It depends on your program. My NUT allows small amounts of Pasta once we are past the mushy phase and onto soft solids. She actually prefers some carbs because it's good for brain fat

I think you will sabotage your weight loss efforts. You should be focusing on Proteins and non-starchy vegetables Noodles are all carbs. I can't have any refined carbs on my plan. I guess if your plan says it's ok, then go for it; However, be prepared for it to slow down your weight loss.

miracle noodles, zucchini noodles (zoodles), or edamame noodles are good substitutes, just cook until very soft.

I have accepted that I will most likely never have Pasta again in my life. No food is worth going back to 400 pounds, and I'll be damned if I let myself go there again.

Food is just fuel, and pasta will slow (or halt) weight loss, take up valuable real estate, and give relatively little in exchange for all of that.

Good luck!

Your life doesn't stop that's where alot of people are misunderstanding the surgery, you change your lifestyle of eat and they didn't say give up eating yes you're going to have to eat things and proportions and yes you might not have Pasta as much as you want. But if you doing everything that you're supposed to be doing by eating everything in proportion three meals a day Snacks in between and you technically do not need the Snacks, and you work out how you're supposed to be working out you will see the progress but still enjoying life and food

yayyy

Try miracle noodles. They are plant based and take the place of Pasta and rice!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
