My husband is Nigerian and we have a lot of meals with rice and I was wondering was anyone out there ever able to do rice or noodles again?

I'm not obsessing about it and I don't mind subbing for the most part. I just wondered if it will even be a possibility. We also love Italian food. I guess I'm just wondering if I'll ever enjoy food again. Not over eat but enjoy .Right now I don't care that much about food just get sick to easy. I'm two-weeks out will be three weeks out next Tuesday.

Any responses will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

P.S. Ohhh I know I sound all kinds of scatterbrainedlol but on a good note I have lost 41lbs so far. Yea!!

Congrats on your loss!

Yes, I am easily able to eat either- but choose to rarely eat those items. A few noodles in a cup of chicken noodle soup perhaps, or like tonight I had maybe a tablespoon of rice with the szechuan shrimp. Pasta and rice is not so great on the glycemic index and I try to avoid food that trigger a lot of insulin production. Not that I am perfect about that, but I do try.

To be quite honest, I could eat anything that I want, but I choose not to eat bread, rice, pasta, white potatoes. I would rather eat protein first, veggies, and a small amount of healthy complex carb such as yam or quinoia. WLS is a lifestyle change, and for me, my lifestyle change doesn't involve these foods, but they weren't a large part of life prior to surgery, so I don't miss them. Small amounts of anything won't put the weight back on, but you need to be aware of portion size and eat a small amount on a occasional basis, but I would wait until maintenance or very close to it. JMHO.

Every once in a while..... someone shows up here or at my support group and says.....

"Ya know.... I'm Italian.... and we eat Pasta.... It's part of our culture"..... "We eat..... It's a family thing"

This really strikes a nerve with me........

News Flash !!!!

Most every culture has some sort of Carby Staple !!!!!

And as Americans we are exposed/cultured to EAT EVERYTHING from EVERY CULTURE......

I'm picking on Italians cause it seems to be the most common....... But.......

I always have to chime in and call them out......

My line is (I'm Asian):

"Do you think Pasta and Bread is more important to you and your culture than Rice and Noodles is to mine?"

I always get the "Oh..... You got a point"

That said, I eat some carbs in Maintenance...... I use a ratio of 3-2-1 when I eat carbs......less than 80grams per day.

- 3 parts protein
- 2 parts veg
- 1 part carb

This.
My family is from Ireland, and I was pretty sure I couldn't live without potatoes. I haven't had potatoes since surgery, because I choose not to.
Physically, could I eat them? Sure, but they have no place in my diet right now.

Can I eat them - Yes.

Do I - Yes, now that I am in maintenance (I have had some rice and bread - no noodles yet).

Would I have had them during weight loss - NO.

High protein foods also prompt your body to release glucagon. Glucagon is a hormone that encourages your body to release fat into the blood stream. This is goodness - especially during weight loss.

I am 4 months out and I can eat 2 tablespoons of roce and the only noodles I eat are the ones on chicken noodle soup. I choose not to eat a lot of carbs because it just makes me want more. And I live in louisiana and everything down here involves rice in some way, shape, or form but I knew that I would have to change my mindset before I even had surgery. Congratulations on you weight loss.

You survived what you thought would kill you. Now straighten your crown and go forward like the Queen you are!

I've had both. I tolerate them easily. I don't eat much of them but like a tbsp or two of rice. I'm 5 months out and 84 lbs down. I'm not excluding anything at this point. Limiting , yes. Excluding no. I have some issues with bread unless it is toasted and really do avoid it because I don't like the way it sits.

My issue with weight gain is portion size. If I have issues I can revisit but this works for me.
