Why no Rice?



Recommended Posts

Just curious if anyone knows or has been told also by there Dr, NO rice,,, I mean I know it isnt the healthiest, but dang I like chicken fried rice once in a while from the Chinese resaurant or Brown Rice even....with veggies in it..

I will have to ask my Dr, I just saw it in his list of NO-NO foods....

Two answers come to mind...

1. Rice has little nutritional value and is all carbos.

2. It get stuck easily.

wow, I'm surprised to see you all have problems with rice, it is one food I do particularly well with. It goes down well, and knock on wood, I've not had a problem with it. I mix the spanish rice with pintos and cheese at taco bell, love broccoli, rice & cheese, and often have Jambalaya, it wasn't on my list of things to avoid... I don't think... I suppose I should have a better look. It just goes to show how very different we all are.

Hi,

I eat rice occasionally. Dont have any problems getting it down, I just dont see the value of eating it since it isnt healthy and doesnt really fill me up. I would rather have some Beans and a nice slab of meat. ! LOL Dot get me wrong, I love rice and eat it maybe once a month, but did not my first 6 months of banding cause its a bad carb!!!

I also do not have any problems with rice. In fact I haven't had any problems at all. BUT...I am too afraid to try bread or anything crispy. I love chicken and it has gone down really well. I've heard a lot of people can't eat chicken either.

I don't have any problems with rice either, but I don't have it nearly as much as I used to. 3 bowls of rice as a meal is just one of my many pre band problems. :(

I don't have any "forbidden" foods...everything in moderation, as tolerated, as long as most of the time I'm eating like a bandster (in the proper order). I have brown rice all the time...has nutrients and Fiber and doesn't get stuck. I also have sushi/maki rolls regularly and that has white rice.

I also don't have any "forbidden" foods. I try to do everything in moderation, even moderation. Brown rice works well for me. Little servering of it, but it works. ooooh Maki and sush rolls go down nicely too, just not too many!

Would it depend on the variety of rice too - like Arborio is really sticky whereas a long grain like Basmati isnt?

I can imagine life without rice - in and of itself who cares? It has no taste and little nutritional value (well the white variety) but its such a given with certain things isnt it? Who could eat a Thai curry without jasmine rice?

I'm more worried about bread. I will cry tears of despair over that.

Never was told by my doc but everytime I eat rice it comes back up. I don't know why; I guess it expands. But I have learned to avoid it unless it has gravy. And I used to love fried rice.

I have no problems with rice at all, I make stir frys 3 times a week most weeks and serve it on a little mound of rice. I dont eat a lot of it, but I do it and I do like it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
