I'm able to tolerate brown rice in very very small amounts. I make sure Protein is first, no drinking liquids 30 minutes before or after eating. I am post op May 2008...suffered a blockage and almost died 11 days after my first surgery. Had emergency procedure to fix and love where I'm at right now and would do it all over again!

Haven't had any yet and am 4.5 months out. My doc says it's not very nice to the pouch

I eat basmati. Can handle about 5 tablespoons.

I've had about a tablespoon of brown. I would not do more then that just out of fear it puffs up.

Rice = low protein/high carb. I stay away. Try a little quinoa if you're really jonesing for grains...

I make a "salad" with chicken, quinoa, herbs, spices, and citrus juices. I don't eat grains very much, but when I do, it's a small amount of quinoa or a little bit of oats...

This is what I made for a holiday grain dish:

Saute a bunch of chopped shallots/onions in oil and add spices ( I used garam masala, coriander, and cumin). Cook till spices are toasty. Add to cooked quinoa (I used red) with grapefruit juice, chopped pistachios and dried cherries, and chopped parsley. Everyone loved this...

Sounds good. I like quinoa but havent done much with it due to just being my daughter and I and she wont eat it. Sam's club has a big bag of it cheap. Maybe I should try it in meatloaf

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
