keona 2 Posted December 23, 2008 So I just got on to liking Sushi and prior to my last fill, was stillable to eat it. But now, it is rather difficult. I really miss it. :thumbup: I think they should make little mini-bite-sized cali and tuna rolls! :eek: Merry xmas all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gingerbug 3 Posted December 23, 2008 Oh, I know. I go still for the saki and two bites of sushi. Not the rolls or the rice, just the fish. I can eat about 2-4 pieces of sushi, depending on their size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littlefroggy 0 Posted December 23, 2008 Sushi is one of my favorite foods! I had 1 piece before my first fill, and it hurt my stomach. Haven't had it since. I miss it too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luluc 6 Posted December 23, 2008 wow that's very unfortunate. i eat it regularly - mostly sashimi, as the sticky rice can be an issues sometimes.... there are rolls that can be made w/seaweed-cucumber. hubby has had our sushi place make a spicy tuna roll wrapped in a thin slice of cucumber...very tasty!!!

TQUAD64 9 Posted December 24, 2008 I has sushi over the weekend two pieces did me in. I was full by then. The old days, I could have ate the whole roll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aubrie 6 Posted December 29, 2008 I can only eat one or two pieces of a roll, and I have to remove the black seaweed stuff, but other than that I'm good to go. Occasionally, the rice is a bit TOO sticky, so I just add some of that spicey pink sauce and I do just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melodieus 0 Posted January 5, 2009 lol....funny that I seen this thread. I started my pre op diet today (liquids) and last saturday I made the whole family go out and eat japanese. I too love sushi and I thought it would probably be intolerable with the band. Glad to know that some of you can tolerate it.....THATS GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!

BandedCG 0 Posted January 5, 2009 I miss it, too! I'm scared to try it because of the rice, though. I haven't eaten any form of rice since my surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherO 7 Posted January 5, 2009 I eat it banded but have to pick off the sticky rice. Other than that, I still love it (but can't haven't again for a while due to pregnancy). I will definitely be going out for sushi once the baby is here, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

birdee 1 Posted January 22, 2009 I am glad to know that Sushi can be eaten. I can actually tolerate it pretty well. I was always scared of the raw due to potential food poision and vomiting. I know it can happen.....but is the risk low? Since being banded, I eat the non-raw rolls only.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BellaBean 0 Posted January 22, 2009 A huge misconceptions is that sushi is raw fish. This is not true at all! You can get it either cooked or non. I am very pleased to know I can eat sushi again. I used to work at a teppenyaki restaurant and ate Japanese food including sushi everyday! I miss it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
