Well I am 12 weeks out and I have been so hungry for spaghetti. I tried Shirataki Noodles and they are good. They actually don't have a taste but they took on the taste of the marinara sauce. No carbs, that was my goal... Has anyone else tried them?

Did you try the spaghetti, fettuccine or angle hair style? I tried the fettuccine style noodles and the texture just gave me such a huzz I couldn't swallow them. They were too slick and chewy!!!!! :(

They are good, but it's best to rinse them first before using. I like them.

Yes I did rinse them and I used the spaghetti, that was the only kind I could find.

@@clasnic1, thanks for this post. Just last week I was trying to remember the name of these noodles, you've helped me out, thank you!

Haven't tried them yet but it will be on my list of things to try in the near future

I love them! I rinse them really good first though, they stink like fresh mushrooms. I just open the package, pour them in a colander to rinse them and heat them up in a pan of Water on the stove.

I've tried them and they are OK. Kind of slimy and tough. I really prefer spaghetti squash instead. For me it's a much nicer texture and actually good for you.

They sell them in Asian markets around here.

Wal Mart actually carries them. They're in the produce section, refrigerated, near the egg roll wrappers.

That is exactly where I got them from Walmart near the tofu section. I rinsed them and then put them in hot Water for about 5 minutes. I thought they were very good. I am getting my nerve up to trying spaghetti squash but I am not a squash eater.

I like spaghetti squash as well. I think Shirataki noodles makes a great substitute for ramen noodles without all the sodium. Just add a good low sodium broth or miso plus veg and Protein of choice.

Yum yum. I had them pre surgery. My cousin is from Japan and introduced me to them! She made a post and they looked so yummy I had to try 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.

      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.
