Hi all, very happy to have found you, and to be preparing for my procedure. a couple of questions around rice - has anyone been told that rice is a problem and what does that mean to eating sushi!!!???

Yes, rice is a common problem food. I can't eat just plain white rice, brown is iffy.

I can do sushi though, esp. nigiri(sp?). I think it's the proportion of rice to the fish that makes it work. Along with a little soy sauce.

Sushi is hit and miss for you. Typically I can get down one tuna roll but this week I tried another type of roll and PB'd it up. I would try it but eat it very slowly.

What about trying shashimi? It's like sushi, but without the rice.

Sushi is one of the things that really worried me; knowing or thinking I'd have to give it up all together. Knowing this, I 'tested' sushi made with 'soy paper' instead of with seaweed (which would be horrible going down). Also, just ask your sushi chef if they can make it with very little rice - if any at all! Trust me, the taste is still delicious!:hungry:

hi,

i can eat sushi with no problems as of yet...especially if the pieces are small. i just have to make myself dissolve it as much as possible before i swallow it. and, i have to eat slow. i can't go to a sushi restaurant when i'm starving!!

I have been able to eat it just fine. I eat it slowly and use a lot of sodium free soy sauce.

thanks for the info - i am realizing as i read more of this site, that the answer is never yes or no, it's more of a 'think it through and find the way it will work for me'!

appreciate the feedback,

This was one of my biggest worries too (what does that say about me???). Would I be able to eat sushi (and scuba dive was the other worry).

I have been banded almost 2 months and tried shashimi first -- that was a hit (phew!) Last week I tried a sushi roll and was able to eat 5 pieces and I was stuffed. I can say sushi is MUCH CHEAPER now that I am banded. From now on I will strategically pick the one roll I want most! I like it with soy paper too.

Just remember to eat slow, chew, chew, chew and enjoy.
