I was just wondering if anyone's surgeon told them not to eat pasta bread and rice. I see a lot of people eating these items. I'm not going to eat them I was just curious.

Not saying what others should do, but in maintenance I do eat some brown rice (it's a whole grain), some Pasta (as a treat and when I feel I need to gain some weight -- yeah, that can happen early in maintenance), but very rarely white potatoes, which just don't appeal to me post-op.

Okay I'm so confused. Argh. You are all saying that carbs clog you up, but for me, I can't seem to get down meat! Cheese works but meat gets super stuck. I've lost soooooo much weight I've been eating whatever Incan to try and find what works and I have better luck with things that are wrapped in bread or tortillas. Why do I have to be so abnormal. I hate having to eat carbs.

I wasn't told to eliminate carbs just the bad over processed white ones I can have whole grain pasta bread and red skinned potatoes but honestly since eliminating the bad carbs I rarely crave any carbs

My doc said NO, NEVER EVER.

I was told no to all three, and i dont miss any of them as there is always another alternative available. I use a lot of quinoa as a replacement for rice and its really good source of protein and fibre amongst other benefits! I have tried eating bread and pasta, they both make me feel quite unwell so i just say no to them. No big deal really.

They won't be on my list of 'to have foods' no matter what. My NUT said I can have Pasta now (7weeks out). No thanks!
