I've been advised I can have lasagne, cannelloni, macaroni cheese and risotto from about 4 weeks post-op. You need to avoid "dry" pasta or plain rice as it can get stuck so adding tomato or cheese based sauces will help, or even in soups... minestrone or chicken noodle spring to mind. I'd also avoid spaghetti, linguine, tagliatelle etc for now and stick to the smaller pasta shapes.

Yeah I was about 12 weeks before I ate Rice & Paste. beware though, dont eat to much, as it swells in the pouch, and you can feel bloated after just a few mouth fulls.

I can only eat a mouthful of rice and Im done, same with pasta. It really don't go down that well.

I've found that I can eat pasta ok but not so good with rice. Even muller rice and rice pudding don't go down well.

Pasta doesn't really agree with me very much. A very small serving bloats me.

I tolerate pasta well now, but lots of people struggle with it, and I was about 4 months before I could manage more than about a forkful.

I am 12 months and have only just been able to eat pasta and even now it is just a spoonful and it has to be perfectly cooked. Rice hasn't been a problem from about 9 months post op. I can even do rice with out sauce.

Try baby rice (not the weaning stuff) small baby sized rice and baby pasta and cook a little longer than rec. I can have a bit of that its good as my baby has hers and i have small amount she has more than i do lol
