LOL, unless you're on the pre-op liquid diet, or post op lower stages or are on full liquids...

catwoman7 11,221 Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) I agree with the poster who suggested spiralized vegetables. Spiralize some zucchini (or buy some already spiralized) and saute it until it's al dente. Then eat it just like you would noodles. OR just eat the meat and the sauce in a bowl.

AngieBear 2,524 Posted August 7, 2019 I LOVE spiralized zucchini. It cooks up fast, is delicious, and functions the same as “real” Pasta. 3 1 melvan71, FluffyChix, GreenTealael and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S@ssen@ch 745 Posted August 7, 2019 Had spaghetti squash. Meh. It works, but to me there was something "off" about having it with my spaghetti sauce. Spiralized zucchini...Much better! Now, I'm really curious about the Shirataki Noodles. @ms.sss Have you tried them? How are they? Taste? Texture? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I eat them quite often. They have the consistency of al dente-like rice noodles. They are pretty tasteless on their own, they take on a bit of the flavour of whatever you add to them. I've eaten them with sauces on top, in Soups, part of salads, etc. They are VERY filling. 4 GreenTealael, S@ssen@ch, FluffyChix and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tracyringo 503 Posted August 8, 2019 Now that I am in maintenance I do have spaghetti on occasion. Spaghetti squash is a great alternative if you are in weight loss phase. 2 1 FluffyChix, melvan71 and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cjdave 37 Posted August 8, 2019 The Shirataki noodles always cramped up my stomach, that was before sleeve..but they had a nice texture...I'm no where near trying them post sleeve (16 days out) 1 1 FluffyChix and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FluffyChix 17,418 Posted August 8, 2019 Oh I heart all of these subs. Truly don't miss Pasta anymore because of them. I also love any veggie in spirals: broccoli cauliflower kohlrabi turnip daikon rutabaga all the squashes beets carrots english cucumber I feel like Bubba Gump! On love Shirataki noodles and shirataki rice (especially the rice when mixed with caulirice). 2 Tracyringo and Chiptress reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cjdave 37 Posted August 8, 2019 Do you spiral them yourself? If so what's good to use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
