Sushi!!!

So last night I went to Sushi for the first time since banding and it was awesome!!! I always sit at the sushi bar and I asked the sushi chef if I could order cut rolls with no rice (not on my post-op diet for 6 months) and they said I could no problem... so I got my favorite cut roll that comes with cooked crab and shimp, avocado and cucumber wrapped in seaweed (I didn't eat the seaweed...) with raw tuna and salmon on top... OMG it was so delicious! I want to go everyday now. And it is such a great way to get protein! YUMM YUMM YUMM!

Oh. I'm there. Can't wait. That sounds so freakin' good!

I cannot WAIT to eat sushi again. I love sushi!!

Oh Ahi tuna is going to be my new best friend. I'll be learning how to sear tuna steaks all sorts of ways!

We have a new Sushi place called the Blue C. It's one of those that has a conveyer belt that runs around the place with plates of different things you can take, then when you are done they total up the plates, prices vary based on the color of the plate. It's a bandsters dream IMHO. They have seared tuna, edamame, Nigiri with a small amount of rice in proportion to the fish, and other yummy things. The servings are small, two pieces of nigri, or 3 slices of tuna, and I love that I can have just a little, not have a bunch of leftovers to pay for and it's healthy and fun.

I wish that I would have ever thought to ask for that! I'm so going to do that from now on!!!!!

I have been to the Blue C. That place is awesome. I'll have to keep that after I am banded when I crave sushi.

I <heart> Sushi.

I've never foudn a place that would insist on using rice, even the stupid sushi places at the grocery store.

If you find the nori hard to deal with, ask for bean paper (it pretty much dissolves away) OR go with sashimi.

I <heart> sashimi.

If you're at home, just get a nice cut of yellowfin, blot dry (press hard) with papertowels. Dash some soy on. Slice on a bias in very thin strips. Then just add whatever you prefer and enjoy. This has become one of my favorite meals, pending I can find a good piece of yellowfin (not too easy since I'm in the Midwest).

Blue C sounds cool, never seen a place like that.

We just found Sushi Revolution in Tacoma, another new conveyor belt/pay-by-the-plate restaurant. We went last week, once before I was off mushies (I had lots of tofu in my miso soup) and once after I started solids. The second time I had 4 plates in front of me (I chose edamame, tamago, and the insides of four pieces of crab rolls). My 5-y.o. daughter had 7 plates (four of hers were cream puffs!) and my son, who is called "Sushi Boy!" at numerous local sushi joints, had twelve! Total cost was around $35 - gotta like that!

One of my concerns about lapband was whether I would be able to enjoy sushi ever again - I'm glad to say I can!

They have 3 locations now in and around Seattle WA. I think the concept is in other areas also, different names. There is a name for the type of resturant, I'll look for it and post it, you could search on that for your area?

Yum, that sounds good! If I'm down that way, I'll have to stop in.

Yeah if you find one that I can search for in alabama let me know, I can't think of any restaurants around here like that unless it's some place I didn't know about.

You can just order sashimi which is just fish, no rice. That's what I do! Albacore or Toro tuna is my fave.
