Unhappy I will never eat rice again!
Went to a Greek restaurant tonight and had a few spoons of rice! Wow - now I know what a PB is and how uncomfortable it can be to overeat! Lasted about a half hour and I'm glad that's over! I won't be doing that again! I was beginning to wonder if I needed to go to the hospital.

I chewed really well and was very careful and then it just hit me like a brick! Had to be the rice.

Beware all you new bandsters!

My poor Mom...my birthday is Monday and the family is coming for dinner Sat night. She's providing the food (whew!) so she wants to bring chicken shish kabobs (sp?) with rice. Hmmm...banded 4 weeks, still on mushies, and she wants me to eat grilled chicken (dry) and RICE?! I need to educate her, I guess. She asked me what I want for my birthday and I said, "ah, an avocado?" She laughed. I will show her your post...NO RICE!

One of the first rules of the band I heard was 'no rice, no pasta, no potatoes, no bread.'.. That is why. Anything with gluten has the properties to swell and cause you great discomfort with your band, not to mention the white starches tend to be part of our weight problem to begin with. It can be very uncomfortable. I am glad you are okay, but an early lesson may be the one that helps your journey the most. Good luck !:)

Kathy, it just doesn't seem fair that you don't get food of your choice... A nice bowl of chili... :D


Actually, only wheat has gluten. I haven't had trouble with rice, but my DH has a heck of a time with it.

...sorry about your troubles....on the other hand, about a week ago I tried my very FIRST rice since Banding....and it went very well for me....I was very cautious and ate very slowly and with only tiny amounts at a time...total rice & beans made about 1/2 cup...but it was wonderful....
