CAN I HAVE A SMALL AMOUNT? I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE TEXTURE OF THE RICE MAKING ME SICK. — Janice P. (posted on February 20, 2002)

I would say try it, but be very careful. Aprat from sugar, rice is just the
one thing that is guaranteed to make me sick everytime I eat it. It expands
in your stomach after being eaten making you relly full. So eat VERY slow
and quit the second you feel full. That would be my advice! Good Luck!

Try taking a few bites, chewing and spitting it out...that way your mind
gets the thrill of the taste but your tummy doesn't have to deal with any
unpleasantness...good luck and let us know how it goes!

One good thing about getting sick on a craving, the craving is gone
forever.

Resist! Six weeks seems a bit early for fried rice, but if rice
is on your meal plan, have a couple of spoonsful to satisfy that
craving. Fried rice isn't all that bad...it's not icecream! But
beware OF DUMPING! I went out to lunch with friends about three months
after my rny, my first time out post-surg. We had chinese and I put only
steamed shrimp and a tiny bit of fried rice on my plate. I ate the rice
first. Big mistake! That caused my very first episode of dumping. I got
so
sick I wanted to die. (lol) The thought of fried rice makes me nauseous
now...
and it's been three years! Rny....ya gotta love it.

I agree with the other posts. 6 weeks post RNy is too soon for fried rice.
I had a DS and love fried rice and have never had any problems with it or
any other foods. I started eating rice at around 7-8 weeks post DS. Good
luck!!! If you Really want the fried rice try it and see, What's the worst
that can happen ;o)

I had a little (maybe a 1/4cup) fried rice Sunday night. I am almost 3
months out and boy, did it make me feel awful. My stomach hurt terribly,
and although I didn't throw up, I won't be eating it again. It's amazing
what we find pre-op tasted great, but post-op can make us feel so awful.
Just be careful!

Your profile show's you had the surgery 1-17-02 wouldn't that make you only
five weeks postop? Becareful not to damage your pouch while its healing.

I was a major rice eater pre-surgery but couldn't stomach the stuff for 6
months after WLS. Give yourself some time to heal!

For some reason, I don't digest rice very well. I can eat a little now,
but it made me sick for the first couple of times. I can only imagine that
fried rice will be even worse. Be careful and if you just simply can't
resist, try a little of it. It'll probably make you sick; therefore, you
won't want it anymore. Sad logic, but it works for me.

we r tremendous rice eaters, buying it in 10 lb sacks at a time. but, my dr
said no rice or pasta because it tends to keep swelling in ur pouch. which
is probably why it hurts so
bad. i miss rice & drool everytime i serve it to hubby & nephew.
