings for carbs, carbs, carbs. I am still in the "full liquid" stage, but I am even having DREAMS about pizza, and bagels, and italian bread with butter. Its really stressing me out.
