Can you eat carbs???

Just curious, I am about 19 months out and can't eat any bread, pasta, rice..etc. Which really is a good thing. Every time I try they get stuck! Not fun....

Im only 4 weeks out so not thinking about carbs anytime soon. Most vets that I have hard from say no carbs. I do have a friend who is 10 months out and she can do sandwich thins but not bread of any kind.

Read the post incorrectly.  No comment on this.  Only 2 months out...

I am 8 months post-op and yes I can eat carbs and have been for several months. I eat protein-, quinoa- and whole grain pastas; whole grain breads, crackers, waffles; brown rice, quinoa and oatmeal. I eat very small portions of each, typically one-half of what the documented "portion" size is on the box.

Thank you for your reply...I just can't get them down...lol

If you have a sleeve you can't really get stuck, there is nothing in there to get stuck on.  Bands and bypass have a pouch and stoma, THEY get stuck.  Sleeves and DS have no stoma for food to get stuck in.

There is a difference between not tolerating a food and getting stuck.  BIG huge mega difference.

I had a band also... believe me it gets STUCK! It is not like I am a newbie... lol..

Then when that happens you probably need to go to an ER because we have no stoma for anything to get stuck in unless you swallow a piece of bread whole.

Hi, I'm sorry but you are incorrect. If there is any type of stricture, food WILL get stuck which is why I am still on clear liquids? Praying that I have no issues if my surgeon does advance me to full on Friday. Before, I couldn't even do protein shakes because they were too thick!
