I'm 5 months post op and I don't eat rice. It takes up all the room for Protein. I think you can have sushi once you've transitioned to full food. Just know that you might only be able to eat one or two pieces.

I'm just over 4 months and had sushi for the first time the other day. I could only eat 2 pcs comfortably. I just made sure to chew thoroughly, as always. I consider it a treat since most of the time, Protein comes first.

I ate sushi (actually sashimi....no rice!), at 4 weeks post op. But please check with your surgeon first! I was allowed to because sashimi is so soft. It goes down super easy and is super healthy. Just check with the doc first. :-)

I love me some good sushi. I have it at least once a week, I just dont eat the rice.

I wish I liked Sashimi, truth be told the raw part scares me so I've never tried. lol! I guess what I should say is "I wish I wasn't so afraid of raw fish that I would try Sashimi". lol!

I had tuna and salmon nigiri for dinner (I'm a few days into being cleared for all foods, six weeks out on Wednesday). It was only 2.5 pieces (3rd piece no rice, just fish), but it all settled well and tasted good.

Instead of the normal rolls, look to see if the sushi chef can make you a Protein roll which is just a roll without rice...usually wrapped with soy paper, seaweed, or thin long slices of cucumber. If they don't offer a protein roll on the menu, most sushi chefs will gladly make you a custom roll!

Sashimi was one of my favorite sources of Protein when I was first back on solid foods. I stay away from rice completely, but still have sashimi quite often. Most of the sushi "rolls" typically have some sugar component in the the sauces in addition to the rice so you need to watch for that as it will most likely be astray from your post-op diet provided by your surgeon/NUT.

      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.
