Seems early. I'd say wait. But you can always try a bit. My guess is that you don't finish one coin, let alone a roll. Rice and bread are the hardest things I've found.

I just want a little bit of sushi. I am 3 weeks out and I am wondering if it will be okay?

I tried sashimi for the first time around 5 weeks out when I was cleared for all solids. When u do finaly go Ask them to cut the fish into small chunks instead of long strips...it is much easier then doing it yourself. Am 3 months post op and still havent tried to eat a roll because I'd rather stay away from the rice anyways. Sushi has always been one of my favorite things and I'm so happy im still able to enjoy it and actually feel satisfied now. Don't really even miss the rice for now. :-)

I really don't think it would be very enjoyable. You are only supposed to chew sushi 3-4 times max or else the fish gets too mushy and warm in your mouth and it ruins the experience. We are supposed to chew our food very very well before swallowing....so i don't think it will be the same for you.

Also - if getting nigiri the rice could be a major factor. I doubt you could eat one piece.

At 3 weeks out you should be following exactly what your nutritionist/surgeons says to eat...not looking for permission to eat "outside the box". Give it time....you will be able to have sushi again.

Have some sashimi, it's great - high-protein and goes down easily. But I agree with others in that it's best to wait with anything with rice. Even today, I can only eat 3, maybe 4 smaller rolls - dry rice quickly makes me feel stuffed in an unpleasant way.

I order a bowl of crab salad - what they use for a California roll, edamame and sashimi. I eat about 1/4 cup of crab and same edamame and maybe 2 oz of fish. Always have leftovers for lunch the next day! Yummy.

You can ask for cucumber rolls instead of rice or seawead. I haven't tried them but read about it from another WLS patient.

      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.
