I'm afraid to try to eat it. I'm afraid of sliming or throwing up. I'm afraid of pain. I'm afraid it will go down easy and my food addict brain will pounce.

Pasta hurts. Low carb. Whole grain. Regular. One to two bites and it hurts. I suspect bread dull beg the same.

The closest I've come to bread is a low carb tortilla. It takes me 45 minutes to finish it when I make my Breakfast wrap.

Skinny pouty and seductive!!!

Femme fatale. That's me.... NOT! Lol

Love the name of this thread! I can eat pretty much anything so choose to stay away from bread' date=' rice, Pasta etc. If I want to keep losing at this stage, I have to stick with Proteins. But my nemesis is cake. Every kind. I desperately want to like it and on occasion - like a birthday - I want to eat it. But every time, my sleeve she say NO after a couple of small mouthfuls... Now this may be a good thing long term but given all the other crap I could eat but choose not to, why is it that the only thing I would love to eat I can't????[/quote']

Damn you cake!

I know that high sugar and high fat foods upset my stomach. A blessing and a curse.

I can eat 1/2 of a sandwhich thin, but regular bread is completely out! I also used to love bread and pasta. I can eat very miniscule amounts of pasta but it's like a lead balloon in my sleeve, so I will only do it once in a while.

Yeah, I agree. Thanx to previous experiences I avoid those foods too.

Oddly enough rice doesn't "hurt". I fill up fast' date=' but no pain like pasta. Pasta lands like a brick, instant discomfort.[/quote'] tip for pasta make sure it's throughly cooked not al dente because al dente pasta will continue to expand in your sleeve and thoroughly cooked pasta won't..

Thanx for the tip! I will do that plus break it up into smaller pieces before cooking it as well.

no need for all of that just cook it until it's soft a little pasta sauce I like lots of sauce and meat I almost never eat a whole serving of pasta just a couple fork fulls does the job

Pasta is a no-go for me for the most part. I get the brick feeling too.

Bread, OTOH, is easy for me to digest for the most part. If I eat it on it's own (with butter or cheese spread for breakfast only on the weekends as a treat) it's okay but if I have it as half a hamburger or something, it expands too much and I get sick. It's okay if I eat 1-2 bites of a roll when we go out to a restaurant and I wait for our main course to arrive before eating something else.

I don't eat it everyday or even each week but I don't completely stay away. It really is more like having dessert for me since sweet stuff causes my acid reflux to act up and I stay away from most desserts now at all costs. Bread is my dessert now.
