Can you eat sushi?



Recommended Posts

I love Sushi and I miss Sushi because with my band I cannot eat rice and I have tried MULTIPLE times to ask them to cut into thinner rolls, eliminate the seaweed etc and I still want to throw it up because it gets stuck- Has anyone had any issues with eating Sushi with the sleeve?

I just went out for sushi last week with my husband. I was only able to eat 1 and a half pieces from the roll that I ordered, but it didn't get stuck or make me feel bad or anything. I just chew chew chewed until i felt safe to go ahead and swallow and it was fine. I ate another piece that night, picked apart another two pieces the next morning and threw the rest out. I had surgery 2 months ago tomorrow.

I have been ordering sushi with a cucumber wrap instead of rice for months, even before WLS. It just tastes better to me, and is sooo healthy. Try it.

I would think the sashimi would be okay, but watch out for the rice. I hear it can be very filling.

Try sashimi (just the sliced meat). The rice is usually the culprit, especially with the band. Sushi rice is extraordinaly sticky and clumpy. If nori is a challenge for you, most places will wrap with bean paper/soy wraps instead. It pretty much dissolves without much chewing.

I'm not sleeved yet, but if I can't eat sashimi afterward, I'm going to be in trouble. :)

I concur with Tera, the cucumber wrapped sushi is awesome, but it's a little pricey. I have been eating sushi with rice for about a month and a half with no issues. I just have to eat it slow, or it causes discomfort when going down. I alternate between salmon alvacado roll and smoked salmon sashimi. I eat this once or twice a week. Love it!

I have been craving sushi for a week now but I know that at 2 weeks out that is not an option yet but I can't wait. I also am dying for a pickle.... how crazy is that?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
