So I remember something about not eating rice with the band but can't remember why (other than the carb content). Isn't there another reason why we shouldn't eat rice?

I couldn't eat white rice before being banded because it would clump up in my chest area (for lack of a better description) but some brown rice pilafs I try sparingly because I don't like the feeling I get with the white rice. I love rice btw, I grew up having rice 3 to 4 times a week so I would love to eat rice again, I'm just afraid to.

I couldn't eat any rice until the band because of my hernia. It was fixed then, too and now I do fine with rice.
