Rice......

Hi all,
I am  only out 2 weeks and have not yet had a fill.  I have my first one 3/17.  I was wondering if anyone eats rice?  I love rice but do not want to eat it if it is not a good idea.  As long as I am asking....... what about pasta?  

Thanks all!!!!!

I do low carb and I can't have rice, but I did have a small amount of bread it was low carb and it filled me up way to fast.. So I personally would stay away from Bread and Rice, you'll want to get your nutrion from Protiens.

I eat rice and pasta.  I have only eaten the rice at the mexican restaurant though and I know that isn't as "sticky" as some types of rice. I have eaten several types of pasta (mostly through lean cuisine meals) and haven't had any problems as long as I chew really well... The band is a try it and see type of thing...... Good luck!

i eat both, i dont go with the whole brown rice vs white rice thing, its not like i am eating it all the time and everyday, so i eat white rice. but i do like the whole wheat pasta more then the regular stuff.

I eat both and some breads too.  I make sure that my Protein is first and then any fruit/Veg. I tried the whole low carb thing but honestly just making sure my protien is enough for me.  I haven't had any trouble with anyting (yet) however my band is also still empty.

Thanks everyone.  I will see what happens.  I did not want to eat it if I shouldn't.  My daughter got me a rice steamer and it makes yummy rice.  Not sticky at all.  I like to put salsa and cheese on it.  I also got a veggie steamer for Christmas.  I cannot wait till fresh veggies are available to try it.
Thanks again all for your help.  This site rocks!!!!!

I cannot eat rice and I have problems with pasts as well.  I chew and chew but still struggle.  I had to face the fact that some things need to be cut out all together

On Valentines day I had about 2 spoons of rice and the rice didn't sit well at all, made my pouch hurt.  My NUT told us that if we wanted rice and pasta to over cook it, as they will still absorb liquid after the way that they are supposed to be cook.  I personally can't stand overcooked rice or pasta, so I stay away from it.  Breads when I eat any are usually whole wheat and I do eat multi grain crackers with tuna and such. 

Have a great weekend

Im 4 months out. Pasta does not give me any problems, but rice is another story! It was actually the first thing that has become stuck and made me throw up. So needless to say im really afraid to try it again!
