Will I ever eat pasta again?



Recommended Posts

I do not have fill as of yet, and I have had a small amount of rice and pizza. I have not had Pasta yet or bread. I think the bread I can live without but pasta is so versatile and can be used in SO many dishes. I don't know why I have not tried it as of yet, I guess I am scared too. My tastes have definitely changed. I dont have the cravings from eating carbs all the time though, so maybe that is it. Deanna

I don't understand how things taste differently. chocolate still tastes like chocolate and other foods the same. I don't crave red meat though anymore. I have a fear that steak will get "stuck". I tried eating a burger w/ out bread and that didn't fly so well. Again, I don't know how your taste buds change. Or is it you don't crave it anymore?

Your taste buds dont change but you stop wanting things if they're hard to eat - like I said, I eat Pasta, rice and bread but I'd eat a slice of bread once in a blue moon - its difficult to eat, I have to chew it VERY carefully and it fills me up - to the point of discomfort if I dont watch it. Its also one of those foods for me that I think has gone down fine and OUCH, five minutes later. So its a rarity that I would choose to eat it, when I'm thinking "hmmm, what will I have to luch, I think sandwich?Nah..".

Ditto donuts etc. They still taste excellent! But they're most definitely not worth the trouble.

Ha! I must be a really slow learner. Or maybe I'm just stubborn. The only PB I've had was 2 days after my last fill and it was on the chicken in my chicken Pasta Parmesan that I eat every day for lunch. I still eat it every day, but I'm more careful of the chicken, especially when I get a really dry piece. A PB isn't going to keep me from the food I like!

I find cake, donuts, and thick breads are not worth the pain that occurs after eating them. So now I understand what you were saying before. I find it is not worth and the other thought is that those things are what got me to the place needing my lap-band. I try to eat so much healthier now. I will eat a piece of chocolate if I really have the craving.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
