When did you all try to do Rice? Or is that a no-no until you hit goal weight (or forever)? I love Brown rice but I can't find it in my literature from my Surgeon or Nutritionist. (I will ask them when I see them next week)

On my plan, it says to avoid it. Like Pasta, it will expand and make you miserable without offering much in the way of nutrition.

That being said, there are a lot of different plans and opinions. Personally, I have to stay away from carbs, so it you are really carb sensitive, I'd take a pass on it.

I eat brown rice and other "healthy carbs" like legumes and fruit. I have not had a problem (with excessive appetite). I think this can vary from person to person though.

@@busybeebug It's a forever no on my plan. Same as @@blizair09 - anything that expands (bread, rice, pasta).

It's a waste of space in your stomach during the weight loss phase as far as I'm concerned. In the early weeks out - it's actually dangerous (could easily get caught in your staple line and cause a leak).

Cauliflower rice? Is that making cauliflower into a rice type dish, or can you buy it ?

You take the florets and pulse them in a blender until they get to a Rice look/ consistency. Then you can dress it up with spices. Pintrest is my cooking bible lol.

Trader Joe's sells frozen cauliflower rice for the lazy cooks amongst us (including me, so no judgment).

That's me!! TJs for the win.

costco has it too, if you like to buy in bulk. It is the fresh variety with the veggies in the walk in refrigerator.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
