I'm not on this stage yet, but can we have things like rice noodles or gluten free Pasta to replace regular noodles? And what about rice and gluten free crackers?

Thanks!

I think it depends on your tummy tolerance. I've noticed many people avoid the carbs because it takes up too much room in the new tummy. I've also seen people eating burgers and sandwiches and, yes, Pasta. Of course, the servings are teeny :)

When you eat carbs. Try very hard to have a complex carb. Then it becomes a complete Protein which will help you feed your body!

Also remember that gluten free has nothing to do with low carb, or no carb.

My doc told me to have a Protein and a bit of veggies, and that's pretty much it. Very little Pasta, bread, etc.

Anything from rice can swell in your stomach which is not good.

And have you ever read the ingredients on gluten free stuff? It is usually full of sugar and other things that aren't necessarily good for you

Are you gluten intolerant? Like Arielle said, gluten has nothing to do with carbs.

Yes, you can have anything you like as long as you eat your Protein first, then veggies, and then carbs.

      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.
