I'm over 2 months post-op and my sleeve just can't handle bread, at all. It makes me nauseous and uncomfortable. As for pasta, even whole grain just sits like a brick in my sleeve. I'm Italian as well and now I have to pass up on Sunday dinner (usually pasta) and instead make something for me. I struggled with this at first, but it's almost fun now because I've found such a different passion for food-- to create things that taste GREAT and are good for you! I've cooked dinner quite a few times for my family and they don't give a hoot about how nutritious it all is, but they go on about how great everything tastes! You may feel heart broken for a while, for me it was like a divorce or a death, but those feelings will fade with time. All those carbs are crappy fuel anyway, and your body is the most important machine in your life. Put good in, get good out. :] Good luck to you!
Will I ever be able to eat my Faves again?
