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.

      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.
