I do sushi quite often. I can't do the seaweed though. I didn't used to be able to do the rice but now I can. I just order it and then take it apart and eat everything but the seaweed. BAD PB episode on seaweed. Awful.

Everything else is GREAT.

I tried sushi & had a terrrible PB experience. You can put in a search for "sushi" & you should find out a lot about it. People say they can have it made with rice paper rather than rice & that it's much better that way.

Sushi and I are good friends, in place of the seaweed though I ask them to use rice paper, it is much thinner and much easier to chew then the seaweed. Just be careful with the rice, I was fine with it until I started getting my fills, my 2nd official PB was on rice form sushi, but now I have learned ;)

cgrubz- it means productive belching. Its a problem when bandsters eat too much too fast & food gets caught & has no way out but to come back up. When you find something you don't know about there is a button (upper right corner) called search. This will help you bring up all sorts of information on the subject you asking about. Its very helpful & you can read about all kinds of different experiences banded people have had. This will help prepare yourself when you are banded. Hope that helps :0)

Sushi- I will have to try out this rice paper. I was planning on having sushi has one of my LAST Meals:0) I LOVE IT- But I am A soft crab or veggie only. HHMMM Yummy!

I have been wanting to try it since it came up on the board awhile ago but have not since we do not have a Sushi place in this town. One is opening in the near future so going to check it out.

Suggestions for a first timer would be most welcomed:)

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE SASHIMI!! It's the perfect bandster food, and if the rice is really mushy that works too. But I steer clear of the seaweed since an awful PB incident myself once.

My favorite part of sushi is the fish, so I do VERY WELL at sushi places. "Sashimi lunch special, please" is my favorite phrase. ;)

Umm, I'd probably wait until you've been on mushies for a week or so. And then take little bites. Enjoy!! ;)

      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.
