Hi my name is Rosalind and I had surgery on February 11, 2013 after three appeals. I am still having pain which is really bad when moving on my left side of my abdominal . I am on full liquids which I couldn't wait for cream Soups, I can't take them anymore so I have been having egg drop Soup it's easy on my stomach until Monday I will be on purée . I am hoping to get some ideas as to a menus from you guys. Hope someone reads this lol. And what about rice ? When I reach solids can I have a small teaspoon of rice? Don't want to be to long winded . Glad to join the forum

Welcome to the sleeve side. And congratulation on your surgery. To find good recipes for the puree and soft food faze go to eggface.com she has amazing recipes. As for rice you need to wait till solid food. Your really not subpose to eat it because of the carbs. Im sure when your futher out you can have it. Good luck, any questions please feel free to ask thats what we are here for :-)

I know that some people don't do well w rice at all just make sure it's very cooked and moist

I use to eat a lot of rice and bread. I can only have maybe a tablespoon of rice if I am lucky. It just doesn't sit well. It's heavy and makes me feel nasty.

The only benefit is: I don't crave it either

Welcome!

I am glad you found egg drop Soup. That was a favorite of mine in early stages. Rice is iffy as previously stated at least until solid stage. Experiment with just a lttle then to be safe.
