gatormel08 0 Posted November 21, 2008 Is anyone able to eat sushi? I'm not banded yet but I LOVE sushi and I really don't want that to be taken away but I will give it up if I'm not able to have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spendi 0 Posted November 21, 2008 I had sashimi last Friday. I love sushi also. At first I thought it might be kind of gross to have to chew the hell out of a piece of raw fish (it kind of was) but it was good. I ordered sashimi instead of a roll because I thought I could do without the rice but my lunch came with a side of rice anyway. I never eat rice but I wanted to feel full again so I took my leftover soy/wasabi mixture, dumped it on the rice and ate almost the whole thing! :cursing: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted November 21, 2008 I dont mind chewing raw fish up but I had some mussels the other day and that WAS gross. i threw the container out, lol. sushi I can do but not a lot of rice. So what I tend to do is choose the packs that different kids and pull what I can off the rice and eat it. I can eat a california roll or two but the rest of my meal has to be just fish.

purplegoddess 0 Posted November 21, 2008 I love sushi, but now it's sashimi only. I can't have even a little rice in the rolls. The sushi rice is particularly sticky and makes for a painful stuck food issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luluc 6 Posted November 21, 2008 i can't help but order spicy tuna roll every wk - and it takes a long time to go down, but i wait it out because it's my favorite. 4pcs and i'm done, however. sashimi & quail eggs or edamame are easy enough to eat. i couldn't imagine having to give up sushi - it's a staple for DH and i.

ckelly37 1 Posted November 21, 2008 Oh I luv sushi i order spicy tuna and spicy salmon all the time with brown rice! its great and i dont have a problem getting it down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Does 1 Posted November 22, 2008 I order 'tuna/salmom/yellowtail tartare'-it's a pile of chopped fish-with some crunchies/mayo/masago roe mixed in...nice and soft but oh so Protein rich. I still dab with wasabi, soy and tiny bits of ginger...but chew oh so slow! chew chew chew...can get in about 4 ounces perhaps...delish!! I am also lucky my local sushi joint has 1/2 priced sushi at lunch-I also order spicy tuna sashimi... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lunabeane 2 Posted November 22, 2008 For a couple of months I could only eat sashimi but now i can have a roll every once in a while. I still feel more comfortable eating the sashimi though. I've never had a problem getting anything down but depending on how tight I am, ones more enjoyable than the other. I don't think you'll have a problem.

aubrie 6 Posted November 24, 2008 I do just fine with sushi except the black seaweed they wrap it in. I do better if it has a spicey sauce over it. It keeps the rice from being so sticky. Funny though.... my band surgeon IS Asian and he had a fit that I still ate sushi. He said it's dangerous, loaded with creepy crawlies, and even he won't eat it. He was raised on it, but won't eat it now..... Made me think twice before I ate the next time.... But DAMN it's good!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lipstix64 1 Posted November 28, 2008 I had Sushi the other night, with no problem. But then, I am not filled yet. I am getting a first fill on Dec 3rd. I had a Boston roll-it had shrimp and avacado, delish! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BethFromVA 5 Posted November 28, 2008 Omg, I would cry if I had to give up my sushi... I was wondering about that the other day. Just figured rice may be difficult to handle, but that's fine, so long as I can enjoy the rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
urwhatueat 0 Posted December 3, 2008 Is anyone able to eat sushi? I'm not banded yet but I LOVE sushi and I really don't want that to be taken away but I will give it up if I'm not able to have it. I was thinking about how to eat a california roll and I have decided to get a california HAND roll without the rice. Then you would have the soy paper (or seaweed paper) crab meat, cucumber and avocado. They can make any roll into a HAND roll without the rice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
