My friend is two years out. She can eat a little Pasta but not rice. It puffs up in her stomach.

I am 2 years out and I can eat pretty much anything now. I would not recommend Pasta and rice often because carbs can cause regain quickly!

I am 5 weeks out and had spaghetti. I didn't use alot of noodles. But some with more meat and a little sauce. I had to use healthy noodles. But it was awesome.

Any Pasta scares me completely. Eating just a little is a recipe for puking all day. Then dehydration and miserable. Happier not even trying!

My entire appetite has changed. Im very picky on food now. I find meats sort of greasy tasting and hate all of them. oatmeal and popsicles are cool. Any sort of Reese's crackers are cool. I like straight broth Soups. coffee is damn wonderful. I can live on coffee alone!

If you want Pasta such as spaghetti, penne, elbow Mac etc. there is a brand called Dreamfields. It is made especially for diabetics. A normal serving of pasta has around 42 g of carbs. This pasta has 5 g net carbs per serving. Tastes just like regular pasta. Enjoy!

You could also use spaghetti squash for the noodles. I haven't tried it since surgery, but liked it before.

My 16yo daughter and I love spaghetti squash for spaghetti.

Also, read an article that stated if you soak Pasta after its cooked in milk for 30 seconds it helps reduce the absorption of the carbs. Not sure of its validity and haven't tried it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
