Im 2+ years out. Still haven’t had any to date. I switched to (rice-less) sashimi, which I had for the first time post-op around 2-3 months...yummmmmm!

I didn't start eating it until I was in maintenance - and I still rarely eat it. The rice kind of sits there like a brick in my stomach.

I was just wondering when it was safe or if we could eat sushi or California rolls at all after surgery.

We went with friends to a sushi restaurant and had "low-carb" sushi. It was a sushi roll wrapped with a rice paper and instead of rice it was filled with crab meat. That is about as close to sushi as we feel comfortable at this point. Of the 6 pieces in the roll, my wife and I were able to eat 2 each before we were full. We both had surgery together on 11/11 and we only tried this sushi about 2 weeks ago.

I had sashimi (which is just a slab of raw fish) on Monday at 4 weeks PO. It was wonderful! I hear you can get sushi wrapped in cucumber instead of rice.

Before surgery, I ate lots of sushi. About three months post-surgery, I ate one order of sushi (ikura) and uni sashimi. They tasted wonderful but since surgery, I've found that I don't tolerate rice well. Even a small amount is too much, and I feel uneasy, so I pretty much stick to sashimi -- salmon, yellowtail, mackerel, uni, ikura, and egg cake (tamago) -- for special occasions. Nowadays, I mostly buy ahi tuna slabs (which are frequently on sale) and eat the ahi with horseradish.

I love sushi, but even three years out...I eat two to three pieces and I'm done. If you make your own and use brown rice, it's not quite as brutal a bomb on your blood sugar. Also, making your own, you can keep your rice layer very thin on your seaweed. Lots of Youtube videos to watch and learn:)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
