Can you eat bread when you have had a gastric band?
Maybe...maybe not!
I'm sorry I don't have a definite answer for you. There is some trial and error involved with the gastric band diet. Bread is one of the foods that is likely to cause problems, but there's a small possibility it won't.
Many surgeons tell their patients not to even try eating bread.
I say...
proceed with caution. Try
whole wheat bread. Take a very small bite (the size of a pea). Chew well (25-30 times). See what happens!
Also,
toasted bread seems to be better tolerated than untoasted bread.
