I really like to make stir fry. I prefer mine over brown rice. Carbs notwithstanding, will rice be sleeve safe eventually?

Some people say they can't tolerate it after the sleeve... I've personally have not had a problem with it (brown rice) I did not try it until after the 3 month mark and never had more than a couple of spoons of it, but no problems.

I eat rice 2-3times a with my post workout meal. Not much though, maybe a 1/4-1/2 cup. I can't eat fish without it being mixed up with a little rice.

Someone mentioned making faux rice out of cauliflower.... I am not sure if I read it on here or another FB page or what. It may be something to look into.

I have had a little rice mixed in when I have had chinese food and had no problem.

I have a tablespoon or two of brown rice with some stuff. I could go with out it, but I like the texture difference with some of the stuff I have it with.

I am 10 weeks and have had a few bites with some of my foods. Esp. Curry chicken. I only allow a few bites though and its satisfying. I tried it at 9 week's.

I've read where it is one of that last things we an add and it may take longer to tolerate it than other things..... I will definitely want to add some rice here and there at some point too, but I'll be using it more like a garnish than the main event like I used to!

I think giving it a few months makes sense. Thanks for the feedback.

Riced cauliflower is fantastic. Put it in your food processor and pulse until it looks like rice. Put in microwave to cook(3-5 minutes) and depending if it is fresh or not does not need any water, it makes its own steam. Add butter and enjoy.

I'm less than a week post-op, so I have no idea how it will sit with me, but I love to make fried "rice" with cauliflower. This is the recipe I have used in the past - maybe some of you would like it. http://nomnompaleo.com/post/3195098303/asian-cauliflower-fried-rice
