A question for the VETS
The question I have, should I be waiting on this stuff until I am further out near maintenance? I have a funny feeling inside of me that I shouldn't be worrying about them just yet. I was just planning on putting the lavash bread into the freezer for winter time like another 3 months (even though it is cold enough out there tonight to feel like winter) or so.
As for the shirataki noodles, I find them utterly repulsive. I know others love them, and have zero issues with the texture, smell. I simply can not get over the texture thing with those things. I chose to eat spaghetti squash instead of pasta and enjoyed it.
Trust your gut feeling on these, and just wait. Chunk that money into good quality meats, cheeses, and tons of greek yogurt!

So I put down the refined white carbs, especially those made with flour, and it was fairly smooth sailing from there. I landed under goal at 11 months, about 106 lbs. lost all-in. These days, in maintenance, I do occasionally eat something on lavash bread, or a half-sandwich on whole wheat bread. Ocasionally I say.... So far I've maintained my weight for three months - longer than I was able to maintain after losing weight any other time in my life.
Your mileage may vary. This is just what I discovered works for me.
Hi Jackie!..
The carbs isn't what feared me that early out!...You're not going to have the space for it...Maybe one or two bites..It would be a waste of money for you...Unless I lived next door LOL...I'd wait till further out... I was over two years before doing noodles, and don't care for regular ones now. Love the shirataki noodles. Lavash bread is a must try!!...My next order...Just my two cents worth..

I didn't start adding carbs into my diet until 2 months ago and I'm 7 months post op. I was told by my nutritionist 4 weeks after surgery that I could eat whatever I wanted as long as kept my carbs to a minimum and I was allowed bread, pasta and rice. I chose not to eat carbs except for what was included in fruit and in my protein shakes, and I was doing okay until about 2 months ago when I realized I was eating too many calories in proteins and not losing weight. I wasn't gaining, but the scale was stuck for 6 weeks. I decided to join Weigh****chers 2 months ago and now eat a fairly normal diet. I still eat 60-70 grams of protein first before I eat anything else and I eat whole grains, and sometimes I will eat some potato and rice but not very often. I still do not consume sugar. Surprisingly I'm doing fantastic!! The only difference is I am able to keep track much better than before.
Before you start going onto solid foods, take little bites and a wait and see approach. I've never had any problems with food, but some people do. Good luck!
