I love sashimi too. I would prefer a sushi roll but I don't go there

Sashimi was one of my favorite sources of Protein when I was first back on solid foods. I stay away from rice completely, but still have sashimi quite often. Most of the sushi "rolls" typically have some sugar component in the the sauces in addition to the rice so you need to watch for that as it will most likely be astray from your post-op diet provided by your surgeon/NUT.

Instead of the normal rolls, look to see if the sushi chef can make you a Protein roll which is just a roll without rice...usually wrapped with soy paper, seaweed, or thin long slices of cucumber. If they don't offer a protein roll on the menu, most sushi chefs will gladly make you a custom roll!

I had tuna and salmon nigiri for dinner (I'm a few days into being cleared for all foods, six weeks out on Wednesday). It was only 2.5 pieces (3rd piece no rice, just fish), but it all settled well and tasted good.

Hahahaha hahhaa. Like, never.

I wish I liked Sashimi, truth be told the raw part scares me so I've never tried. lol! I guess what I should say is "I wish I wasn't so afraid of raw fish that I would try Sashimi". lol!

SO TRUE! i'm salivating just thinking about tunaaaaaaaa

Sashimi is the best!! It's perfect" soft, pure Protein, little bit of "good" fat, no carbs, and yummmmmm!!!

I'm planning on sashimi as soon as I'm cleared for soft food yum yum!

I ate sushi (actually sashimi....no rice!), at 4 weeks post op. But please check with your surgeon first! I was allowed to because sashimi is so soft. It goes down super easy and is super healthy. Just check with the doc first. :-)
I love me some good sushi. I have it at least once a week, I just dont eat the rice.

I'm 5 months post op and I don't eat rice. It takes up all the room for Protein. I think you can have sushi once you've transitioned to full food. Just know that you might only be able to eat one or two pieces.

Hey Mimiol3,
I am right with you. I am in my second week and they told me to purée now, I am so tired of this nasty process of food I don't know what to do. No matter how well it is seasoned, once you puree it, it losers EVERYTHING!!! Ugh!

I had the sleeve and they originally said 4 days but sent me home the day after. I was a little disappointed because I was nervous about going home with the new tummy.

Hello KC13,
I was sleeved 12/19 too. I went to see my doctor this past Monday and they told me I can do about an hour if I feel up to it. My first day was 35 minutes, but I felt like I could do more. I'm now doing 30 minutes of cardio and 30 light weights. Modified yoga and cycle and elliptical Machine. I think you are good to go. No RUNNING or heavy weights though

Just checking in on everyone. Had my surgery on 12/19/2016. Started out 266, after 3 day clear liquid I lost down to 255 on the day of surgery I was 260. It has been 72 hours later, and I am down 10lbs already. I'm not hurting in any of my incision sites, my pain is my soar throats from the intubation. But I have been gargling with salt and it's just now feeling better. Nervous about getting on the scale to see where I am. I have decided to only weigh in once a week.
QUESTION: is anyone having trouble getting all of this Fluid in each day? I am supposed to start drinking at 8AM AND FINISH BY 8PM, but I get so full and can't consume everything The said to drink on the meal sheet. Any advice???

Hello Newmein2017,
I'm having surgery at 11AM tomorrow. I'm excited, just not sleeping much, spending a LOT of time sitting on the white throne. This clear liquid diet is awesome!!! I've already dropped 11 lbs. I started Thursday night. Clear liquids (broth, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello, gatoraide zero, and Water. AND nothing by mouth after midnight tonight.
I had to pick up my prescriptions before hand and other miscellaneous items to pack for my stay at the hospital. I also purchased everything I will need for my smoothies once I am cleared for that. I am lactose intolerant so I won't be able to do the whey Protein Isolate, I am doing Pea Protein & Hemp Protein Isolate powders. I bought a ton of the Lift Protein Water by Atkins & Isopure Protein Water been sipping on that these past couple of days. I have gas tabs that dissolve in mouth & gas strips. I have Calcium with Vitamin D, Biotin for my hair, Kosher herbal laxative, B12 dissolving tabs to put under my tongue for energy after surgery clearance. A new set of PJs and slippers for the hospital and a journal which my doctor & nutritionist suggested I use pre & post surgery. I think that is it.
Oh & SUGAR FREE JELLO!!!
