It depends on your program. My NUT allows small amounts of Pasta once we are past the mushy phase and onto soft solids. She actually prefers some carbs because it's good for brain fat

I think you will sabotage your weight loss efforts. You should be focusing on Proteins and non-starchy vegetables Noodles are all carbs. I can't have any refined carbs on my plan. I guess if your plan says it's ok, then go for it; However, be prepared for it to slow down your weight loss.

miracle noodles, zucchini noodles (zoodles), or edamame noodles are good substitutes, just cook until very soft.

I have accepted that I will most likely never have Pasta again in my life. No food is worth going back to 400 pounds, and I'll be damned if I let myself go there again.

Food is just fuel, and pasta will slow (or halt) weight loss, take up valuable real estate, and give relatively little in exchange for all of that.

Good luck!

Your life doesn't stop that's where alot of people are misunderstanding the surgery, you change your lifestyle of eat and they didn't say give up eating yes you're going to have to eat things and proportions and yes you might not have Pasta as much as you want. But if you doing everything that you're supposed to be doing by eating everything in proportion three meals a day Snacks in between and you technically do not need the Snacks, and you work out how you're supposed to be working out you will see the progress but still enjoying life and food

yayyy

Try miracle noodles. They are plant based and take the place of Pasta and rice!

      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.
