Tofu noodles?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried eating tofu noodles after gastric sleeve? I'm almost a month out and would love to eat these again after I get into the general diet! I ate the b4 I was sleeved! It quenches my desire for Pasta.

They only have 3carbs, 2 which are Fiber. And 10 calories per serving. Just curious.

And of course I'll ask my NUT, but just wondering if anyone's had them after sleeve.

I would suggest zoodles instead. Easy to make, not processed.

I use a Veggetti to make mine.

I like edamame noodles. Good Protein source, and close in texture to regular Pasta. Two ingredients: edamame and Water.

I love the Zucchini noodles, but I have been wanting to try the edamame noodles... I have heard they are good.

Can you post a link to tofu noodles? Never heard of them. I'm not allowed to have zoodles because I'm supposed to have just Protein not vegetables yet. However, tofu has lots of protein and that would be great.

Thanks! And lol at the Protein amount. Seems like it would be good with chicken though, especially on nights when my husband eats pasta!!

@@amyg80 I eat Shirataki noodles all the time ( I believe they are similar if not the same as tofu noodles?) but I didn't start until I was about 6 months post op. When we have spaghetti or stir fry, they are my go to noodles.

I love spaghetti squash eat it w/spaghetti sauce from time to time.

The Shirataki noodles have to be rinsed a few times and the smell is gone, at least the one I buy. The texture is a bit different but I like it. I pan fry it w/olive oil & have no problems.

I keep saying I have to try zucchini noodles, but haven't yet. Maybe that will be on next week's menu.

I tried the Shirataki noodles and just couldn't do it. Between the smell and texture they just weren't for me. I do like doing the Zucchini noodles.

I just saw these in the refrigerated healthy food section of my local Kroger and wondered about them. Now I think I might have to pick some up next time. I do miss my noodles!

My sister introduced me to them and is she warned me about the smell. My sense of smell is prob off bc I could hardly smell anything. Lol.

I have tried spaghetti squash and I like it but like these way better. I'm going to be trying those zucchini noodles and also cauliflower rice. I've done the cauliflower mash and those are tasty.

Gotta mix it up to keep it interesting.

      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.
