Eating rice

I'm two weeks post op and am eating soft foods per the Surgeons instructions. Would it be ok if I ate soft cooked rice in tomato sauce? I have a call in to the Nut but I'm wondering if this would be something that I can try today. Thanks!

You should not be having any carbs this soon out. Atleast not based on the food plan my dic puts us on

Actually the surgeon and Nut has recommended mashed potatoes. I'm not too concerned right now about the carb because The dish that I am wondering about is chicken cut up over rice. At this point I'm not eating more than a nibble of anything other than protein. I guess I was just wondering if it would be hard to digest rice. Thanks

It shouldnt be hard to digest. I wasnt allowed mash potatoes 

I ate mashed potatoes when I was on blended foods.  But rice was a no no on my list until at least 6 months.  It kind of expands in your stomach I think.  The first time I had a bite of rice I was about 6 months post op and I felt really yucky.  It is one of the only foods that I've had an adverse reaction to.  

I was worried about digesting rice. I guess I will mash up some baked beans and see if I can taste and tolerate them. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

No problem.  I ate a lot of refried beans with cheese.  Also, if you like yogurt, the Dannon Light and Fit greek yogurt is good, in my opinion.  I like the toasted coconut vanilla kind.

Hey surgery day friend 

My nut and everyone in my support group tells me they can not eat rice now. They say it doesn't feel good in their bellies. I have not had one person in the group tell me that they are ok with it which really sucks for me cause I love sushi.

Good luck if you do try it and if it works out ok let me know.

Hey, I'm not brave enough to try rice yet. I'm just craving something with flavor. Lol I will let you know if I ever do try it.

I love su****oo so now when I go I eat only the fish part and throw the rice out. Doesn't take much to fill me up but I still get the fix I'm needing
