I ate sushi today



Recommended Posts

Hi... I was debating yesterday whether to have some sushi. I am not sure if I can have it once restricted and I want to start experimenting w/ what I would eat out.

So today I had two rolls - i ate very slowly and chewed well and no problem. Now if I start having a problem later w/ restriction i have a comparison - I did have a problem eating ground chicken the other day but I did eat fast.

I love sushi, but I don't want to risk it, so I now order sahimi.

I eat sushi all the time, and I love it. The rice can be challenging on tight band days. I would suggest, once you have restriction, that you take it very slowly with the rice. Tiny tiny bites and chew well.

Also, it always helps me on tight band days to start my meals with a hot beverage. I like hot tea, and that just seems to relax things and loosen the band.

Go luck.

Thanks! That is good advice on drinking hot tea before! I wanted to try it I am post op and on solids before my first fill Oct 14 so I have a comparison.

Ohhhh, sushi! I haven't tried it since I hit my sweet spot, but I WILL get around to it eventually! I don't have a problem with rice if I eat slowly, so maybe it will work. YUM!

I guess there is always the sashimi - but i always prefer rolls! I will have to see what happens w/ the restrictions. I'm sure if you take tiny tiny bites and chew it would be fine??? And take forever to eat it?? At least w/ this food its ok if its cold!

      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.
