i was told you cant eat rice after being banded,is that true or what does it do to you

Actually rice is one of the easier foods to eat for me. I dont eat a lot of it though, there's more important things to eat.

My advice is to pay absolutely no attention to what everyone says you can and cant eat after banding - because it is different for everyone. I went into it believing I"d be giving up bread, rice and Pasta and it just hasnt been the case - but I cant eat a piece of fish to save my life.

My nutrionist actually suggested for me to have rice with dinner. We just have to test each food and see how we respond. Each one of us has such different experiences. My friend for example could never eat meat, and I was afraid of trying meat. But, I decided to test each food for myself, keeping track and had very finely cut up steak. Very tender steak. I have had chicken, brocolli, eggs, fish, all things my friend has never been able to have. So, if I would have just gone on her experience, I'd really be missing out on some good food!!!

No problem with rice here. I love it.

Rice is one of my favorites but I dont do much of it- spent too many years low carb and old habits are hard to break. I have a really hard time with noodles tho- they seem to get stuck a lot. I think it is because they go down too easy so don't get chewed up all the way.

I can do rice fine. I can't eat very much of it though.
