Hi:

I received my 2nd fill last week and do (Thank God) have restriction. It seems I cannot tolerate pasta. I had a lean cuisine today for lunch(fettucinne & chicken) and had about three bites and spent the next 30 minutes sliming and if I understand it correctly PBing. Not fun.

Anyone else with that problem,

Thanks,

Michelle:rolleyes:

Pasta? Ravioli? Noodles? Rice? I don't understand why you are even trying to eat these things! We are instructed to eat protein first, then eat good carbs (i.e., greens, beans, etc). Pasta, ravioli and noodles are not good carbs...they have no nutritional value. Life without the white starchy foods is healthier, produces weight loss quicker, and helps eliminate cravings. They digest so quickly that it cause our blood sugar to rise then drop quickly - then our brain thinks we are hungry when we really aren't. Detoxing the starches from your body will make life much easier and you won't feel as deprived as you do when you are craving and having to depend on will power.

If you can get a small amount of pasta down, with a meat sauce, like 10 pieces of ziti, does that mean you need more restriction?

I was banded 4/23/2007 and pasta is one of the few foods that I still cannot tolerate.
