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

Oh no! I just read this. That stinks.

I haven't heard of the black bean pasta! That sounds good, I love black beans!

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 :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
