Alternative Pasta



Recommended Posts

I know that pastas are not recommended because of empty carbs and that they can be difficult to pass through your pouch. What about chickpea and lentil Pasta. Is it the same for these too? Also, I see this site sells shiritaki noodles. Can we eat those?

I didn't love the shirtaki noodles, but I am a fan of the veggiemade noodles by steamfresh. Also my younger brother likes them so I can trick him into eating what I make. lol

I love the Shirataki noodles/rice. :) The bean pastas make me hungry and my blood sugar spikes too much.

I spiral all different kinds of veggies and love them both as salad raw, and cooked with sauces!

I really like shiritaki noodles. I eat miracle noodles. Can we eat those noodles with the pouch?

At 14 months, I do. I only eat 1 serving--not a whole bag though. And I follow the rules: Protein first, veggies second, and if room, then the noodles. I chew them up super well though!

I really like the lentil or chick pea based Pasta. I only eat a small amount and have it with chicken or chicken sausage for Protein. It takes care of my pasta cravings and makes me feel not deprived.

I love this one. Tons of Protein, spaghetti form is way better than Fettuccini, and straight-up edamame works for me.

Just toss it in a little sauce/pesto right out of the pot so it doesn’t clump, then eat with a dense sauce. You kind of have to 50/50 it, or even more sauce than noodles. But it’s filling and definitely hits my Pasta spot.

I haven't tried the edamame one yet, but definitely will! The two I've had that are good and easy to find around me are Banza (chick peas) and Free to Eat (i've had the red lentil one, but it comes in many varieties).

I will always recommend 'zoodles'. The texture is a bit different, but taste wise it's the same as regular spaghetti. :)

Aldi is now carrying an edamame Pasta. It looks like it might be a private label of the Explore brand @sideeye recommends.

It’s crazy cheap ($2.89 for 7 oz) and isn’t an “ Aldi Find” which means its an everyday item

I just eat Pasta, but not very much - and always with Protein.

I find that eating pasta deals with my pasta cravings very well. 😉

My favorite is Cali’flour Foods Califlower and Yellow Lentil Pasta. Bought it on Amazon. It only comes in a penne but the taste and texture is most like real pasta.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
