Has anyone tried this brand of Pasta? It is supposedly 'lower carb' with only 13g digestible carbs and has a low glycemic index. I just want to know about the taste. Does it taste regular???

If is delicious. I ate it for years prior to surgery. Now, I do not eat Pasta, but really enjoyed it in my pre-sleeve life.

we love it!

My husband is diabetic so we've used it for years.

I love Pasta and allow myself some occasionally. I am 2 months out and always make sure I eat my Protein first! My nut said it's fine! :)

I've never heard of it. Berilla makes a Pasta with Protein in it but I'm not sure the carb content. Another option is black bean pasta. FULL of protein, and lower carb. If you can get past the weird look. They kinda look like worms...but taste wonderful!

Lol! I'm sorry, I saw your title and laughed because I thought you were having dreams of eating in a field of pasta! I have to wait a few more months before I can have Pasta so I was relating!

Anyhow, is this Pasta supposed to be better for you somehow? Just curious.

yes, it has what they call protected carbs. It only has 5g of digestible carbs per serving.

It says it has 41g total carbs

-5g Fiber

-31g protected carbs

=5g digestible carbs

Looks like we can get the black bean Pasta at whole foods. I don't do much at whole foods but will go for specific things.

I love the black bean Pasta. The Protein content is great. They're black noddles, a dark grey when cooked, but as a pasta lover, I almost danced in the store when I saw them :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
