Looks like that would be good. The other day I found a recipe for a doughless pizza, they used cauliflower to make the crust. Oh my I can't wait to try it!!!!

Hummmm. Looks interesting. I've never seen it before can you buy online?

No idea! I got it in a local grocery store, who knew we in the middle east had such choices.

I had for dinner last night. If you drain and rinse them thoroughly and mix with spices and stir fry with soy sauce and meat or veggies they will take on the flavors you mix them with. They are pure tofu and for someone who loves Pasta they are an adaquate replacement at 20 calories a serving. They are very filling but don't think of them as pasta but clearly a substitute. They sell them in places like Whole Foods and Trader Joes. I've never been huge on pasta so they were satisfying to me mixed with broccoli, cabbage, mushrooms and soy sauce. Sometimes I save the seasoning packets from top ramen when my family leaves them and mix with an egg.

It's really essential to rinse Japanese Shirataki VERY well...otherwise they do taste funky. They are actually made from a type of yam, and are not soy-based...

ooops, take that back, some varieties do have some soy, but they are mostly a low carb starch from an Asian tuber

You might try miracle noodles or rice. The rice is made with glucommanan which is a supplement my Dr. gave me a few years ago for appetite control. glucommanan is a Fiber so they are fat free, calorie free etc..

www.miraclenoodle.com (website says the noodles are made with Shirataki but my co-workers says they are good and not smelly like the tofu shirataki you have pictured. I did not like those either and I rinsed the hell out of them)

I did try the regular Shirataki noodles. Not the ones with tofu. You are so correct. Rinse the heck out of them. I rinsed, boiled, rinsed again and sautéed them with some soy sauce, ginger and garlic. They were pretty good! The remind me of cellophane noodles. zero calories and zero carbs! Awesome!

      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.
