Ok so I am out 15 weeks post op from Gastric bypass and I just had a question, when is it ok to add rice or pasta to ur diet? I know that it is high in carbs and blah blah blah but I just wanted to know if it was a certain time that it was ok

Think I just lost my post! Rats!
Anyway, as you know pasta and rice=no good for us.
But, I had pasta at about 4 months out. I can tolerate it. Rice=harder to digest. 6 months. I can eat both now, but
seldom do. If I am out for dinner and it comes with meal.. I have a little... but
I try to eat very little.
HOWEVER.. not all bypass people tolerate it. My friend throws up everytime
she eats pasta. She is 2 years out.

You need to ask your doctor or your NUT about this to be on the safe side, I wasn't allowed those things till a year out and when I do have it, I don't have much, like tonight I had stir fry and used about 2 tbs rice was all.

Thanks everyone... My dr says 3 months out and I can add it in my diet but I wanted to ask before I start doing it lol , I have tried it before and I tolerated it ok but it was very little!

I'm almost a year out and still don't have rice or pasta. I have had a bite or two of each maybe twice but I don't miss it so don't eat it. Same with potatoes. I eat more bread than anything but make sure it's WW and has fiber and protein.
