Anybody here eat bean pasta? If yes, how soon after surgery did you try it?  I have some in the pantry that I ate before surgery and would like to have some with a high protein sauce. TIA

Is that the shiratake stuff?  What's the nutritional information on it?

Nope. The kind I have is made from green lentil and quinoa. A 2oz serving has 14 grams of protein, 35 grams carbs,  7 grams fiber. I'll probably only cook a 1oz portion with some faux meat sauce. I ate a ton of the shiratake pasta pre surgery but I know it has no nutritional value and don't want to fill my sleeve that way. I'm not doing low carb (being vegan) though I'm eating as high protein as I can (usually between 75-90grams a day) and my carbs are usually less than 75 and often less than 50. Beans have been my main source of carbs.

I'm not vegan but I do enjoy my TVP.  I make chili with it, cooking it with almond milk for a warm cereal and use it as a crunch topping on yogurt.   I've considered the bean pasta but the protein to calorie to carbs was all wrong for my macros.

How many calories?  My rule of thumb is "must have at least 1 gram of protein per 10 calories."
