Hello I am 2 months out and wondering when should I eat rice I'm kinda scared I don't know what to do !

It depends on the guidelines from your surgeon. I wasn't allowed any grains for the first six months because my surgeon's plan is low carb, intensely focused on protein. Even after six months I'm only allowed grains on rare occasions.

If your surgeon's plan allows it. FYI, rice is iffy for many of us. It was my final "hold out" food as far as what I was able to tolerate. Problem was it would "float" on me, (no I wasn't drinking with meals), causing foamies, reflux, etc. Once I passed the 6 month mark it was a problem no longer. I can do half a sushi roll without issue.

i am 13 wks out and on all foods since week 8. i have had rice a few times. the issue for ME is that there is so little room and rice can take up a lot of it. i use about 1 TBSP with 1/2 cup of chinese for my lunch. that's it. no more.

i have found that my tastes for most starchy carbs is really dull now.

My surgeon recommended that I not have rice, bread, pasta or pizza for the first six months. I tried eating rice but it didn't agree with my new tummy. I would suggest you talk to your surgeon and NUT about what is allowed on your plan.

I'm Thai so, rice is like bread to me and I thought I cannot live without it, so since I started the solid food I tried many times to eat rice but it didn't really go well especially if the rice is too dry, I would throw up!! Japanese rice is a bit stickier and softer but I still cannot eat more than a tablespoon (I eat protein first, then vegetable, rice is the last thing).

It's quite bizarre for me living without rice, I know it's also psychological thing so what I do is if I want rice I just put it on my plate and eat it the last. At the end, I couldn't fill it in my tumny anyway, and I feel satisfied lol.

Oh PS my surgeon didn't give me any restrictions on rice or carbs, he said I should eat a bit of everything.

Many people enjoy rice but I do not eat rice by choice. I did have a small amount at four months out. It felt like I had swallowed a football and sat like a rock in my stomach. I have since learned that rice expands after you eat it. It fills you quickly and does not have much in the way of nutritional value.

I'm actually expecting a baby so they told me not to eat empty carbs like rice and I really appreciate you guys giving me your feedbacks
