rice and pasta

And another! Are you eating rice and/or pasta? My nutritionist had said to avoid it the first year. I have had a couple bites of rice and it fills me fast. I;ve had a few rice cakes and they can leave me uncomfortable. I have not had any pasta yet. Lisa

I have had a few bites of pasta, but it fills me too quick. I avoid rice because of the fullness and I don't want that in me. I do eat rice cakes though lol, those are my "snacks" with a bit of melted cheese on top. Molly

ooohhh Pasta.. I cant eat it. makes me feel so bad. Like a rock in my tummy.. I so miss it. Was my very favorite before.. Now Rice?? I havent had to much of it. I am trying to remember if it went down ok? hhmmmm....... I think so, cuz I would of remembered if it didnt, right?. But I usually dont have room for the rice.. I always save it for last, by that time I am too full.. Luvs and Hugs! Tiff

Pasta doesn't agree with me at ALL!!! I get violently ill from it. Rice I have tried and haven't seem to have much of a problem with it. I choose not to eat it because it fills me up quickly and then I feel yucky. Allison

I haven't been eating either because Pasta makes me sick. Feels crappy in my pouch. I did, however purchase a box of Dreamfields Pasta from GNC on Friday and we had it for dinner tonight. I has only 5 digestable carbs and 7 grams of protein. It was SOOOOO YUMMY!!! Tasted just like real pasta, but didn't hurt my belly at all. It was a bit price, $2.69 a one pound box, but SOOO worth it. I used my GNC card and got 20% off. They have lasagna noodles, too. My friend that had WLS 4 years ago recommended it. Her family does Atkins and love it, too. Now, rice???? I have tried it here and there, and did fine. I just don't make it very often. Rice cakes are ok with me.

Oh Tabby, I am totally going to try that GNC pasta.. Sounds good!! Tiff

You are going to love it. I enjoyed my dinner SOOOOO much tonight. My friend said she gets hers at Kroger's (a grocery chain around her) and the price is about the same as what GNC was.

Oh, Tabby, thanks for the GNC pasta tip! I will have to try that...I miss having a bit of pasta with my meatball Lisa

I eat whole wheat pasta, brown rice and rice a roni pretty regularly. They are never the entree, just a side dish and I rarely have more than a 1/3 cup of rice and a few bites of pasta. It's been nice to not get sick on things, however it makes me nervous about maintenance. I guess I'll just have to wait and see....

Are you eating rice and/or pasta? I can I just don't do it often. I have had pasta several times in the last couple months. About a 1/2 cup or so is about all I can eat of it. I just had rice on last Wednesday. WAS YUMO! Went down fine and didn't fill me up at all. Was probably 1/2 cup or less not sure as it was a side with my fish. *huggles* Felicia =0)
