Shiritaki Noodles?

One last thing, their consistency is not Pasta like. That's why I sautee them, it loosens them up. They're more rubbery but I don't mind it, I like them.

I buy them from Amazon.com. Haven't tried them yet with the sleeve maybe this weekend

Well, I kept my promise and went out and tried these bad boys.

First off-- let me tell you, I really liked them! I let them drain for a while first, then par boiled them for a couple minutes before stir-frying them in with some cut up chicken and a mixture of soy sauce, agave nectar and a hit of Sriracha (love that heat).

Now, my guess is I may have eaten a tad too quick (wouldn't be the first time), because they did not stay down for very long. I paid the price for that one methinks!

I will wait a little while before I try these again, but the verdict: DELICIOUS.

Glad you liked them truck. I might wait a bit longer (maybe at 4 months or so) before I try them. ( I was sleeved 2/12). By the way congrats on your progress!!

I never could find them . I first saw them on dr oz. show

I usually find them at whole foods and even then it's hard

Usually in refrigerated case, top shelf.

I find them generally by the tofu in the refrigerated section. Good Luck. I have found them in both my local shoprite and stop and shop (not sure where you are in the country) but I know whole foods also sells them.

I have a bunch of the Quest version. (And no, this is not a commercial for Quest products.) They are yummy, nearly calorie free, and nearly carb free. So worth it!

I am glad to hear someone else has a sleeve of Iron. I have not had any trouble but like you said I am having trouble with Water I had thought maybe I was drinking to fast, but I tried just doing little sips and I still have the uncomfortable feeling. guess I will try putting something in it.

I think those noodles should be fine. They aren't the flour-based ones, so I feel like they wouldnt expand in your stomach. Just remeber that they are taking up room in your stomach but have no nutritional value to them... at all!! That's why I used to love them before surgery.

They are soooo NASTY!!!

I'm really happy for those of you that tried these and liked them. I could not stomach them and this was pre-sleeve. I'm pretty sure it was the strong odor of them that grossed me out from the get-go. However, if you can eat them, you should because they would be an easy Pasta substitution. I just prefer to use spaghetti squash. Good luck!

That gross fishy smell comes off after you rinse them. The noodles themselves have zero odor and zero flavor. I usually put them in a pan with the sauce I'm using and let them cook there for about 5 minutes to try and absorb some of the flavor. They have different shapes too like ziti fettuccine and "rice" that looks like those little pearl noodles

I totally rinsed mine and then boiled them and it would not go away. Maybe I just got a bad batch but I can't go back now. Lol

You have to really soak those tofu noodles to help with the smell and taste. They are amazing with shrimp and 1 laughing cow Swiss cheese.
