I am craving sushi bad. When I eat it, I order rolls without the rice. I can eat flaky fish right now. I was wondering when people who eat sushi introduced this or tried it again? I was eating sushi like 2x a week at least. I haven't had it in a month and it's hard. I know I can have it again. I was just wondering when people had it. Again I DONT eat the rice so basically is fish an vegis. Any suggestions?

I'm fine with the rice, but the seaweed gets me every time. :(

Good suggestion. When did you start eating sushi again?

If you are on 'regular' food, you should be able to try it. Also..since you are not eating the rice, try the sashimi. That's just the sliced fish. You can cut the fish as small as you like and not worry about the rice or seaweed wrap..which can sometimes make you take too large a piece. If you don't dip the fish into the soy sauce, it's very low in calories and sodium. If you want the soy sauce, cut it with Water and use the low sodium to help minimize the water weight. Enjoy!

I'm going on my 4th month and I can eat about 3-4 pieces and then I'm completely stuffed. Just make sure the roll u pick is moist. I don't do tempura rolls. And do low sodium sauce.

Rice is one of the foods I have not =been able to eat since my 2nd fill almost 3 years ago....so no matter how much I may crave it...one swallow and the craving is quickly replaced with something else....thus forever solving that head hunger issue!

It's that way for many other things also.

Well that sounds slightly horrible. I'm going to stay hopeful that I will be able to tolerate most of my favs. I fail on "diets" and cutting things out. If I didn't, I wouldn't have Needed the surgery. However I am realistic and I do know there may be things I don't tolerate. I just hope it's not forever. The thing with sushi for me is, I take off the rice and seaweed and still get all the same great tastes and my craving is solved and a million x's healthier

Thanks for the help though

I can eat sushi just fine. I could tolerate something like that about two weeks out. After that my ability to tolerate sushi is simply based on my level of restriction.

I love Sushi, but after my last fill a month ago, I feel really uncomfortable eating it. I have to cut them in pieces, even the tiny rolls. I tried to eat one roll, and even though I chew and chew, I felt stuck :(

I'm agree with most others here. Me and rice do not get along and if I do eat sushi it's a very slow process. *chew chew chew* Even then I can only eat a few pieces.

I can eat sushi and usually ask them to be made with brown rice. I make sure I order them with something soft inside like cream cheese or avocado. 3-4 rolls are more than enough and I have to make sure I chew them extra good. Sometimes, I even cheat by cutting the roll in half just to make sure I'm not stuffing my mouth and regret it later.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
