When is it a good time to eat noodle



Recommended Posts

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.

As soon as you want to start gaining weight.

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?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
