When is it a good time to eat noodle



Recommended Posts

I've had no issue eating noodles since I got to the solid food stage, which was two months post op for me. I know other programs progress quicker but mine was slow. I just wouldn't recommend making noodles part of your regular diet because they are high in simple carbs.

Check with your dietician. My instructions were to add plant based whole wheat carbs after 75% of my weight loss. I eat whole wheat spaghetti and Lasagna noodles.

If you mean when are you physically capable of eating noodles? Probably sometime in the soft food stage. If you mean when you should nutritionally eat noodles? Probably never. You should be putting Protein first, which means not wasting room on filler carbs like Pasta, rice, bread, etc.

As soon as you want to start gaining weight.

Funny but true! :)

I'm 8 mos out and never eat Pasta. I could eat 2 bites or like 1 ravioli. It never sits well. I think I eat too much too fast and it's the closest I've been to throwing up. Not worth it.

I do eat Pasta -- but I've been in maintenance for a year.

It certainly wasn't a "food group" while I was losing weight though.

I'm only 6 weeks post op and was told by my number no carbs till 3 months post op (at minimum). I would even suggest try making zoodles (zucchini noodles)! I have a zoodle maker and any time my husband has noodles I made my own.

I am almost 5yrs out and still can not eat rice or Pasta.

I am one of the lucky "sleeve dumpers". I say lucky because dumping keeps me honest and true to my sleeve which is still working for/with me.

I can eat "miracle noodles". They have no calories,no carbs, no nothing. They are available in most Pasta shapes as well as rice.

Why not give them a try?

      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.
