I'm a sushi, and sashimi addict. I could eat it all week. Is this going to be a problem after surgery?? I know the first stage of course I can't but later on. I'm just curious. I'm still going forward with the surgery no matter what.

I eat sushi all of the time! I waited until a coupke months. I eat sashimi mostly, but if i order a roll, i can only eat about half. At first 1/4.

I ate sashimi about a month out. I didn't eat rice until about 6 months out, and then I didn't eat much. It did not sit well at first. Now I enjoy sushi, but I often leave part of the rice uneaten.

You'll have to wait until you get to regular foods (phase 4), after the mushies and soft foods. Mine is after 4 weeks, but every doctor/NUT has a different plan. I would specifically ask your surgeon, since it is an important food for you. Now, the rice attached to some of the sushi - I would wait quite a while before I ate that, but that's just me. Even when your doctor OKs a food still take it very slow (take one very small bite and wait) to see how your body will react to it. Oh, and you have to chew the heck out of it before swallowing.

I love sushi too and can tolerate it no problem but I can only eat 3 pieces and Im STUFFED. Normally my bill at my favorite sushi place is only $1.25 because during the week they have specials and luckily the plate only has 3 pieces. Im a cheap date for sure :) This is the only food that I wish I could fit more of in my teeny tiny tummy but my weight loss, the new clothes, the energy and the health completely outweigh my wish to overeat sushi.

I'm a sushi fan, too. Glad to know that post-op, I'll still be able to indulge! What's your favorite sashimi or roll? I love tuna sashimi, and tobiko maki rolls (the ones with fish roe on top), as well as the smoked eel rolls.

Now I'm craving sushi...

I love spicy tuna rolls if i order a roll or a philly roll. and my fav sushi chef knows about my surgery, so she uses less rice when she makes my roll. And when i order sashimi she cuts it into bite size pieces ;) I am almost 10 months post op. my favorite sashimi is a mix of salmon and tuna. when i order sashimi the amount she makes me equals 3 1/2 ounces. I usually have a few bite size pieces left over that my husband gets (he doesnt mind!)

i still weigh my food religiously ;)

And when i order a roll, made with less rice, it is cut into 8 pieces and i can only eat 3-4.

I had it once about 6 months out and it was sooo good. I stuck with sashimi and no rice.

I have been eating sashimi since being cleared for all foods, it's what we as a family will eat if we go out. The "sake" (salmon) sashimi is my favorite I like it with tons of wasabi :D

I ate two pieces of my wife's eel avocado roll and didn't have any issues but won't repeat due the carbs in rice. I have never been a big fan of sashimi but will have to learn to deal with it moving forward should the urge for sushi strike.

      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.

      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.
