My friend is two years out. She can eat a little Pasta but not rice. It puffs up in her stomach.

I am 2 years out and I can eat pretty much anything now. I would not recommend Pasta and rice often because carbs can cause regain quickly!

I am 5 weeks out and had spaghetti. I didn't use alot of noodles. But some with more meat and a little sauce. I had to use healthy noodles. But it was awesome.

Any Pasta scares me completely. Eating just a little is a recipe for puking all day. Then dehydration and miserable. Happier not even trying!

My entire appetite has changed. Im very picky on food now. I find meats sort of greasy tasting and hate all of them. oatmeal and popsicles are cool. Any sort of Reese's crackers are cool. I like straight broth Soups. coffee is damn wonderful. I can live on coffee alone!

If you want Pasta such as spaghetti, penne, elbow Mac etc. there is a brand called Dreamfields. It is made especially for diabetics. A normal serving of pasta has around 42 g of carbs. This pasta has 5 g net carbs per serving. Tastes just like regular pasta. Enjoy!

You could also use spaghetti squash for the noodles. I haven't tried it since surgery, but liked it before.

My 16yo daughter and I love spaghetti squash for spaghetti.

Also, read an article that stated if you soak Pasta after its cooked in milk for 30 seconds it helps reduce the absorption of the carbs. Not sure of its validity and haven't tried it.

      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.
