I am months post op and I want rice like no ones business. But is that a good idea? I havent been watching carbs at all I have been focussing on my Water and Protein. When did you guys start eating rice again or Pasta?

I am not a pasta person and I have no interested in bread only rice.

I would love you input and if you still don't eat it say so! I do not want to go down the rabbit hole.

I've had brown rice a few times and black rice once. I had brown rice maybe 6 mths post op and a few times since but never much more than 2 tbsps. Other than the glutenous white rice in sushi white rice never held much lure for me. I'm also vigilant enough about avoiding empty carbs that I have shied away from processed carbs like white rice.

My surgeon says no rice, Pasta, bread, crackers for at least 6 months post op, as they form a Gummy ball in your sleeve and he doesn't want to have to go in surgically and retrieve it.

I used to love rice. White rice, brown rice, black rice, Jasmine rice, you name it, I'd inhale it.

Rice makes me hurl now. I can eat a bite or three (small) but within 20 minutes it will come back up. It's almost as if it grows in my stomach and MUST.COME.BACK.NOW. And it does.

I don't even want rice any more. Pahsta (sic) does the same.

How long ago did you have the surgery lady?? It says you been a member since 2013 so I'm assuming 2 years and still can't stomach rice??

I mostly stayed away from white carbs until I passed goal. I'm not a big rice or Pasta eater so it was no big deal. But I do LOVE sushi and starting around 9-10 months out I have had it at least a couple times/month. Same goes with Thai food...it's really the only time I eat noodles.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
