I love my pouch when a 6-inch sub makes two meals

Tonight I decided I wanted Subway for dinner, mostly because I was too lazy to go grocery shopping today and didn't have much to cook.  I  just love it when I can spend $4.50 on a 6-inch sub and it makes two meals!  I'll probably eat the other half for a snack later.

That's awesome! :)

What do you do with the bread? Do you have them hollow it out? Bread and pasta are such triggers for me. I'm afraid to try them when the time comes. I'm pretty sure I won't ever try pasta, but I don't know about bread yet.

Mostly I eat it.  Sometimes I don't eat all of it, but no, I don't have them hollow it out.  They will do that if you ask, though.  I don't have a problem tolerating bread, though.  I don't buy bread or keep it in the house, for the most part, although sometimes lately I have been buying bagels.  I tend to eat a lot of bread if I have it on hand and if I eat too much bread, then I end up not getting in my protein.  But I don't go to Subway often, maybe once a month or less, and eating a 6-inch bun once a month isn't going to be a problem for me.

I don't eat pasta if I can help it, because it feels uncomfortably heavy in my pouch.

You are such a breath of fresh air to me, I'm so afraid my pouch will grow back to full size. No foundation for this, just my negative side.

It can't grow back to its full size.  Never ever.  It's supposed to stretch a little, and it's possible though rare for it to stretch  more than normal, but it can't ever go back to its pre-surgery size.

Thank You, have a good week.

i do the same thing - but that's with most meals when we eat out - I have dinner that night, lunch the next day and sometimes even dinner/lunch again!  I can't eat the bread, but a bite or two - it doesn't sit well with me.

I didn't realize you could ever have bread, pasta or rice after RNY!  That was the 1st thing my surgeon told me to ensure I would be serious about doing the right thing post op and not go after my favorite comfort foods.  I loved fresh baked bread and said adios to it 2 weeks ago.  I would have to be careful to try it though, since it is such a trigger for me when stress-eating prior to surgery.  Since I am less than 1 week post-op, I have no plans in the near future of having a slice but it is nice to know some of us can.
