my nutritionist told me yesterday that I could have small portions of carbs once I am 6-8 months out...she discouraged me, though, for things like the pasta and bread (I am Italian and love them, too), because they can trigger cravings again and definitely stall any further weight loss...I am hoping that months of healthier eating will put an end to my carb cravings, but I can't imagine never having pasta or a piece of bread again

You will be able to eat your favorites again! Just have to give it sometime. I am only 1 1/2 months post op, but I can eat just about anything, just not so much of course. You still have to be careful and make good choices, but done sensibly you can have anything. You will have to watch the pastas and bread (carbs). I try to limit mine, but not completely ban them from my diet. When I eat lasagna or something like that, I will take one bite then try to pick the meat and cheese out leaving mostly pasta. Of course, I still can only eat 4 bites and I am stuffed! I have lost my cravings for sweets almost completely and I find the bread cravings are slowing down. Still have trouble determining hunger pains from thirst, but I'm getting there. Hang in there!

you can eat whatever you desire once you're back on regular foods... but do you WANT to eat the things that caused the gain? yes... you will still lose... but at a much slower rate (I'm a living witness) Trust your decision to have the surgery...

Don't worry you can eat them/ I am a little over 2 mos out and am eating anything I want. and yes - I lose slowly because of it. but that's ok. I'm still losing and happy ( mostly) with what I eat.
