For anyone craving pasta or looking for something good to eat alongside protein, try Tofu Shirataki. I buy the angel hair variety from Whole Foods - 20 calories and 3 carbs for an entire package, which is one serving ( I eat about 1/4 usually). Tastes like the real thing, especially with some marinara sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese!

Thanks! Gonna try this.

I also suggest edamame pasta. High in protein...

Amazingly, being Italian, I do not want or crave pasta products. I'll take it as a gift. I've eaten my share of pasta in my previous life... It was cheap and I was kinda poor. It worked to fill me up...to the tune of 249 lbs!

I am thankful to not have issues with my band For almost 9 years.. It scares me a bit when I read of all the complications here. I read in studies 1/2 the banders no longer have their band after 10 years. I am hopeful by keeping it a bit under inflated and not challenging it that I can go on with my healthy life????
