I keep seeing P28 pop up a lot. I Googled it and was wondering how you like it. Also I'm only 9 days out of surgery it's way too early for me to try. Around what time in your journey did you try it?

The bread? I find the texture off -- it's very chewy & heavier than most breads. My plan allows for whole grain breads and I stick with those.

Like everything else food wise it is a toss up as to what you will like post op. I'm six months post op so haven't eaten much bread but when I do have decided to stick with thin sliced whole grains that meets my guidelines for sugar and fat content. The couple of "special" breads that I tried felt heavy in my pouch and didn't seem to agree with my digestive system. Thin whole grain breads have worked best for me when I make pizza for lunch. 1/2 of the thin grain buns has very little sugar and fat or calories. I look at it as a healthy carb.

That would be me.

It is high protein because they both add whey I believe and it has more gluten - wheat protein. The gluten KILLS me. Ugh! Taste is ok but texture...yikes!

Hahahahaha! That's too funny. I have heard also it's similar to eating wet cardboard.

I couldn't do bread for a L O N G time. Now, I only do it toasted and I use the double fiber wheat.

Early on I used Flat Outs when I wanted a sandwich-either the sandwich thins or the wraps. Still use the wraps....love em!
