When you get to eating regular food (whatever that is), is sushi in real moderation allowed? How about pizza, if you eat just the cheese, some meat, and the sauce (no crust)?

I've talked to several people about pizza. Two friends had surgery about 6 weeks ago and they both said that they can eat about half a slice of pizza.

I am a sushi addict, I stick to it!! I have add it on my soft up till now!! and it is WOW!

Sashimi, Temaki, and I remove the rice so I Can have more Protein in, although when I had the rice it didnt bother me:) I will go with the sushi, little calories less bad fat, loads of good nutrition and really zero carbs if u have no rice.

My doc said anyting I want once your onto the REAL food stage...just go slow and try one new thing at a time so you know what worked and what didn't.

I would personally choose sushi...I miss it sooo much, but can't imagine rice working for me yet. Doc said it can feel 'stuck' because its a doughy consistancy, I'm not ready to have anything feel any worse than I do somedays already...lol.

pizza I have been craving so I made a mini one on a piece of a wrap, just added some sauce and mushrooms and low fat shredded cheese. I ate about half of what I made..but it helped quench the craving (obviously "head hunger: but hey, in moderation I'll feed my head hunger sometimes!) Hope this helps.

I have sushi all the time at work (at the airport). Sine the guy knows me I ask him to cut the pieces in half since I have to chew so well. I can still only have about half the roll but a love me my Philly roll.

I eat pizza all the time, but held off until I got to maintenance. I can eat 1 slice of medium size pizza minus the top crust.

As for sushi, I only eat the cooked with rice, and I can eat about 3-4 small slices. It's one of my favorite things in the world. That sashimi stuff is allowed in soft food stage, and many people love it for an easy Protein source. I'm just not a fan of eating stuff that isn't cooked.

Mmmm Sushi! I have been eating sashimi for a few weeks now. (couple times/per week, I've been addicted for years now!) It's one of the only things that doesn't make me feel crummy after I eat it, and was going thru withdrawal in the 6 weeks I couldn't eat it. If I order nigiri, I don't eat the rice and have poked the insides of a roll out and skip the rice on that too. We had our sushi chef make a few yummy rolls and wrap them in cucumber instead of rice, sooooo good! I only ate 1-2 pieces of that since I didn't want to overdue it on the raw veggies.

I'm one of the odd balls who doesn't like pizza, so I guess that's my saving grace, cause I'm sure I would be craving that too!

Hi,

I ate sashimi (sushi without rice) as soon as I got to soft foods. Rice is too filling for me, so I skip the nagiri. Luckily, the sushi place I go to has a "no rice" roll wrapped in sliced cucumber.

I can eat a half a slice of pizza without eating the top rolled crust, but it gives me heartburn, so I have only had it once. Not worth the pain. You'll find lots of things taste different after the sleeve and you may not like something you used to like.

      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.
