How much sashimi/sushi can you eat?



Recommended Posts

I’m curious to know what a typical sushi/sashimi meal looks like for you post-sleeve. I had a cup of miso Soup and 4 pieces of sashimi - 2 salmon and 2 tuna. I feel satisfied. Before surgery I would eat soup, half a tempura appetizer, and one to two sushi rolls. Just curious to know what your portions of this meal looks like!

I’m so glad someone posted this. I LOVE sushi and wondering if anyone still ate it after being sleeved. I’m going to wait a couple more months to try it out though.

Not that they’re uniform size or anything, but I’m almost a year out and I can eat an entire small-diameter Philly roll. Before the surgery, I could eat that, plus an entire steak-and-chicken-and-shrimp teppanyaki meal, plus probably stop for a double cheeseburger and fries on the way home.

My dietitian would probably prefer I eat sushi or sashimi since they’re mostly/all Protein, but I just prefer rolls.

Ha! Trick question.

The answer is...dun dun dunnnnhhhhh....

NONE!

And ever since they found tapeworms in the Pacific Salmon population this year (a relatively new appearance in that food chain), I will never eat raw fish again. Evs....and it's heartbreaking.

I Love Sashimi and I make Poke as well....I was sleeved in July and no more than 2ounces nothing else with it and that's about it. Such an amazing source of Protein.

I'm 7 months out and can do an egg roll and 3-4 pieces of sushi before being full.

Four pieces is my max, which is really annoying when the vendors sell them in 8-packs. The office hyenas are pretty delighted.

      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.

      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.
