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.

      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.
