Do you eat Pasta and/or bread? I am afraid to so I really haven't yet and was just wondering what others do

I'm 9 months out and have never eaten bread, Pasta, or rice. Wasn't part of my surgeons post op diet. His suggestion was high Protein, low carb low, sugar diet. I only deviate from that every 7 to 10 days when I will "shock" my system with foods it isn't accustomed to.

I eat Pasta, in moderation and I try to stick with whole wheat Pasta. bread, however...NOT my friend. I just cannot get it go to down and if I do manage to, I get sick. Therefore, I just leave it alone.

Good luck!

Once in a while. Can go down fine or really cause a problem.

Got to know when to quit cuz one bite to many and it's all over.

Here is where the rules really apply:

1. small bites

2. eat slowly (put your fork down between bites)

3. chew chew chew

On any given day it can not agree with me but then again... same can be said for yogurt?

I also eat them once in a while. I did have my first stuck episode with bread the other day, but it was the heel and it was a gf loaf of bread, very thick and dry. So when and if I try again, I will be much more careful.

I'm 7 months post op an have no problems eating Pasta or bread. Everyone is different, it's trial and error for us. If you do try take small bits and chew like crazy.

I am 8 months out (almost 9!) and I have yet to try Pasta. It just doesn't seem.worth it to me. I would much rather have a veggie burger with sauce and ricotta than pasta with the same things.

I can only eat really crusty breads. For example, I had black bean Soup at panera yesterday and was able to eat the outer layer of the bread that comes with it. There is no way the doughy middle would have worked.

I am 4 months post op and even though I chew Pasta it still isn't my friend so I steer clear of it most of the time. Hard breads I can eat but nothing doughy.

I feel like the only thing I don't get sick from is rice pudding. breads of any kind Pasta and some meat make me sick I spit up alot I guess I just gotta cope. I was a veg for 5 yrs may have to go back to that. I do have a problem with broccoli though. Any suggestions

You probably need a tiny unfill. If you can't eat solid Protein & veggies without a problem you are too tight. Rice pudding is a slider!! It goes down easy but won't fill you up like protein will and you will not lose weight. If you are drinking enough Water, taking tiny bites & chewing your food to mush and you can't keep it down then you need an unfill. Make sure the brocolli is well cooked too- not crunchy or raw. Good luck.

I can nibble on the hard parts of Olive Garden bread stick ( like a mouse bite). I can eat Pasta with Alfredo if it is really wet and baby bites. Bread is not my friend. I've had bruschetta on crustinni. Anything yeasty, doughy, pizza that is thick, or white bread or rice will give me a stuck episode...all of it bad for you and got me heavy in the first place. I can have a cornmeal pancake with Syrup.< /p>

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
