Sleeve and sushi?



Recommended Posts

I have had sushi 2x since surgery. It is amusing that it fills me up now, I was always annoyed with it before because it wasn't filling.

I don't eat the rice. I suggest not eating the rice. You still need all your room for Protein. Enjoy the flavors skip the rice.

It took me quite some time to be able to eat sushi, but I can now as long as I'm careful. I eat sashimi mainly. Cucumber salad, sashimi, and maybe 1-2 pieces of a roll. Be careful with the rice. I find I do best with brown rice. I don't do the miso because it's a liquid.

Enjoy! Sushi is great for you. :)

Over 3 years out and 2 pieces fills me up. I just get egg drop Soup and eat a piece or two off my friends plate. I do like the tuna but still just a couple of bites.

You'll want to learn how to go out to any kind of restaurants and be able to enjoy a meal. My wife and daughter have finally gotten used to the fact that I tweak every meal I eat out. The wait staff are always happy to accommodate the fact that I don't eat carbs or sugar. Frequently I'll replace the starch with a second veggie. (But I get full before I can eat it anyway.) So go online and look the sushi restaurant's menu with an eye toward avoiding the "white stuff". There's pretty much always an option you can enjoy. And if it's not posted, give them a call to find out about making you a sashimi salad or something like that. You've had lots of great suggestions already. Give them a shot, and stay strong! Once you get the hang of it, eating out is easy -- and still fun!

I went out for sushi tonight at my favorite sushi restaurant. I was sleeved 3/1/16. I had 3 pieces of sashimi (butterfish/Walu) a Dipped in a bit of low sodium soy. No rice.. Just fish and it was great! I didn't have any issues. I had been craving sushi for a week. The only downside was even though I ply dabbed in the soy sauce, I found waiting the hour to drink was torture.

I have been wanting sushi so bad and almost got some today, but was worried it would make me sick and I was running errands, so I didn't want to risk it. I know the place I go 1 roll would be 4 meals at least they are so big.

Does your surgeon's office have a nutritionist you can ask about it? My program does not allow rice at all because it is too high in carbs. However, I ate a few pieces of sashimi and did fine. I am 8 months out.

5 months almost for me. I eat sushi any time i can. As others stated, sashimi is a good option. Also my favorite sushi place has nigiri, which is a piece of fish on just a little bit of rice. I usually order 1 sushi and 1 nigiri, perfect.

Almost 3 months out now. I eat sushi,sashimi about 2x a month with no problems. I first ate it at 6 months to let the stomach acid get back to normal as that kills any parasites in the uncooked fish at my nutritionists request.

      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.
