So, my diet plan says that I can have pasta during my soft foods stage. I know that ultimately pasta is not a good meal because no protein, too many carbs, etc but I'm just talking about this week until I start my regular diet the next week. But from everything I've read here, it seems like a lot of people get sick from pasta even months out? Has anyone tried pasta during the soft food stage and did it sit okay with you?? Thanks!

I did not try Pasta until about 2.1/2 months out, no issues for me. It will fill you up quick and like said before, no Protein in carbs.

That's weird. I start soft foods at the beginning of week 4 post-op, and that just seems too soon for pasta to me even though my plan says it's okay!

I wouldn't even bother with it. My plan says I can have oatmeal, but oatmeal is carbs. If I am going to have carbs I would rather they be more beneficial than oatmeal.

If you know Pasta is a trigger for you, just don't.

If you feel you have to have pasta, get one of these

I'm 2.5 months out and can't do Pasta. I don't have a big interest in it, but have tried a bite or two when my boyfriend eats it, more outta curiosity than anything. It doesn't sit well with me at all.

What about trying to do a veggie in place of the pasta? Mashed cauliflower is really good. So is zucchini.

We have a Veggeti and make zucchini noodles and that has been a nice substitute for Pasta. We mix ours with a small amount of sauce, and some ground been for Protein. No problem going down, although I still chew really well. Was so tasty our boys asked for seconds.

Oh cool! I've been thinking about trying zucchini noodles eventually with the Veggeti but wasn't sure if it'd work haha. That's awesome to hear! I'll have to get one.
