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??

I'm Bengali and I miss rice and roti and my curries :( my surgeon told me to stay away from it for 6months but I don't think I'll eat rice until I hit my goal weight.

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.

Lema, I'm in London - I had my surgery on the 15th Sept. Where are you from? When did you have your surgery? So far I've stayed away from our dishes. I'll have the odd soft chicken when I cook for hubby and the kids.

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.

Btw when did you have your surgery?

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.

My first nasty experience after surgery was with nan and chicken. Nan is too chewy and elasticky and I was only a month out. I don't know what I was thinking.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
