How is everyone doing with rice? When did you guys start eating it? Im good with whole wheat pasta and gluten free bread.

How far out are you?

Are you near your goal?

I didn't allow myself rice or much pasta until I was 6 months out. Even then, I don't eat much of it now. When I have anything with rice, I usually only use about a tablespoon of cooked rice to mix in with the dish or so. Otherwise, it fills me up way too fast. I've had pasta twice in the last few weeks, but again, very small amounts. I'm now almost 9 months out. I don't eat or drink very many other carbs, so I allow myself pasta or rice every now and then. But it's usually alongside lots of veggies and meat (which I eat first).

Hi. I started having rice after a year. I have a half a rice spoon with grilled chicken and vegetables or same amount in a soft taco. I was sleeved 5/29/15. HW 340 SW 320 CW 205.

I'm almost 10wks out and I can tolerate rice. I don't eat a lot of it but will have it on occasion for a treat, like my Mom's Red Beans and Rice she made this weekend for a Mardi Gras party.

Over 1.5 years out and I have never had rice since surgery. It has no nutritional benefits to me, at all.

Why would anyone even want to eat rice post-op? Just buy rice cauliflower or make your own. Almost no calories and it won't ruin your plan.

I'm 30 months out and rice still gives me a stomachache. I never liked it all that much anyway though so I'm okay with it!

I miss rice....but i'll be ok. Had me some one nite (i had forgotten it was forbidden) abour 2mo's post op....I puked sooooo hard that it scared me! Imma wait until a year out (mid Nov.) & maybe try it again. Right now...... Hell no!

Great pics, great job!

I'm almost five months post op and I haven't had rice. I was told you can eat that once you reach your goal weight. I have made cauliflower rice and that was good. Even now I struggle getting my protein In, I don't eat anything that doesn't have a nutritional value.

Great way of thinking I am going to start the habit of only eating foods with nutritional value also and stay strict with it. Your pics look awesome great job.
