Hello all! I am pre op and was just wondering for all of you that have had your surgery already if I will ever be able to eat bread and pastas again. I am not a sweets person, I am more of a breads and pastas kind a girl. Just wondering if I could get some ideas on this. I know I won't be able to eat a ton of it just wondering if I can at all. Thanks!

Everybody is different. Some say they can eat bread with no problem, some say it makes them feel queasy or too full. Pasta is off my list for life, so I can't comment on that. The carbs are just too much and there's better things to eat (IMO). A lot of people wait 2-3 months before they try bread. My nutritionist wanted me to wait a while or eat toast. I've never been a big bread eater, so it's not a big deal if I don't have any.

I just ate one of those mini pizzas from Pizza Hut I ate a quarter of it with the crust and the rest of it I ate just the top. It didnt bug me at all. I'm 5 months out.

You should be eating Protein and veggies to lose and maintain weight. But you will be able to eat breads again for sure , but a quarter of what you ate before.

I have had both bread and pasta, though honestly they were both a bit underwhelming after not having them for so long. I had a few bites of fettuccine and a little garlic bread at a work luncheon (it was all they provided, so I didn't have options) and it sat fine. As long as they're the exception, not the rule, it's all good. One of the reasons I chose the sleeve was so I didn't have to spend my life not eating certain things ever again.

I am 3 weeks out and have tried pasta and bread, but just tiny little bites, doesn't taste as good as it used to. I find I really am enjoying crackers and cheese. I use the reduced fat crackers and the laughing cow light cheese, only 30 cal per wedge and 3 G protein. Delicious.
