Can I have over cooked rice during week 2 post op?



Recommended Posts

Yeah I would totally avoid the rice for now. My doc doesn't want me ever eating it again. I'm about 8-9 months out and I think I had maybe two table spoons of rice a few weeks ago when I went out to a friends birthday dinner. I made sure to chew it up really good but also didn't want to over do it either. To substitute rice, whenever I had cravings for it, I would do quinoa instead. Its better in that it won't get all doughy like inside of your tummy like rice and bread does. Another benefit of quinoa over rice is that it has Protein in it and can count towards your protein goals for the day.

Are you on a B-12? I have the B-12 nasal spray and I have almost limitless energy now.

What brand do you use? I would love to try this. My surgeon and NUT both have suggested adding a b-12 supplement.

I use the one prescribed by my Doctor. Nascobal. They also provide bariatiric Vitamins for "free" each month with the Nascobal prescription.
