AWD12368 30 Posted November 5, 2015 I am months post op and I want rice like no ones business. But is that a good idea? I havent been watching carbs at all I have been focussing on my Water and Protein. When did you guys start eating rice again or Pasta? I am not a pasta person and I have no interested in bread only rice. I would love you input and if you still don't eat it say so! I do not want to go down the rabbit hole.

BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 5, 2015 I've had brown rice a few times and black rice once. I had brown rice maybe 6 mths post op and a few times since but never much more than 2 tbsps. Other than the glutenous white rice in sushi white rice never held much lure for me. I'm also vigilant enough about avoiding empty carbs that I have shied away from processed carbs like white rice.

Sharon1964 2,530 Posted November 6, 2015 My surgeon says no rice, Pasta, bread, crackers for at least 6 months post op, as they form a Gummy ball in your sleeve and he doesn't want to have to go in surgically and retrieve it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted November 6, 2015 I used to love rice. White rice, brown rice, black rice, Jasmine rice, you name it, I'd inhale it. Rice makes me hurl now. I can eat a bite or three (small) but within 20 minutes it will come back up. It's almost as if it grows in my stomach and MUST.COME.BACK.NOW. And it does. I don't even want rice any more. Pahsta (sic) does the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kindle 8,667 Posted November 6, 2015 I mostly stayed away from white carbs until I passed goal. I'm not a big rice or Pasta eater so it was no big deal. But I do LOVE sushi and starting around 9-10 months out I have had it at least a couple times/month. Same goes with Thai food...it's really the only time I eat noodles.
