I've had no issue eating noodles since I got to the solid food stage, which was two months post op for me. I know other programs progress quicker but mine was slow. I just wouldn't recommend making noodles part of your regular diet because they are high in simple carbs.

Check with your dietician. My instructions were to add plant based whole wheat carbs after 75% of my weight loss. I eat whole wheat spaghetti and Lasagna noodles.

If you mean when are you physically capable of eating noodles? Probably sometime in the soft food stage. If you mean when you should nutritionally eat noodles? Probably never. You should be putting protein first, which means not wasting room on filler carbs like pasta, rice, bread, etc.

Funny but true!

I'm 8 mos out and never eat pasta. I could eat 2 bites or like 1 ravioli. It never sits well. I think I eat too much too fast and it's the closest I've been to throwing up. Not worth it.

I do eat Pasta -- but I've been in maintenance for a year.

It certainly wasn't a "food group" while I was losing weight though.

I'm only 6 weeks post op and was told by my number no carbs till 3 months post op (at minimum). I would even suggest try making zoodles (zucchini noodles)! I have a zoodle maker and any time my husband has noodles I made my own.

I am almost 5yrs out and still can not eat rice or Pasta.

I am one of the lucky "sleeve dumpers". I say lucky because dumping keeps me honest and true to my sleeve which is still working for/with me.

I can eat "miracle noodles". They have no calories,no carbs, no nothing. They are available in most pasta shapes as well as rice.

Why not give them a try?
