Pasta and rice with lap band????

[ladyjordan 105]

thank you everyone I am really glad for the responses, I haven't eaten any rice yet and if I tried it im sure it would be brown rice, I just had a lean cusine meal that had noodles in it, it was the first time I ate it, but it went down fine, I was just wondering on this journey there will be a lot of people saying different things about what you can and cant eat, that's why I always ask questions to see if any one has faced the same issues, but thanks a bunches guys.. :wub:

I can eat any carbs... Pasta, bread, Cereal... except rice. Everything else ok. It doesn't get stuck... just feels strange going down.

I've had no issues with anything other foods... except apple skins... feel strange going down... and NO carbonated beverages.

One more thing- asparagus effs me up! Gets stuck every time. And as far as Pasta and rice is concerned, when i eliminated it from my diet- i just sat back and watched the pounds melt away so fast! When I tried incorporating them back into my diet after a couple months, not only did my weight loss slow down, I've actually gained a couple pounds back at a couple points. Then eliminate them again, and the fat melts away once again. Pay attention to the type of calories you're eating and how it's affecting your journey. I use myfitnesspal religiously. Tremendous help.

Me at the beginning of the year and me last weekend. What a difference 6 months makes. Feels strange seeing the pic to the left. When i looked in the mirror thought I looked the way I do now. I told myself I wouldn't post a pic until my one year bandiversary but what the hell. First four months down for me, here's to our next four months guys!
