I have a Hungry Girl cookbook and saw that they use these noodles quite often in recipes. I have a recipe that I'm going to try this week, but was just wondering what people thought of these "noodles". I haven't ever tried pasta since being banded, and since these were made from Tofu, I fugured I'd be safe. Has anyone tried them? Like them? Dislike them? Thanks!:biggrin:

I have not had these since I've been banded. I tried them a couple of years ago. They were hard to find. They're in with the refrigerated Asian foods. Anyway, you have to rinse them really well or there can be a fishy smell. They're precooked, so you just need to heat them up. They have a slippery texture, like overcooked Pasta. Seems like they'd be easier to eat than regular pasta. Personally, they didn't agree with my digestive system, so I only had them twice before giving up. I know other people, especially Weight Watchers, have sworn by them, but I don't know of anyone who has been banded who's had them. Perhaps someone else who's had them after banding can chime in.

Good luck!

I havent been banded yet (10.22.09) yay! but i used to eat them all the time! The key is rinse rinse rinse! AND DONT SMELL THEM! They smell really gross, but they taste great. I cut them up because their really long, but I liked them a lot.

Thanks for the replies. I just tried them the night after I made this post. I really liked them alot and didn't have any problems with them and my band. I did rinse them well and boil them for a few minutes to get the excess out. They were quite good!

I agree with everyone, rinse them under cold water as much as you can! They're OK, but personally I didn't find them very filling or appetizing after a few times.
