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>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
