Faux-shi! NOM NOM NOM!



Recommended Posts

A friend of mine who also had VSG posted a picture of the riceless sushi she was brilliant enough to order, and in turn, I made it (kind of) at home myself. My mouth and my sleeve are SINGING.

I love love love spicy crab rolls and haven't had one since March. I googled the recipe and every one was similar. Copied from a website:

Here’s what you need, for 2/3 cup or so of salad (since it’s mayo-based you don’t need to eat a ton of it):

  • 1 scallion
  • 2 tablespoons mayo
  • sriracha chili sauce, to taste
  • 6 – 8 oz imitation crab sticks or flakes

That’s it! These are cheap and widely available ingredients. I use Japanese mayo, which has slightly more vinegar than American Mayonnaise. Use any kind you like, though! I don’t know why imitation crab is often found in sushi, but it is, here and in Japan. Don’t be afraid of it! It’s made mostly of white fish and tastes super delicious.

If you do not like spicy, leave out the Sriracha and it will still be yummy. As it is, I recommend making it without and adding a few drops at a time since we cannot drink while we eat and too hot is miserable. I added extra scallions because I love them. Next time, I will also add baby salad shrimp for more texture as well.

I pitted and quartered an avocado, sprinkled it with lemon juice and stuffed the hole with my crab salad. It was DELICIOUS. I am so stinking happy with this new meal option. It's all Protein and it's tasty. How can you go wrong?

It would be an awesome dip, too. I am thinking about stuffing mini red peppers with it for the crunch.

That would taste good! Mine had rice paper on it (only 8 carbs) but this would totally eliminate carbs. Besides it sounds really good and I love srirachi sauce....I love spicy food!

Funny thing when I saw the title of this thread I thought it was talking about something totally different, if you look at the title quickly it looks like it says faux-**** which I was really curious what that would be. lol.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
