I was told no pastas no bread until goal weight. pastas and breads have carbs in them that turn to sugar during digestion.

I was told no types of bread or Pasta for 6months at least.. I don't dare try anything my surgent told me not to.. what's the point of this surgery if were just gonna eat the same fatty foods..

You should be able to have everything, moderation is the whole point of any bariatric surgery. I have pasta most days I'm 6 weeks post op. I've lost 3 stone (42lb) 4 stone to go

.I serve every meal in a little ramakin with two table spoons of food in. We need to have a balanced diet and gain control of our mind. Refined sugar isn't on our menu, but a LITTLE pasta with fish, meat and sauce....no worries. The hardest part of this whole process is learning how to eat again but eating right! Xx

I am not supposed to have bread, rice, or Pasta until 6mos either, not because they are carbs, but because they are often not tolerated.

Hi Shonabear!

Thanks for your thoughts! I am now 3 weeks post op. I have a really hard time getting my liquids in but other than that all is great. I'm now down 15 pounds and 23 inches. I have started eating regular food...soft foods including some soft meats. I have not....at least to this point had any complications or discomfort. I've not had any pain since the day after surgery. I'm so very thankful I'm doing this well!

I'm 3 weeks out. I can't have any breads or meats yet. My surgeon allows his patients to have Pasta, as long as you chew very well. I've had no problems. Down 30 pounds.

      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!!
