Craving spaghetti really bad. What's a good Pasta sub besides the obvious spaghetti squash???

I tried Quest noodles--it doesn't taste like anything but the texture scared the living shit out of me.

What do you guys use instead??

There was a recipe I found of sweet Maui onions to substitute the noodles. I haven't tried it yet since I'm only going into my puree phase on Monday. IMG_1603.JPG

You're welcome. I found this blog the other night. The woman is Italian so she has a lot of good Italian recipes & other food. She had WLS too. Just click search and type Pasta.< br>

@mbuczkowski ooo i've been dying to try miracle noodles. How do they taste? Does it actually taste like Pasta?

Have you ever tried Shirataki? I think it's made from mushrooms. I just need to find something tasty.



I just bought them but haven't tried them yet.

I was also able to get smartcake (38cal, 9 carb, 4g protein) to try.

Hope you find something pleasing. I don't like Pasta so I'm in the clear. But, I've been looking for ways to change my kid's love of pasta and hoping they might not notice. 😕

I just steam them in a ziploc steam bag after and then eat them like they're spaghetti. Very tasty IMO! :)

      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.
