I wanted to try it as well. Pasta was one of my downfalls so I am afraid to try it. I ahve had a little Pasta since surgery' date=' I mean bites, and it doesnt sit well though. It is supposed to be ok carb wise.

Ok I jusg checked and there are 41 carbs minus the 5 Fiber. So 36 carbs. Way too much. I suppose it is lower carb compared to regular pasta but not nearly low enough for us![/quote']

Rice is more my pitfall and I haven't even had a grain lol but I was thinking of starting to use the dreamfields for ny husband and daughter too so thought maybe a spoonful would be ok lol

I was thinking about it after I posted yesterday. The little bit we eat wont be the 36 grams of carbs! Five or so bites would probably fill you up and you need some carbs in your diet. If you try it let us know how it is!

I don't eat Pasta, rice, potatoes or bread at all either. I have had a tortilla in a pinch....but otherwise ther only carb I have added in was a bit of fruit. I have a hard enough fitting in enough Protein. I don't have room for Pasta. Although, it would probably help me keep my calorie count up. Problem is I think it's a slippery slope.

Gonna have to google this one. No idea what protected carbs are. ;) Only grams would make it awesome though!

Had my 6 month appointment today. Bloodwork is fine, just need to cut down on B12 as it was too high. Otherwise I have done great with Vitamins. Weight was at 226 which is down 114 total and 77 from surgery. He said im at 67% of my excess weight gone! So they are very happy at my overall and said I am better than average for loss. Doesnt feel that way to me but I guess we go with the statistics! ;)

You look great! I know I have always felt slow like you. My doctor said the same thing... that I was ahead of average. Maybe slow and steady wins the race?

I should post a picture of my 6 month but honestly I think that there is someone here that I don't want to see my pictures. I haven't told many people about the surgery. Can you block one person?

You all need to look at magic noodle. I believe it's called that. The Quest website has them I do believe.

      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.
