Will I ever eat pasta again?

areellady · May 23, 2007

I do not have fill as of yet, and I have had a small amount of rice and pizza. I have not had Pasta yet or bread. I think the bread I can live without but pasta is so versatile and can be used in SO many dishes. I don't know why I have not tried it as of yet, I guess I am scared too. My tastes have definitely changed. I dont have the cravings from eating carbs all the time though, so maybe that is it. Deanna

I don't understand how things taste differently. chocolate still tastes like chocolate and other foods the same. I don't crave red meat though anymore. I have a fear that steak will get "stuck". I tried eating a burger w/ out bread and that didn't fly so well. Again, I don't know how your taste buds change. Or is it you don't crave it anymore?

Your taste buds dont change but you stop wanting things if they're hard to eat - like I said, I eat Pasta, rice and bread but I'd eat a slice of bread once in a blue moon - its difficult to eat, I have to chew it VERY carefully and it fills me up - to the point of discomfort if I dont watch it. Its also one of those foods for me that I think has gone down fine and OUCH, five minutes later. So its a rarity that I would choose to eat it, when I'm thinking "hmmm, what will I have to luch, I think sandwich?Nah..".

Ditto donuts etc. They still taste excellent! But they're most definitely not worth the trouble.

Ha! I must be a really slow learner. Or maybe I'm just stubborn. The only PB I've had was 2 days after my last fill and it was on the chicken in my chicken Pasta Parmesan that I eat every day for lunch. I still eat it every day, but I'm more careful of the chicken, especially when I get a really dry piece. A PB isn't going to keep me from the food I like!

I find cake, donuts, and thick breads are not worth the pain that occurs after eating them. So now I understand what you were saying before. I find it is not worth and the other thought is that those things are what got me to the place needing my lap-band. I try to eat so much healthier now. I will eat a piece of chocolate if I really have the craving.
