was wondering if anyone has tryed them and what they thought of them im getting ready to order some and wanted some info

forgot to put that they r 0 cal 0 carbs pretty much 0 everything because made out of fiber

I would rather eat dirt!

I tried them a few years ago and I could hardly get past the smell.....just yuck

I had some before and they taste like wet seaweed just plucked from the sea. They taste awful, and I swore to beat whoever made them......lol.

I never heard of them .. one thing i do use though is tofu noodles AKA shirataki, they are very good but they require alot of rinsing and i think a whole package has 40 calories in it.

Not that I condone violence but this made me giggle out loud lol

Hungrygirl.com swears by the shiritaki noodles. They have a recipe which sound promising with Laughing Cow lite cheese. I have read that they smell and need A LOT of rinsing. Haven't been brave enough to try them.

Tracey, Try them .. just rinse them under HOT Water for like 3 mins in a spagetti strainer. ok the texture is a little wierd too but it tricks your mind into thinking your eating noodles =D

I've had them before and have to agree that they reek of fish. I was so grossed out by the smell that I tossed them.

I am really curious and am waiting for a bandster to try them. Wont be me though because I am afraid after the issue I had with greenbeans. Fibrous food can be difficult for some banded people.

I was just banded so haven't tried them with a band yet but used to eat them often. They are only 40 calories and pretty good with laughing cow cheese or even in soups. You have to rinse, rinse, and then rinse some more. I also cut them up because they are so long...will be curious to know if I can still eat them as I heard pasta was a big no no.

These noodle things sound just awful... My Dr. said I could eat anything I wanted and what my tummy could tolerate... Even Pasta, potatoes and rice as long as I keep it to small servings. A complete meal for me is about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of food total. If I eat more than that, I am very uncomfortable for the next 4 or 5 hours. His biggest thing is portion control..

When I have those food groups they should be much smaller than the Protein and veggie of the meal... Usually about one or two tablespoon scoops at the most. This way, I don't feel deprived... Considering a serving used to be probably more than a cup just for the Rice, pasta or potato plus all the other food like meat veggie and dessert piled onto my plate... I will add though that I have switched to the whole wheat pasta instead of enriched white flour kind... I guess each person, and Dr. will have different thoughts on these things... But I'm not gonna start eating gross food alternatives or substitutes... ... I'd rather go without altogether... I don't like yucky stuff in my mouth...

I probably have to agree with you Jennifer- if I am able to tolerate pasta why eat a bite or two of calorieless noodles? I would probably want to eat a small amount of the real thing...only time will tell though :thumbup:

I haven't tried them since I've been banded but I used to eat the shirataki noodles and the miracle noodles all the time. Just drain them and heat them in a pan for a few minutes. They are really good with some tomato sauce and a sprinkle of parmesean cheese....and of course, all of the hungry girl recipes.

If you want to try the miracle noodles for the first time you don't have to buy a bulk of them from miraclenoodles.com, just go into any oriental food market and look for the 0 calorie noodles, they are the same thing.
