What does your plan say? My plan has all rice on the "avoid forever" list.

My plan says avoid all rice during weightloss phase. Even if my plan allowed it, I would not have room for it.

Almost three years out and rice still doesn't agree with me. What does your plan say? Rice can be especially hard on incision lines and smaller stomachs and pouches because of the way it expands.

I tried to avoid all foods I felt addicted to in order to break those habits and eliminate the psychological hold food had over me for long term success.

I haven't eaten rice (I'm almost 5 months post-op), it's pretty worthless nutrition-wise right now. When I get to maintenance, I may add it back in on occasion, but it won't be a mainstay of my diet ever again.

I'd caution you to be very careful eating foods you're willing to admit you've been 'addicted to' in the past. WLS isn't a magic bullet that protects you from the same food problems you had previously.

No room for rice - rice expands more in the stomach than other carbs too, I'd advise extreme caution. Does your plan talk about rice?
