I have not tried nor heard of this stuff but I just went on the website and I think it's worth giving those noodles a try! Thanks for the post.

I've tried it several times. I can get it at my local grocery store. Each time I buy it and get excited. Open the bag. Rinse, smell it, dump in the trash. Regardless of how long I rinse it etc, it still has a terrible fishy disgusting smell. I'm not generally a picky eater but this stuff really is strong.

We're all different so you may like it. I haven't tried it post-op.

I'm with Lee on this on this one. I couldn't tolerate the smell. I did manage one time to make them, and the texture was deplorable.

I stick with Dreamfields Pasta for the majority of my Pasta meals.

Yuck, I think I'll pass and go on the advise of those of you who've tried it!! I figure there must be something weird about a food substance with 0 calorie/nutritional value...but was a little curious thinking that it would taste like udon noodles or something like that.

Try spaghetti squash for a Pasta substitute as well. (There's a yummy mac-n-cheese recipe for spaghetti squash on the food forum here)

My husband and son tolerate it, they don't love it, but they'll eat it if I mix in some dreamfield noodles with it.

I swear the Dreamfields pastas are really yummy, low carb.

Spaghetti Squash is a really nice alternative as well. I eat regular Pasta a few times a week. I know it's tough when you're watching carbs, but 1/4 cup of Pasta isn't going to stall out your weight loss. Have a little and make up for the Protein later on.

Can you get this Dreamfield's Pasta at most grocery stores or do you have to buy it online or a specialty store?

Our local Publix and Winn Dixie carry Dreamfield as does our commissary. But, our Wal-Mart Supercenter does not carry it which is so ridiculous because they carry 500 other varieties of pastas.

Hey as I was looking at the dreamfields pastas online I came across the following site

Low Carb food, sugar free Chocolates, sugar free candy, and more - LowCarb-R-Us

it has loads of low carb options, not sure of how delightful any of them are but thought you may wanna give it a look.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
