Oh how I love sushi

Hi,

I am not banded yet, and I just finished a sushi lunch box. While stuffing my face with sticky rice, I was thinking, "I probably won't be able to eat this at all after my band". I know everyone's band is different and everyone can tolerate (or not tolerate) different things, but I was wondering how many you who are banded can eat rice, and if so, how many can eat the sticky Japanese rice and/or sushi and sushi rolls? Sushi is a major passion of mine and I can't imagine going the rest of my life with never eating it again.

It's not recommended, due to the rice, lol, also I tried it and it didn't stay down very well, I was actually kind of glad.

Hi, Sushi *was* my favorite thing. I kinda laughed after banding, because every time I checked, it was like "A-OK, rice is still going down, I am blessed." Then, almost 7 months and 50 pounds lost after banding, I was at a client christmas party, and THAT SUSHI RICE DID NOT GO DOWN! It sent me scurrying for a bathroom. I have checked twice since, and have conceded that "Sashimi" is now my favorite thing. It goes down fine....

Cheers!!

I was going to say the same thing - just more onto sashimi. Its jsut as good, in fact better since the fish is so good for you. Not as much fish in sushi.

Sashimi GOOD!! Sushi, not good. Seaweed wrappers, the devil!!!

The very worst banding-related experience I had was due to some seaweed I didn't chew well enough -- hah, like you can chew seaweed. Sashimi is perfect bandster food, though, so go to your favorite restaurant and pig out!!

Help, what is sashimi. I love sushi and thought possibly I could try it but after reading this I guess its not a good idea. So if someone could help with sashimi, maybe I wouldn't be so disappointed.
