Question about Rice and Noodles

I am 8 weeks post-op after an open RNY. A couple of days ago I was finally cleared by my surgeon to proceed to "real food." Yay! I am now allowed to eat eggs, cottage cheese, rice, noodles, mashed/baked potatoes, refried beans, cheese and some pureed meats. So far I've tried the potatoes, eggs, cottage cheese a little bit of Chef Boyardee low fat cheese ravioli, and some well-chewed chicken. All have gone down great. I would like to try some rice and noodles over the weekend and wondered if any of you have tried Rice-a-Roni or Pasta-Roni (or any of the prepackaged mixes). Did they sit well with you? Are they good nutritional choices? I wondered also if mixing them with skim milk and margarine was a good idea. I like the idea of having them because they taste good, are easy to prepare and easy to store for a couple of days but I also want to make good choices. I'd appreciate your suggestions!
