Ummm they look good, I might order some, if they will ship over here. I LOVED pasta, but now i just put sauce on grilled chicken.

I just read the nutrition facts, and theres nothing in them....

That's what's so weird (and somewhat scary) about them. Is anything with absolutely 0 everything gonna be ok to put in your body? But I think it's organic and natural. I don't think it's a whole bunch of chemicals.

Well I like the sound of these noodles... I'm wondering about something though... Most of the stuff I like on noodles... or rice... they had miracle rice too... but anyway... its rich fattening sauces.... so what do you think you'll eat with the noodles... they are pretty expensive too I noticed.. Like $40 dollars for 7 packs of noodles... and the packs are like 1-2 serving size I think... wow... but none the less I might try them... I think I'd like green beans and miracle rice maybe??? What do you think you'd eat on them? Also as caru said they don't have much food value... and that's important from what I understand our food intake is so limited we really have to have a lot of protein... Ideas? Thoughts? Please.

I'm afraid to try stuff like this. Pasta was something I ate in such large quantities, I don't want to set off that trigger.

Oh.... Dr Oz had them on his show he said they taste pretty good, but I dunno lately I feel like he is one infomercial after another... they do sell these in stores not this brand but it is in the Asian section, when I get further out I am going to try them. They are made with glucomannan fiber, supposedly to be one of the most soluble fibers fills you up etc etc does all kind of good things...

I am not having my surgery until July 16th but am a planner. I saw a brand of these noodles on QVC over the weekend. They were called NoOodles. They take on the taste of what you cook them in the saice or veggies. They can be used like you would make a meal with rice or noodles. They sound like a good alternative.

I bought these noodles at Wegmans in NY $2.49. They were called shiriraki noodles. I personally did not care for them. The texture was like biting a malnourished worm. BLECH! They didn't have any flavor, just texture. I have a big issues with textures. Sorry to sound negative about it. It may be just me. So look in the natural foods secrion of your grocery store to be able to try them at a smaller price tag.

This is a comparable product, its called Tofu Shirataki, Hungry Girls loves them. They are basically yam starch.

I thought they tasted like squid flavored rubber bands, but lots of people swear by them.

I would look for these in your regular supermarket or health food store first rather than dropping $40 for a case of them that you might not like.

u can also take and use butternut squash to make spegehetti noodle with google not hard and tasty and healthy

DON'T FORGET....After you reach goal or close to it. Adding a tiny amount of pasta, especially the right kind, can be good for you. Eventually when we reach maintenance, it is important to involve all food groups. White, empty foods are out. However, Barilla dried pasta (comes in all varieties and shapes and grocery stores) has about 7g of protein in each serving. I have used their shells to stuff veggie crumbles (protein) and cheese into them and they're great. It is also high in fiber. It's just like Brown Rice and Quinoa. There are positive alternatives to white rice and that also add protein.

I have tried these noodles (a brand I found in Whole Foods) but also did not like them; they were very slimy

I think they are a great option before surgery when you are eating larger quantities of food, and a zero calorie noodle is better than a regular noodle, but after surgery with the restricted size of your pouch you have to put mostly protein in there and there isn't room for anything that doesn't have good nutritional value


pasta is a gateway drug for me, too, so I just avoid it now

Tbnote71 thanks for the info, I am in NY too and LOVE Wegman's I will have to get them and try them out before my surgery.Maybe as a nice stir fry with soy sauce.

I've seen these on the Hungry Girl email alerts I get but haven't bought them. I have read reviews that they are slimy and tough and smell funny. I guess after reading those I couldn't bring myself to try them. I have a thing about certain food textures and not being able to eat them and thought it would be one of those things I wouldn't be able to tolerate eating! Weird I know! LOL!
