Hi Tammy,
I'm 8 weeks post op too. I can eat a little pasta, but make up the bulk, if you can call it that, with protein veg and cheese. Like Ollie said, cook it until it's really soft and have lots of sauce and other things with it to coax your body to accept it. Maybe have a piece of lasagne or bolognese where the pasta makes up only a part of the meal. Keep trying. I would personally love some pasta'n'sauce, the batchelors packet, but I know that it is too much pasta in one go, even if I have my tiny portion size. Whatever you do don't have just pasta and make sure there's sauce with it at least to make it moist.
