Pasta and rice for me too,only small amounts of bread per week.Havnt thought about chocolate or alcohol.
Do still eat biscuits and crisps so keep a tight rein on them!

Bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, just carbs basically.

My pouch hates bread so much!! I can live without bread. I can tolerate rice in small quantities, not tried pasta and fried foods are a definate no no for me.
I have not dumped (yet) but the above foods get "stuck" just before the pouch opening and either really hurts for an hour til it passes through or (most often) I have to induce vomiting to get it out and stop the pain.
This all may change as I am only 12 weeks post op, I hope not tho as it keeps my diet in check

I decided pre op that my body would have to do without bread, rice or pasta! its doing fine without them - it doesnt need those types of rubbish carbs
Interesting Mazza. Are they all bad carbs , or do brown/wholemeal varieties provide a good source of fibre? I'm hoping to get enough fibre from beans/veg/other pulses but thought small amounts of wholemeal bread and brown rice was a good thing ! What are good carbs-if any?
Oh, I still have so much to learn !
And as to what we can never have again-I guess its fizzy drinks for most of us !!
The OP is a soon to be bander and I am a bander. We are advised (well most are) to avoid bread, rice and pasta. They can stick and swell which is not nice :sigh: we are also advised to eat protein, veg then and only if hungry carbs.
So that would apply to wholemeal or non - some banders can and do manage small portions of them but I decided to give them up!
I really cant advise on a bypassers diet - sorry
I agree with Sam, all things that you can have in moderation. There are other things I have to make up for it and I dont miss out!

im with sam but i stick to the 5gram rule with fats and sugar apart from with nuts and cheese.
ive also maintained now for 2 year so deprivation isnt necessary it really is about moderation and self control.

I had a half a slice of toast with a rasher of grilled back bacon ( all visible fat removed) on Sunday morning and it was very satisfying indeed. I'm wondering now though if I should have skipped the toast and just had the bacon. I am eating my protein first then my veg and finally carb. It's a big change for me as I used to eat my veg ( get it out the way), then the carb ( very nice ,but not the star of the show) and then reward myself with the meat or chicken ! I'm generally avoiding carbs, but as said above don't want to exclude anything entirely as I'll get a real sense of been hard done by if I do-and then cheat ! Don't want to go there again!
True Carol - but some food groups just cant be tolerated by banders, therefore as the title of the thread states, we do indeed learn to live without. Not a big sacrifice in the great scheme of things.
I feel like Im fighting a losing battle here but the 'rules' are slightly different for each op. I am also a maintainer and a bander
