shrusara 13 Posted October 19, 2016 I just wanted to know when can u start eating normal Indian food like roti and dal n all... and I eat a lot of chilli so I'm craving spicy stuff a lot Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lema 236 Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) I started eating dal regularly after week 4 because even though it's pureed and a good source of Protein, it gives you gas. I did have a spoonful every once in a while during the puréed phase to get the taste of it and it did not make me sick. Roti is something that I stay away from even now because I am still in the weight loss process and that is our bread which is a no no. Roti/bread is something that we will have to eliminate to once or even less than that in a day type of thing in the long run. As in, eat less than once per day in comparison to with every meal the way we normally do. I was okay with spices after week two but afghans don't use the amount of spices that Indians do. Why don't you put a little bit spice, try a spoonful and see how your stomach reacts??

Lema 236 Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) I am sorry but I have been outside all day today so I didn't get a chance to see the message. I ate a small amount of basmati rice two months out. It filled me very quickly but as expected, I was hungry shortly after. I have also lost my appetite for rice. I don't like it and I don't miss it. Isn't it such a challenge to track calories with our dishes?? There are a gazillion things that we put in one dish. It's scary and leaves us with very limited options on the menu. Without rice or roti, there is nothing we can have for a meal. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Edited October 20, 2016 by Lema Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bubblegirl96 5 Posted October 20, 2016 Hello I'm from Pakistan Two more days and i will be 1 month out of surgery Well my doctor suggested me to try minced chicken mutton and lentils and Beans but very soft after I complete a month To be honest i miss desi food a lot I'm someone who loves spicy food and biryani But I'm controlling I would stay away from rice as much as possible and roti/nan Because they will reduce my weight loss.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I am from Canada but I did my surgery at Mexico because my bmi was low but my health issues were too many on top of the pcos. I will eat one meal the normal stuff of what everyone else eats unless it's rice or something very unhealthy.
