Depends on what your surgeon advised. Some have patients eating regular food 2 weeks out, others make you wait 4-6 weeks.

Done Did It!

Rice Beans & chicken

Beans and chicken are fine. Just take it easy. I'm not allowed rice for 9 months. You should prob just be sticking to 90-95% Protein at this stage

So if your NUT said no rice; you are eating rice. At this point I guess you will decide what you want to do. Are you looking for validation here to say it is okay to eat rice?

I think you should listen to the professionals, of which we are not.

Good Luck

i "think" Amazon meant to nicely say you should listen to what your NUT says, then you won't have any reason to question if you are going on the right path - but its always nice to receive a good luck encouragement, so i'm glad you received that :)

its true none of are professionals, we're just normal, wonderful sleevers like you :)

we give support and advice ,general conversation and good info too, and importantly we are here to support all - especially you Newbies - come on, come on - you know who you are!!!! :)

when there is something more medical/technical involved, we suggest you see your doc/or NUT :)

talk to your NUT about more suggestions to eat - at the beginning, and later too, it can be hard to get a good variety of food in

but, i know you can conquer all- you ARE on that right path - no wrong turns allowed :lol:

watch those road signs :lol: :lol:

eating small portions, exercising, losing 27 lbs Kudos!!!

talking to your NUT is always a good idea for info/reinforcement

good luck :)

IMO, yes, you are headed down the wrong path. Remember the first few months are when you have the most rapid weight loss.

I personally am 8months out & I still do not eat rice, bread, Pasta, potato, or fried foods. White carbs like these are immediatly turned into sugar, not to mention they trigger cravings for more of the like.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
