Valuable lesson learned... beware of rice

Well I had my last visit with the dietition last week for 3 months so am on my own , just got to the point where I am allowed to eat almost anything...well today I had 1/4 cup of Chicken Fried Rice and WOWZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZA I will NEVER EVER eat rice again. I was never told to stay away from rice and I got this frozen chicken fried rice and it had high protein , low calorie so I thought it was a great choice.. NOT... I spent the entire day in the bathroom with the runs, and now I had to make an emergency trip to Walgreens for some GasX because my stomach is so hard bloated and just gassy feeling... Anyways wanted to spread the word for the other newbies out there to proceed with caution when it comes to rice... also if the experts could answer any other foods that I should beware of? 

Sorry you had to go through that. With time you will be able to eat rice. It just may be too soon. Also it should be only brown rice which I have to say really doesn't have much of a flavor by itself. I doctor it up a bit.  We can eat any condiment.

Its been almost a year out for me and I still have a problem with wheat pasta. It makes me terribly sick so now I know to stay away from it. Its just to heavy for my stomach. Also make sure all your food is moist if not it will hurt like crazy. But I promise it will get better.  I can eat just about anything and everything which I have to say its not always a good thing. Its too tempting to go back to your old way of eating. Gotta have a lot of determination and motivation to stay true to this new life style. So far so good. I am happy to say that I have gone from a size 24 to a slender size 6. Never thought that would be possible. And that is my motivation !!!!

Good Luck,

Sam

Hi Becca,

   I,too, am about a year out from RNY. I can not eat pasta yet. Get sick every time. I can do small amounts of brown rice, but only allowed 2 level tablespoons. Also my doctor suggested letting it dry a little before eating because it is very high water content. Hope this helps.   Mag
