When i can start having bread with foods?

I would never suggest you vary from your own surgeons' eating protocol, but I can tell you that my surgeon's protocol of eating "anything that can be chewed to a liquid" worked just fine for me from Day 6 on. 

It's really a common sense approach, and you'll have to use your good minds to first guess which foods can do this, then only swallow those test foods that actually do. 

Take small bites and chew, chew, chew, chew, chew until it's a liquid.  You're basically doing the job of the blender, and if you're anything like me, the chewing is much more satisfying than swallowing mush that's already been liquified.

Have a paper napkin handy in which to deposit those things that don't chew to a liquid.  Don't swallow anything that doesn't fit that requirement.

Have some tea or warm water nearby to prime the pump and get your esophagus relaxed.

Honestly, I didn't have any trouble with that eating plan.  Sure, everyone who's recovering has their share of spasms and things that don't swallow comfortably, but I never had any serious hold-ups.

That said, I did have the very common collection of food and liquids that tend to sit at the wrap and not make the complete trip through.  It's not that some of it didn't get through...it's just that it didn't all finish the journey.

That's why, after eating it's good to drink water or tea.  The swallows help push any residual foods into the stomach where it belongs.

Happy Eating!

Unfortunately, it will be the better part of valor on your part to give up those really gassy veggies (my favorites, too) for a few more weeks.  Once things have healed more and your stomach, esophagus, and wrap are feeling more normal, you can start introducing a LITTLE of these foods and see how you do.  I would definitely recommend BEANO when you do that.  I think I relied on BEANO when I ate gassy foods for at least a year...maybe a little longer.  Better to be safe than sorry.  I don't need to take it anymore, although occasionally, I (and others around me) may wish I did!

I think you saw the URL to the document that provides eating suggestions, didn't you?  I'd follow that, as it points out what you shouldn't eat.  Really, just use your common sense.

Anything you eat should be cooked soft.  If you like your pasta and veggies el dente, you'll have to give that up for a while. 

I can't emphasize enough the need to spend some time after eating sipping water to keep those swallows going.  So many people start getting what they call "reflux", when in reality it's just food that hasn't made it through the wrap.

You can do this!

Here's a link for BEANO via Amazon UK.  I don't know how much it is because I'm not fluent in your currency, but check it out:

You'll have to scroll down a bit on the page.

Good luck!

You are very welcome!

The link I gave Solivar is the same one I mentioned to you:
