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 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:

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.

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.

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...

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.

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!!!

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!

Omg, I would cry if I had to give up my sushi... :blush:

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.

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.

      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.
