Rice Rice Baby...



Recommended Posts

I really like to make stir fry. I prefer mine over brown rice. Carbs notwithstanding, will rice be sleeve safe eventually?

Some people say they can't tolerate it after the sleeve... I've personally have not had a problem with it (brown rice) I did not try it until after the 3 month mark and never had more than a couple of spoons of it, but no problems.

I eat rice 2-3times a with my post workout meal. Not much though, maybe a 1/4-1/2 cup. I can't eat fish without it being mixed up with a little rice.

Someone mentioned making faux rice out of cauliflower.... I am not sure if I read it on here or another FB page or what. It may be something to look into.

I have a tablespoon or two of brown rice with some stuff. I could go with out it, but I like the texture difference with some of the stuff I have it with.

I am 10 weeks and have had a few bites with some of my foods. Esp. Curry chicken. I only allow a few bites though and its satisfying. I tried it at 9 week's.

I've read where it is one of that last things we an add and it may take longer to tolerate it than other things..... I will definitely want to add some rice here and there at some point too, but I'll be using it more like a garnish than the main event like I used to!

I think giving it a few months makes sense. Thanks for the feedback.

Riced cauliflower is fantastic. Put it in your food processor and pulse until it looks like rice. Put in microwave to cook(3-5 minutes) and depending if it is fresh or not does not need any Water, it makes its own steam. Add butter and enjoy.

I'm less than a week post-op, so I have no idea how it will sit with me, but I love to make fried "rice" with cauliflower. This is the recipe I have used in the past - maybe some of you would like it. http://nomnompaleo.com/post/3195098303/asian-cauliflower-fried-rice

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
