Eat it if you can tolerate it?  I use to not be able to but I find i can eat spaghetti I eat a small amount about a half a cup a serving to be on the safe side with pesto sauce (mixed bag) with water, peppers,onions and spinach.  It taste wonderful and I'm only eating a small amout do you think that is bad or I should add something to it?  The pasta is whole wheat by the way.

You can eat anything you want as long as you dont get sick with it or it makes you sick, or it makes you stuck :o)

You didnt get the band so you cant eat this or that anymore you got the band to control your portion sizes and to curb your hunger that is all the band is suppose to do :o)

I can eat pasta also but at this time I dont eat it because it has so many carbs in it and right now Im just cutting way back on carbs well no more then 40-60 per day .

But like I said this is my choice if you can eat it then go for it :o)  Jus****ch how much you eat of it, and how often you eat it .  You dont want to be eating pasta everyday that wouldnt be good but once a week I do not see a problem with that all

Hello

I don't eat pasta anymore because such a small amount fills me up and then I can't eat protein.  So when I say I can't eat pasta or bread...I can, I just choose not to because it fills me up too much.  There are some things that fill me faster than others...bread instance.  Since I was told to eat protein first, then veggies, then carbs...I don't usually have much tummy space left after eating everything else.     

I'm glad it's wheat pasta your eating.  White pasta is a simple processed carb and is best avoided when you are in your "losing weight phase".  Your meal sounds very healthy but not much protien...I would add some meat to that.

I was just saying the other day how I miss lasagna and Olive Garden's Breadsticks...oh yummy!!!  But if I ate breadsticks I would have no room left for dinner and visa-versa.  Oh well.

you know I was never a fan of Olive Garden and I was never a big bread eater, but I went to Red Lobster the other week and I had them Cheddar Bay biscuits oh my gosh I thought I died and went to biscuit heaven lol I have never tasted something so good in my life especially bread and like I said Im not a big bread fan 90% of the time I can pass it up but dang I could make a meal out of them Red Lobster Biscuits lol.

Now I got a craving for lasagna lol if I wasnt in such a slump with my weight loss right now I would have me a small slice but I cant :o(

Yes you can.

Use thinly sliced Zucchini for the pasta.  Use 90/10 ground turkey instead of hamburger.

Use 2% cheeses.

Have small servings.

And remember, you were going to try upping your calorie intake to 1200 to 1500..

No one can give you a fill without your permission.  If she did.. it would be considered assault and you could have her arrested!!  

I understand what you're expressing.. that you feel pressured.  I just thought I'd try and lighten things a bit.   :)
