Sashimi?

[clc1973 0]

Anyone try sashimi post op? If so what was your experience. Im not talking about sushi with rice - i was lap band and converted, so I got very used to no rice. I am 12 days post op and craving chopped spicy tuna...hoping my Dr will greenlight me to start soft/mushee Proteins at my appt on Wednesday. Im souped out, hate cold things and chocolate....

Thanks!

It was on my list of soft solids. Nice thing about the sleeve is that rice is not a no no food, and sushi with rice works wonderfully ! ! ! I don't eat raw fish at all, but know several that once they are released for solids enjoy sashimi. Most people don't get released for soft solids until at least 4 weeks post-op, closer to 6-8 weeks for the more conservative surgeons.

I think I had some about 3 weeks out. Went down very well. It's a great source of Protein and healthy fats! I enjoy sashimi and sushi several times a week.

I was going to pose this same question. I am a sushi fanatic but I wasn't sure how anyone else had dealt with it. I REEEEEALLY hope that it's not one of those things that I can't tolerate. I might cry. LOL

I am a big Sashimi fan. I eat it at least once a week. Before my surgery I could never get out of a sushi place spending less then $50.00. Now I can't eat $50 worth in a month!

Check out a specialty fish store or an Asian supermarket in your area - they will often carry frozen sashimi-grade fish. It's much more affordable than going out to eat and you can cut however many servings you want with a warm knife and put the rest back in the freezer.

Sashimi went down really well for me when I was on soft foods. Don't be surprised though, how little you'll be able to eat before you full the first time.
