I have tried the lentil and zucchini Pasta. It's OK. Pretty high in carbs so not an every day sort of thing. One bag is good for about 6 servings for me. I used some grated Parmesan on it.

I would say yes. But I can handle a small quantity only, so you don't get the sedative effect of a big bowl of noodles!

My girlfriend who is a pasta-holic says that the only thing that actually works for her, "fools" her Pasta love is spaghetti squash. There's about 7grams of carbs in a cup. Be careful with the lentil stuff. I once purchased lentil crackers and just a few gave me such painful gas, I couldn't leave the house!! [emoji15] I imagine that kind of gas with our pouches could be horrible!

I got a veggi spiralizer and make zucchini noodles- sauté it in olive oil garlic and onion powder put spaghetti sauce on it and love it! Got the recipes on Pinterest too.

I made a baked ziti using the Birdseye zucchini and lentil noodles with ground turkey, homemade Pasta Sauce and some cheese. My husband is a picky eater and he really liked the meal. I have also used riced cauliflower to make "fried rice" which my family also liked. I have also found a really good cauliflower Pizza Crust from a company called Califlour. My husband and son were super skeptical because I have tried making them myself and were horrible failures. They really liked this crust and said they had no idea it was cauliflower.

I was wondering has anyone tried Pasta and rice substitutes? I see birds eye makes zucchini and lentil pasta it's pasta made out of veggies don't know if anyone has anything else they tried or if they tried that. Looking for options in the future.


I really just omit the carbs and substitute an extra veggie.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
