Sushi, yum yum!

I found a site that breaks down the cals, carbs, and Proteins of sushi sashime and assorted sushi-related foods -

The Sushi FAQ - Sushi Calories and Nutritional Information

I love sushi and it seems like the perfect Protein delivery system post-VSG: small, soft, and flavorful. I'll probably have to switch to sashime rather than sushi 'cuz I've heard the rice is not our friend post-op. If you feel daring, octopus sashime came in at 8 grams of Protein for a 1oz. serving! Miso Soup was pretty low at only 3 grams but I think if I doctor it up with some unflavored Protein powder it might be good for full liquid stage. =)

What a great link - thanks, I'll keep hold of that as I love sushi! Think I may need to swap to sashimi afterwards tho, but still very near to my heart.

I also love sushi. I am almost a month out and was able to eat a piece yesterday. Thanks for the info.

lillita, I freaked out too when I saw the cals but I think what they mean is the entire cigar roll before it is sliced up into pieces. Otherwise, eegad!!

A roll is usually 6-8 pieces no worries!

I was heartbroken about the no rice thing after surgery cuz sushi is my favorite food ever and my tummy is very picky and I just figured rice was one of those "never get to eat again foods"...but I Couldn't hold out anymore and at week 5 I gave in and risked my life for a bite of a sushi roll, and mmm mmm mmm was it delish. No problems with the rice what so ever even that early. I had all of two pieces and a bite of my friends hibachi grilled steak. I was full and on cloud 9 to know I can have my beloved sushi again.

Yeah. I'm trying to find easy ways to make the Protein. 3 pieces of yellow tail sashimi (no rolls) should make it easy!
