hi kate yes give it a try, carefull with pasta tho as alot of banders find it sticks, this usually happens if not chewed well enough or is eaten to quickly, chew it well and you should be ok x

i normally just have spag bol no pasta, but you wont know what you can tollerate at this stage until you try it x

Hi Liz, even though I havn't had my 1st fill yet will I still know if I can tolerate pasta? Is there mush restriction etc without a fill or is my tummy still more or less normal?

it will be more or less normal unless they gave you a fill during surgery, you will still be healing and thats why you need to build up slowly with food textures.

I got 1ml during surgery and have my 1st fill on 31st July

I take it I will know if I eat something that I cant tolerate anymore, do I get pain or something? Im finding it really hard to not drink while eating, had an omelette this morning and I was choking for a drink to wash it down!

yes you will know as you will get a feeling in your pouch when you first feel that feeling then stop eating or you may vomit, please avoid drinking with meals as it defeats the object of the band being there pushing food through isnt a good idea as the food is supposed to stay in the pouch giving the full feeling x

I have had spag bol but had to chop up the spaghetti. It went down ok but pasta tubes are a no no. I don't seem to be able to get them down even though I chew really lots.
