I am 10 weeks out now, but that was on January 31st. I can eat anything now!

Did you use regular semolina/white pasta or did you use a whole wheat or other type of spaghetti? I am not eating much food at all although I have only run into one negative food (avocado). I have managed two turkey meatballs with sauce.

I used just regular spaghetti but i didn't realize i was supposed to be havng whole grain. I probably won't be having much pasta anyway since my husband and I both can't stand whole wheat pasta!

Last night I had a piece of pizza for the first time! Went down fine. Didn't eat the end crust. YUM.

When I make spaghetti & meatballs (either lean ground beef or turkey meatballs) for my family I try to eat 3 of the meatballs, a good serving of the sauce and just a tiny bite or two of the Pasta. The pasta fills me up too quickly, and it's really empty carbs without any other significant nutritional value.

I'm not trying to be judgemental, but it's important to remember that just because you CAN eat something doesn't necessarily mean that you should. Stick to your dense Proteins, veggies, and watch the carbs as best you can. Some people have to stay extremely low-carb to continue losing, while I find I don't need to be quite as vigilant about avoiding the carbs - but even if you're not carb-intolerant, most carb-heavy foods will fill up your sleeve without giving you the Protein and other nutrients you need.
