In 1999 I lost 212 lbs, Gastric by pass surgery, continued on the next year to lose another 35 to 40.
In 2001 I lost about 155 or so. Best weight I ever lost, (got a divorce) lmao
Oh yeah I weighed 416 at last weigh in before surgery

Thatās really amazing. Well done! I am all for using whatever tools you have at your disposal and whatever works (including divorce! lol) to make you happy. 
I have decided that life is entirely too short and precious to waste any of it being unhappy if I can help it.
Low carb is all about the fats! Just not the rice. 
Itās the one grain Iāll miss. I can do without pasta, bread, chips, and crackers, but I love rice. Ask @Joel5, he knows how much sushi I eat. LoL. Iāve found some pretty good looking alternatives though so weāll see how it goes. 
Rice!..
noooooooooo
Well good luck, I misunderstood and thought you could have it. I getting ready to shoot some ideas your way but Iāll hold off.
Hey, I donāt mind sharing pictures! Maybe itāll be motivation for someone else! 
Hereās where I was when I started doing grain free eating (right before I went full on low carb)
And here is where Iām at right now (Iām the one wearing actual clothesā¦ lol)

Tell me about it, I make a killer rice to go with Mexican food itās got just enough spice to remind you that there is rice on the plate and eaten alone with a little green sauce and jack cheese melted on it You donāt even need a fork just some tortilla chips. The of course thereās fried rice, wifey kids me all the time that Iāve got more veggies in it than I do rice. The secret ingredients there are spam and toasted sesame oil. Then of course the country style pork ribs grilled for long enough to mark em then into the crockpot with some garlic, onion and most often fresno chili or three and a bottle hopefully my bbq sauce but in a pinch sweet baby rays will do as long as I some more heat and sweet to it. ribs served on a bed of rice swimming in sauce. dayam now Iām getting hungry and Iām drooling.

@VapeyMama and @JoJo. I will say this having been through a pretty full life. The man who loves you rarely looks at you with his eyes, he looks with his heart and he sees your soul, He knows how much he loves you and how that love is returned multiplied by thousands.
