Eating Sushi with the lap band



Recommended Posts

This is probably a silly question but I keep reading on various sites where people with the lapband are able to eat Sushi. How do you do this with having to take such small bites? I would love to have a California roll right now.

I haven't had any since my last fill, hmmmm now I want some. I kinda go real slow with the wrap. I have been able to enjoy it by using my fork to cut it up. Little messy but I still get my Sushi and I don't have a problem. :rolleyes:

Tiny bites, and yeah, it falls apart when you eat it so slowly. I dont do that well with anything like that that you trditionally eat with your hands, as you tend to need to take large fast bites before it falls apart.

I have no trouble with Sushi, if I can I'll bite a peice in half, but usually you can't do that without making a mess of yourself, so the whole peice goes in like it used to, I just make extra sure I chew chew chew before swallowing, I have no trouble. Last time I ordered it with less rice, that worked out well. Can't eat nearly as much as I used to, but that's ok, at least I can still eat it!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
