Anyone eat it?

Hi,

I have brown rice all the time. I chew chew chew. Yesterday I had a Chinese luncheon special and I get the brown rice and I also buy the microwave small ones from Uncle Ben's. I have no problems with them.

I haven't had it yet, but my diet progression says I can at the 12 week post-op mark.

If you're allowed to have it, try a small amount and chew it really well. I love brown rice & can't wait to have it back in my diet

I was banded 12/28/2013 and I just now this week started eating brown rice without a problem. Before the band I had trouble digesting any kind of rice. Now however, the brown rice was well tolerated.

No Rice.....Early on when I was still in the learning curve I had trouble with rice so I choose to stay away from it.....

I will mix a tablespoon of rice with my Chinese and Thai food, but you can't even tell it's there....

Rice and dough products (breads, pasta, etc) were the first to go...then Red Meat....

I agree, I have no problem with the little Uncle Bens brown rice tub. I think it has a different texture. My nut says it is great for you.

I just had one of those yesterday, loved the small size. even though I chewed and timed my bites it got a little stuck. One thing you have to remeember is rice swells up so make sure you take your time and stop as soon as your body tells you enough

i love brown rice but it isnt very filling so i dont eat it anymore.

I dont eat any rice or pasts. Try quinoa. It comes down to what you are willing to use your calories on.

No rice, it;s on my Dr.'s avoid list. I'm staying away from all bread, pasta and rice. I'll eat some whole grain crackers and some maltigrain cereals with some yogurt. I know right now that I could loose control if I ate those carbs, so it's worth it to stay away.

I did the same thing for the first eight months. Had to stay away, now I have added it back in for the nutritional value.
