Is steamed rice ok? I'm on soft foods. I made salmon for Protein then I have some greens but I also boiled rice is that ok?

It's probably perfectly "safe", but one of our cardinal rules is no rice, bread or Pasta, especially in our losing stages. They are just empty carbs with little to no Protein. I did add more carbs in the form of whole grains and fruit once I passed my goal weight, but even boiled rice isn't worth all those carbs and calories to me.

I'm 8 months out and rice hurts sometimes. The problem is, it has the tendency to expand in your stomach and fill you up before you get your Protein in.

On the soft foods, 100% of your intake should be lean Protein of some sort.

I do not eat rice, Pasta, white bread or potatoes. Because I love sushi so much I had to try to see if I could eat it. At about 4 months I ate a few pieces of sushi and an hour later wished I had not. The rice swelled in my stomach and I felt terrible. That was the last time I tried. It is not worth it to me.

It depends on your program! This question would be best directed to your nutritionist. Every program is different and each have VERY different 'rules'. My program DOES allow rice, Pasta, bread, toast, tortillas, etc. I am 7 wks out and eating many forms of whole grain carbs and complex grains and losing nicely.

I have no restriction on rice/pasta/bread etc. Occasionally I have said items with no digestive issues. Lots of people do have a terrible time with them, and a lot of people avoid them because they are so carby.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
