Protein Noodles
Shirataki noodles are good on protein and very low in calories/carbs BUT are, IMO, disgusting. You have to rinse them really well and add some kick-butt flavor to cover up the icky fish smell/taste. If I was gonna think of pasta, Barilla plus may be a more palatable option if you add some sort of protein (meat, chicken, cheese) to make it worth your chewing.

Katie -
Just saw your post and if you don't mind me asking, why can't you eat more that yogart and applesauce? I ask b/c i had RNY on 4/6 and I couldn't progress in the soft food dept either - FINALLY had an endoscopy done this past wednesday and it showed that I had a pretty nasty stricture. I gues the opening to our pouch should be around 15mm and mine was only 3mm. I was dalited to 12mm and will probably have to go back again, but now it is continue on liquids try a little soft ultra slow - good for the weight loss, but frustrating none the less, just wanted you to know you weren't alone.

I had a similar problem. I had a stricture pretty early out and it's been dilated four times. I can eat soft food if I really want but it makes my pouch grouchy so I am going really slow. Anytime I have something that is more ambitious than cheese I have issues. I guess it is just taking longer for me. It is nice to know that there are others who are going through something similar.
