Sushi - 6 Months out



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I had sushi for the first time since surgery it was also the first time having any rice since surgery. I was surprised just how filling even a tiny amount of rice was. I am able to eat about 6oz of food but rice really packed a punch even from a few bites. I rarely ate rice in the past but it was never something that I associated with being very filling.

Thanks for sharing, that is good to know. I love sushi but if the little bit of rice fills your pouch, it's hard to get the Protein in from the sushi. So, boo. I'll have to remember that.

Rice is still tough for me 1 1/2 years out. When I do a Sushi joint, I try to go for sashimi if available, or I do hand rolls with soy paper (seaweed does not play nice with me) no rice, most places will use veggies as the filler. If I do a cut roll I ask for light rice and most places accommodate. after a few pieces I am set. 👍

Rice is hard. I've had sushi maybe 3 or 4 times and I poke as much rice off as I can.

I can handle most sashimi just fine, salmon is still my favorite, followed by Poke style tuna.

Beef still gives me issues unless its ground or falling apart cooked. Same with chicken, dark meat is easier than white meat.

I've had sushi (two orders each time) three times by now, starting at my fourth month out. I've had no trouble eating the rice, but because of that, I have to be careful. Some of the Japanese restaurants here don't offer sashimi, but only chirashi, which is raw fish over rice. You can just eat the raw fish (there's plenty of it) and leave the rice.

Hi Guys,

As a native 'rice-eater', I have been eating rice since my second month- Obviously I dont pig out- but I have eaten sushi a few times as well. I have been able to keep it down. I was losing a bit too quickly in the beginning and wanted to slow things a bit- didnt want people to know I had WLS.

Wonder why all of us are so different in our reaction to food. I can't eat beef.

Hope this helps- and I dont get yelled at by a bunch of folks.

      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.
