I just ate a cup of Pasta with a tuna/tomato sauce. It was SO very good. The pasta mixture was in the freezer, and I had not eaten a good lunch. SOOO, I defrosted it and ate it. I have no idea how to put this information in my calorie counter and I am ashamed of myself for eating it. I have not had pasta since banding. I am disgusted with myself! What do I need to do to get back on the wagon.:(:unsure:

Wow, you are being very hard on yourself,,,,you ate nutritiously and not high calorie so please stop beating yourself up!!!! Unless you are on a liquid diet...then spank yourself, otherwise carry on!!! What do you think was wrong with what you ate?

I have been very careful not to eat Pasta, and I slipped. You are probably right, but I am so afraid that I will do something to sabotage myself and gain weight back. I have been on too many diets, too many times, and always gained the weight back, and more.

Thank you so much, for setting me straight. I appreciate your words.

Pasta is not all bad. Fair amount of protien. One cup... no big deal.

I'm a calorie counter, not a carb counter, so I eat Pasta once in a great while. As long as I stay within my daily calorie intake, I don't rule out any food.

Good Luck to you!

If you are one of the lucky ones that can eat Pasta, go for it...of course whole wheat cardboard, I mean pasta is better for you, but unless you get issues from a food it is good to get nutrition from all of the food groups...and the sauce with tuna was an outstanding nutritional choice. Just measure the pasta and keep it to a normal serving size.

Since I don't know what type of pasta you ate nor how much try going here and see if this helps you find the calories: http://caloriecount.about.com/tag/food/pasta

Hope that helps!:rolleyes:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
