That's funny! I've never had couscous or quinoa, though I know the latter is very trendy right now. I have had risotto and it's delicious when properly made. Was your nutritionist recommending them? I can see why couscous and quinoa would be recommended, but am surprised by risotto. I would think the fat content would be too high. But it you're having it recommended to you, I will ask my nutritionist as well - I love that stuff!

No she hasn't recommended any of them I'm just noticing them on menus more often now that I can get my usual (loaded mash and corn or rice and fries) I try to prepare myself if I go to a restaurant I'm off restrictions but I am still very nervous to try anything

All 3 of them are a big NO for me...I guess it all depends on what your NUT wants your daily carb count to be. One serving of any of those would be more than all the carbs I'm "allowed" in a day. Which stinks, cause I love all 3.

      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.
