Can you eat pasta?

No problems! But unlike aPP, I find it best not too well cooked.  Kate

I have no problems with pasta either. I do find it is a bit of a slider for me though

 Since my 2nd fill this week, I have to say that I'm truly limited in the amount of food intake i can eat, especially when it comes to carbs and pasta.....

I can eat a sushi roll with rice very very slowly....i love japanese sushi rolls!

pasta feels too painful to get down thru the band.....

I will try some soft lasagna, maybe this week....just a few bites, cuz I do love pasta!!!!

I haven't tried yet.  I no doubt will try it later on down the road.  I do love pasta.  I would choose the whole wheat one when and if I do though.   Just be careful if you do try it.  Small amts and chew well as usual.

Unfortunatly I have no problems with Pasta or breads (wish I did LOL) although I do eat gluten free versions which may have something to do with it and my breads are toasted.

I most certainly can't eat as much as I used to and I do allow myself one starchy carb at dinner..either potatoes, bread or pasta............

First of al the band controls portions for me....I can basically eat anything.  Pasta...YES, as long as it is hot.  Once it cools to room temperature....forget about it.  I can eat thin, reg spaghetti, also angel hair.  The bigger pastas are tricky.  Like i said if they are hot and i chew th ehell out of them they will go down.

The band itsel is a tool.  For me it is tricky, some times i can eat pizza and bread, not much but a taste is good for me.  I can eat 2 pieces of pizza on one day and none at all on another.  Depends on the bread and the temperature for me.  

If you think the band does not limit what you eat you are wrong.  Tell my stomach that.  Without the band it would not be difficult for me to eat 8-10 pieces of pizza or 25- 30 bufffalo wings.  Now when i go out me and my wife share a salad and a piece of pizza.  She is 120 lbs and often eats more than i can.  We used to get 30 wings and share them, now we get 18 and im lucky to get 3 0r 4 down.

By the way i love pasta there is a brand called "Dreamfields" which is delicious and is made with low carbs and non digestible carbs.  My wife loves it too and she can easily sense the taste of low fat low carb products.  It is about twice the cost of reg pasta, but so what.

I have no problem with pasta. The first year I was banded I had trouble with foods and breakfast but found out it was only because my band was to tight. I have no problem with breads, fruit, meat or pasta just really have to eat them in moderation

Thanks for all the answers. Not going to try for a while. But someday maybe..
