Sherrie, I once thought I could never eat bread again but today I have bread with oatmeal for my breakfast every morning. The trick is for every bite of bread I need to take some oatmeal in milk to wash it down. Don't be ambitious at the beginning because it may choke you in the midway. Start with soft bread and let the liquid dissolve it in the mouth first before swallowing. As for weight gain, I regained all my lost weight a year post treatment but I know some people whose weight did not go up no matter how much he ate. As long as the weight does not go down like what it is during the treatment, I think we need not worry about it.
