For me, Rice was one of the first foods to go on my "No longer eat list" (I'm a lap-bander)

Have not had it in years.

I have one and love it. My surgery is Monday so I'm not sure what I will tolerate post op but I made everything in it fish, chicken, steamed vegetables

I would say best to get a grill and a slow cooker. I don't eat rice and don't want to so I never use my rice cooker that I bought before surgery for my ex. Invest in something you will use for long term.

You can steam your veggies on the stove or just get a steamer. Good luck!

Rice is one of the foods I choose not to eat post surgery. It has a lot of empty calories that I can use other ways. I did try sushi rice once, at about 4 months. I had such severe cramps, and it felt like a knot in my stomach. Last time experimenting with that!

I still eat brown rice with Beans once or twice a week. Not a lot of it but enough to have one or two vegan type dinners. It's just too easy to throw two cups of Water in with a cup of brown rice and cook for 45 mins vs. adding another kitchen toy to my collection.

What kind of dinners are you having rice with that you need a rice cooker?

Going back one day I see you want to make sushi? I tried making my own once and found that it was much harder than I thought it would be? But give it a try? Maybe you'll find an easier way than I did? I think we went with sushi rolls with seaweed, some veggies like asparagus, cucumber with some shrimp and/or salmon on each one. It looked so easy but I think I'm too impatient. Let us know how it works for you?

The other day I had a sushi roll that had brown rice and had a hard time getting it down. I ate the first 3 pieces and it was not comfy and then half hr later I worked on the last 3 pieces and it was hard getting it down. So now I just don't bother with it. bread rice Pasta potatoes are hard to get down. It feels so uneasy and I just hate the feeling. I took a bite of the udon last night and I felt really uncomfy. So I just stick to things that work and not experiment much. I also had RNY. But I would say best to not introduce rice if you don't have to you know what I mean?

You know, before you invest in a rice cooker(even though they're cheap), you should try sushi from a restaurant to make sure your band is going to let you eat the stuff?

If you get a rice steamer be sure to invest in a stainless steel one so you're not cooking in plastic. I don't eat rice but we use our Lotus Foods rice cooker all the time. Family eats rice and steamer can also be used for other grains like quinoa, buckwheat, oatmeal, etc. It's magic.

I can tolerate rice u can also make other grains too

I can make rice pretty good but the other grains not so much...

I Had a rice cooker steamer about 15 yrs ago and did well with it.

I still have it unfortunately it no longer works properly.

I also want one I can delay cook times that would be awesome bc I work till 7 sometimes 8 at night.

It would be super when I came home wouldn't have to cook.

You can use a rice cooker for so much more than rice ... Grains like quinoa and oatmeal, lentils, Beans, cous cous,etc. Its also great for steaming veggies and fish. I use my rice cooker more than my slow cooker.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
