Anybody able to eat chicken and rice casserole

[1975hoss 0]

I am preop currently but go in for surgery in two days. It was wondering when you get to the puréed stage if anyone had tried a chicken rice casserole. We are going on vacation about 25 days after surgery and I will be transitioning from puréed to soft foods. I was thinking this might be something good to take on vacation.

I should of ask how you tolerated the rice. I figured we would use canned chicken and make sure it is mashed really well.

My surgeon said no to rice ir Pasta since it still expands

I'm three years out and rice makes me upchuck. Sometimes it's right away, sometimes it's 30-45 minutes later. I try a bite every few months but nope.

I wasn't allowed to even try rice until cleared for full foods. I think that wasn't until 6 weeks out. It had to be brown rice. But same as @@LipstickLady it doesn't agree with me at all. At 6 months out I avoid it like the plague!

I'm not allowed rice. Expands in stomach. You could have the casserole minus the rice. ????

I'd say 25 days out is too soon anyway. I little piece of rice could cause a problem with healing.

You might be able to, but it wouldn't be my first choice. Rice is empty , non nutritious calories that take up precious space in your teeny tiny tummy. There are a lot better high protein/low carb choices for the pureed/soft food stages. Try adjusting the recipe minus the rice. You could reducing the liquid and add unflavored Protein Powder to act as a binder.< /p>
