Tofu noodles?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried eating tofu noodles after gastric sleeve? I'm almost a month out and would love to eat these again after I get into the general diet! I ate the b4 I was sleeved! It quenches my desire for Pasta.

They only have 3carbs, 2 which are Fiber. And 10 calories per serving. Just curious.

And of course I'll ask my NUT, but just wondering if anyone's had them after sleeve.

I would suggest zoodles instead. Easy to make, not processed.

I use a Veggetti to make mine.

I like edamame noodles. Good Protein source, and close in texture to regular Pasta. Two ingredients: edamame and Water.

I love the Zucchini noodles, but I have been wanting to try the edamame noodles... I have heard they are good.

Can you post a link to tofu noodles? Never heard of them. I'm not allowed to have zoodles because I'm supposed to have just Protein not vegetables yet. However, tofu has lots of protein and that would be great.

Thanks! And lol at the Protein amount. Seems like it would be good with chicken though, especially on nights when my husband eats pasta!!

@@amyg80 I eat Shirataki noodles all the time ( I believe they are similar if not the same as tofu noodles?) but I didn't start until I was about 6 months post op. When we have spaghetti or stir fry, they are my go to noodles.

I love spaghetti squash eat it w/spaghetti sauce from time to time.

The Shirataki noodles have to be rinsed a few times and the smell is gone, at least the one I buy. The texture is a bit different but I like it. I pan fry it w/olive oil & have no problems.

I keep saying I have to try zucchini noodles, but haven't yet. Maybe that will be on next week's menu.

I tried the Shirataki noodles and just couldn't do it. Between the smell and texture they just weren't for me. I do like doing the Zucchini noodles.

I just saw these in the refrigerated healthy food section of my local Kroger and wondered about them. Now I think I might have to pick some up next time. I do miss my noodles!

My sister introduced me to them and is she warned me about the smell. My sense of smell is prob off bc I could hardly smell anything. Lol.

I have tried spaghetti squash and I like it but like these way better. I'm going to be trying those zucchini noodles and also cauliflower rice. I've done the cauliflower mash and those are tasty.

Gotta mix it up to keep it interesting.

      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.

      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!!
