Mashed potatoes are my friend but rice is my enemy

[LifeIsAllGood 272]

I've recently just started eating mashed potatoes with a little gravy and I hold it well with no problems but the slightest taste of rice will have me on vomit alert!!!! Some are vice versa it's crazy

I love potatoes too. Haven't tried rice. Noodles are GrOSS!

Can we eat rice and Pasta? ??? I was told to stay away from these two foods. But of course it probably depends on your Dr. orders.

I was told to stay away from Pasta and stay away from red meat for a year....but I wanted to try rice just to see and it's a mistake I've made a few times

I agree with you....cause noodles yuck

I love me some Pasta. The thought of never being able to eat it again makes me sad. But just like anything else, I'll get over it. I can do without rice. At 3 mos post op I will be able to introduce a wider selection of red meats. I can eat ham and canadian bacon, turkey, and various fish.

Pasta and rice I can go without. But I love potatoes. I actually ate some the other day after having dinner walked past them and took a scoop and no I wasn't hungry. Oh my stomach hurt so bad. There wasn't room for it. Why did I do it. I knew better. I will try to keep this memory of bad decisions for next time.

Just to be clear, I've had all of one spoonful of white mashed potatoes, and literally one noodle (made hamburger helper for the kids and picked out ground beef for me and a noodle fell in. Tasted like paste!).

I did eat a full serving (4-6oz?) of sweet potatoes while on vacation.. yum! I think they'll be my new splurge. Cake? No. Ice cream? No. Sweet potatoes? YES!! Lol.

Kids might be disappointed when my birthday rolls around..

I just ate crab legs for first time since surgery and I had no problems whatsoever and that made me happy because I can do without the meats so I'm able to eat seafood and that works for me....and eggs taste nasty to me now and I hate that because I used to love them

I feel your pain and I've been there myself and the best thing to do is walk until it moves down because once that stomach starts hurting and you sit down Boy oh Boy

I used to eat eggs every morning and now it just makes me sick. Sad really. I'm always at a loss for what to eat for Breakfast now. I usually just do a yogurt.
