I'd been eyeing this product since Facebook and Instagram started sending me ads. It's low carb Keto ramen with 6g carbs, 21g Protein and 890 mg sodium and 18g Fiber. I found they sell them individually at Whole Foods (because I am NOT buying a $35 pack knowing there's a huge risk me and my stomach don't like it for some reason). Planning to run out to buy a pack or two tonight just out of curiosity and eat half a pack or maybe a fourth just for a taste (and also because it's 300 calories for an entire pack)

But before I do, I'm wondering if anyone has tried Immi ramen and if so how did you like it? Did it have a weird aftertaste like a lot of protein infused products (it all tastes like whey to me)? Since my surgery I've been really weird about textures now and I've seen a couple reviews complaining about texture of the noodles but I want to try this since it has a nice amount of protein and fiber and I have to do a bit of doctoring to Shirataki noodles, moreso than what I feel like being bothered with some days lol

I'd be interested in hearing how you like it. I've never heard of it before. I have hated all of the "alternative" pastas so far. Shirataki, heart of palm, zoodles, etc... No thanks.

The broth is really good, but I did not like the noodles or the texture. Take my review with a grain of salt though, I don't like ANY of the alternative pastas either (Chickpea, cauliflower etc..)

I didn’t like the texture either. But one interesting thing is that it has no issues being reheated like some other ramen when eaten without the broth (which is how I liked eating instant - boiled, drained and with a bit of flavor packet). I added additional sauce to mask the texture though. Feels grainy, like the texture of grits or sand or something.

The store I went to only had two of the three flavors available. I only tried the garlic chicken and I tasted more garlic than chicken. The garlic overpowered everything until I added the sauce that was being used to mask the texture 🤣

Shrimp is tonight so we’ll see how that goes!

I watch the Keto Twins on U Tube and they did a video using the noodles. They always give their honest opinion of the things they try. Here's a link to one of their videos :

I wholeheartedly agree, the Pasta substitutes are horrible! I always detest having my 100 lb nutritionist suggest some healthy alternative as " sooo tasty" because so far all the pasta substitutes are inedible to me!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
