Do you like sushi ?



Recommended Posts

Even before surgery I've been craving sushi, I've only had cooked sushi non of the raw stuff which I really want to try I was told by surgeon that I can eat whatever I want as long as it's low in fat and low carbs also no junk food and sodas and drinks full of sugar but sushi is healthy and high in Protein. My main concern about raw fish is getting sick from it so I was wondering what's your take on sushi ?

I previously ate a lot of sushi, all kinds but mostly raw fish, never been sick from it. But I stick to quality restaurants. I'm pre-op but wouldn't the rice cause pain?

Raw fish is great, has never given me a problem either pre op or post op, but stay away from the rice.

I only have sashimi, which is raw fish - no rice. Or sushi specialty rolls that are wrapped in cucumber slices or seaweed instead of rice.

although we are supposed to avoid the rice, I've eaten normal sushi twice in the past 6 months. I had the same fears as you did. I did just fine but I stopped myself after 2 pieces because I knew the rice would start expanding as it sits in my stomach. So I would suggest eating off of a friends plate, rather than getting your own roll!

I don't like sushi. I love it! My first date with my wife was to sushi, the night of our wedding, sushi, 1st anniversary and about 1/2 of our anniversaries. I love a good dead raw fish!

I was a bigtime lover of sushi before wls......and I still enjoy it on occasion now.

I"m not a big fan of rice anymore, though.

I'm 5 weeks post op and I'm practically living off salmon sashimi. It tastes better to me than ANYTHING else :)

I love sushi. My favorite restaurant will leave off all or most of the rice. If I go somewhere other than my favorite, I order sashimi or Kani salad. If I'm plate surfing off others, I just eat the insides. :)

I have been thinking about sushi ???? as it's one of my favourite foods. I'm only 2 weeks post op, so it's a no go at the moment. However I'm thinking miso Soup might be okay..although the sodium levels might be a little high.

      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.
