I had sashimi (which is just a slab of raw fish) on Monday at 4 weeks PO. It was wonderful! I hear you can get sushi wrapped in cucumber instead of rice.

Mmm that would be so awesome! Thank you

We went with friends to a sushi restaurant and had "low-carb" sushi. It was a sushi roll wrapped with a rice paper and instead of rice it was filled with crab meat. That is about as close to sushi as we feel comfortable at this point. Of the 6 pieces in the roll, my wife and I were able to eat 2 each before we were full. We both had surgery together on 11/11 and we only tried this sushi about 2 weeks ago.

That’s nice to know! Thank you!

I didn't start eating it until I was in maintenance - and I still rarely eat it. The rice kind of sits there like a brick in my stomach.

That’s true.

Im 2+ years out. Still haven’t had any to date. I switched to (rice-less) sashimi, which I had for the first time post-op around 2-3 months...yummmmmm!

I’ve heard of sashimi I’ve never tried it

I was just wondering when it was safe or if we could eat sushi or California rolls at all after surgery.

I’m really craving some! I’m 4 weeks post op

When did you eat sushi after gastric sleeve surgery?

You can also make your own by blending milk with your favourite yoghurt. Just blend it well & strain to get rid of any pieces of fruit.

Thank you for the tip. Great idea

oikos, chobani and dannon light and fit are good options. just watch for added sugars.

Ok thank you.

Hello. I had surgery feb 9 and doctor has me on liquid diet and 2 Protein Shakes a day. He said I could start drinkable yogurts.. which ones do you all recommend? Some good ones to take away me wanting to eat food lol

Im 5'3 and 187 pounds with type 2 diabetes will i qualify for gastric seleve surgery?

I am 4’ 11” 183 pounds and my insurance qualified me. I went through a 6 month nutritionist program but after that I was approved. Got surgery done Feb 9.

We all have different programs. I had pre-mixed Protein Drinks 16 hours after surgery. Real coffee 48 hours after. So this is why you see people ask about what people's program says when someone is asking if they can do X or Y.

We're all different, and what your surgeon finds to be optimal may not be what mine says.

Yes that is true! Mine has me on Protein Shakes and broths for 1 week. 2nd and 3d week I can add drinkable yougurt and creamy blended Soups. and 4th week I can add soft foods which I’m so excited for

I switched to powder-based shakes pretty early, because I hated the pre-mixed ones. I could taste the Protein through the taste if that makes sense?

I would do a shake on

• 30g of strawberry flavored whey isolate
• A big scoop of plain Icelandic skyr (high Protein yog - watch out for the added sugar in the ones I've seen in American stores)
• A tiny piece of banana for taste (called the dietician to ask if ok)
• 2-3 oz. of sugar-free choc milk (was in my plan already), also mostly for taste and texture

Blend and add ice cubes afterwards so it stays fresh and cold for half an hour while drinking. Same macros or better than pre-mixed, a million times better tasting.

Thank you! I will try that

I already have a intolerance to lactose but my doctor told me that most people develop a lactose intolerance after surgery. The milk may be upsetting your stomach. You may need to make your own with almond or oat milk. I did.

Thank you! It’s been a change for me.

I found that thinning the Protein Shakes with some Water helped get them down. Protein Water helps too.

Oh wow I could try that. Thank you!!

When I drink more than half of Protein Shake my stomach starts hurting. I bought the Protein flavored waters and it makes it a little better but it only has 15 grams. What else are you drinking on your liquid stage to help you feel full and make your stomach happy?

If you have a pho restaurant in your area, their broths are usually delicious. Usually comes with noodles and veggies, but several of the pho places near me were happy to just sell me broth.

Thank you! We don’t have any nearby. But there is a Chinese restaurant and they sale broths. I need to go see about some. Thank you

Are you looking for recipes for the liquid stage or the pureed stage? For the liquid stage, I just used Protein Soup mixes from the BariatricPal Store. For the pureed stage, I made some pureed black bean Soup that was really good:

I found another recipe for pureed black bean soup that is much easier, but I haven't tried it, so I can't vouch for it:

Thank you! I am getting surgery done tomorrow and have been on a liquid diet. I haven’t found any good broths. And I wanted some for after surgery for after week 2 I can add blended Soups

Hello. I’m trying to find good Soups and they said we could have creamy blended Soup. Does anyone recommend any good ones or recipes?

Feb 9! I been on a week liquid diet!
