I wanted to try it as well. Pasta was one of my downfalls so I am afraid to try it. I ahve had a little Pasta since surgery' date=' I mean bites, and it doesnt sit well though. It is supposed to be ok carb wise.

Ok I jusg checked and there are 41 carbs minus the 5 Fiber. So 36 carbs. Way too much. I suppose it is lower carb compared to regular pasta but not nearly low enough for us![/quote']

Rice is more my pitfall and I haven't even had a grain lol but I was thinking of starting to use the dreamfields for ny husband and daughter too so thought maybe a spoonful would be ok lol

I was thinking about it after I posted yesterday. The little bit we eat wont be the 36 grams of carbs! Five or so bites would probably fill you up and you need some carbs in your diet. If you try it let us know how it is!

I don't eat Pasta, rice, potatoes or bread at all either. I have had a tortilla in a pinch....but otherwise ther only carb I have added in was a bit of fruit. I have a hard enough fitting in enough Protein. I don't have room for Pasta. Although, it would probably help me keep my calorie count up. Problem is I think it's a slippery slope.

Had my 6 month appointment today. Bloodwork is fine, just need to cut down on B12 as it was too high. Otherwise I have done great with Vitamins. Weight was at 226 which is down 114 total and 77 from surgery. He said im at 67% of my excess weight gone! So they are very happy at my overall and said I am better than average for loss. Doesnt feel that way to me but I guess we go with the statistics! ;)

You look great! I know I have always felt slow like you. My doctor said the same thing... that I was ahead of average. Maybe slow and steady wins the race?

I should post a picture of my 6 month but honestly I think that there is someone here that I don't want to see my pictures. I haven't told many people about the surgery. Can you block one person?

You all need to look at magic noodle. I believe it's called that. The Quest website has them I do believe.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
